Confusion on RS rims - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

llevan22 · 05-26-2009, 04:01 AM

I'm a bit confused. I am trying to figure out what the RS to do to a 2LT -- on the Build Your Own Camaro website it paints the rims completely black. However, every picture that I've seen of a 2LT/RS has Silver rims. Can somebody clarify for me? Apologize for the noob question -- I plan to order this week and I am just confused.

the computer generated view of midnight silver is far darker than the color is in person, it's just a slightly darker silver with bigger rims (20") as far as what the rs pack does for the tires

I understand -- thank you for clarifying. The generated preview royally confused me.

Well I'm no expert but I have seen one rs package just once and a few regular 2 LTs with 19's. The wheels on the rs did seem a bit darker but still looked silver to me. It was inside on a dark gloomy day. Not much light. But they are absolutly not black. Also the rs comes with midnight silver plainted alluminum wheels but I believe u can upgrade to the polished alluminum wheels. I hope this helps .

Anyone happen to have a side-by-side comparison of the rims? Perhaps the LT/RS vs. the polished alums on the SS's?

Here is a pic of my 2LT/RS with the 20" Midnight Silver wheels.

and this is "Prima" Donna's 2LT/RS with 20" Polished wheels.

Thank you. The Midnight Silvers are better than I expected -- awesome!

Dude. You just don't know. MS rims are 10 times better looking in person. I have yet to see a picture that does them ANY justice. You WONT be sorry.

Can ya do me a favor? Measure the top of the tire to the edge of the fender lip on your 2LT. My 1LT w/ RS package seems to have a higher-than-expected stance, especially when compared to some other pics
