Can we get RS with 19" Rims ???

Is there any way to get the RS package and still get 19" rims? I don't like the 20's, but I want the HIDs and spoiler. I suppose I could sell them and buy something else.... or maybe the dealer could do something for me.

I believe I am trying to find out the same thing. I really do not like the midnight finish...I'd rather have mine silver. Is it possible to get the 20's in silver?

Im sure there will be 2LT guys who want your 20s, just look for someone who wants to do a swap. It should be very easy

I must be getting too old because I just can't figure out why people want 20, 21 or 22 inch rims with tiny sidewalls. Is it just for the looks? Because they must ride harder and it's so much easier to ruin a tire and rim. Ya maybe it handles a bit better but ...

That is correct in some cases but not in the case of the 2010 Camaro.

I have a 2002 Z28, if I wanted to put 20x9s on my car and maintain a close to stock tire height I would have to go with 275/30/20. Each sidewall would be 3.25 inches which is pretty small, I wouldn't do it.
If you look at the stock tires on the 2010 Camaro they are 275/40/20 which means each sidewall will be 4.33 inches. That would be the equivalent of me running 275/35/18s on my 02 Camaro, which I am with my 18" Z06 rims.

So not only are the rims getting bigger but the tires are getting bigger to compensate.
