Nice wheels! Can I ask what they are? I have to say there are VERY few aftermarket wheels I've seen that I thought looked much if any better than the stock RS wheels (my opinion) but I like these.

I'd love them more if they were dished outward instead of in, but I still like them. Guessing they are lighter than stock?

The wheels are from TSW they're called "Nurburgring"s. They are wayyyyyy lighter than OEM!

Check them out here:

Nice! I ordered the same wheels (20" TSW Nurburgrings) a little while back, but with the silver faced finish. Kinda making me wish I got the bronze! lol

Weather here sucks, so the new wheels\tires won't be getting put on until spring.

Awesome job man, I really like the new look and I look forward to seeing how it all works at the track.

Make sure to come by so I can out those sweet brake ducts IRL!

You coming to the track tomorrow night?

Thanks Erik... it is starting to come together!

I might come down and watch...but... no brake pads yet... and I need to finish the front splitter before I track it again.

After a "Spirited" run back from Daytona, I gotta say, these tires and wheels really really help the car! It handles soooo much better and it even seems smaller/lighter than with the OE stuff!

I'll tell ya something else, the change in size changed the final gear ratio for the better! This is the gear this car should have had from the get go! And even driving a bit faster than normal, I still only lost about 1 MPG...

I'm really looking forward to getting it out on the track!

I'm pretty sure yours is my fav. 5th gen so far. And that means a lot coming from me, someone who normally hates huge spoilers (though I completely understand the "why" of it all). Just something about yours doesn't look out of place at all somehow, I love it. All of it.

Keep it up!

Beauwulf · 01-29-2011, 10:05 AM

And I thought I had a bit too much wheel gap.... They make the Camaros run on 18s in Grand Am racing!

Hmmm... wonder what rearend ratio they use at Daytona?

BaylorCamaro · 01-30-2011, 01:47 AM

That's sooooooo ugly! Anything below 19's on a Camaro does not look good AT ALL!

Your Camaro is a work of art.

Haters gonna hate.

Beawulf's Camaro is awesome! And I'm not really hatin' on the GS Camaro because I know what it can do, but small wheels on this Gen Camaro look really odd.

yeah I agree with you. i know that I've seen some camaros out there with some 17's on and gotta say.......not a fan.

Sevn86 · 02-04-2011, 11:20 PM

Your car looks great!

Beauwulf · 02-06-2011, 04:34 PM

Here's a couple of parts for the splitter mod I had to make. I couldn't find any long struts anywhere so, I made some...
