Mine came with polished 20's, but I'm running some LS rims with my winter tires...

I actually like the 18's more than the 20's; I think they have a more classic 60's musclecar look. And some tall slicks on 18's look all business more so than the 20's and 22's with skinny tires.

still rocking mine so far and i dont see the point of getting rid of basically new tires for something so much more exspensive IE 20's even though the look of 20s are better imo just too exspensive and i dunno if there are many 18 aftermarket wheels that look good for the tire size.

Just like I bought it

40k miles and looks great. Tires probably have another 40K miles. BTW, I have a pristine set of 20" MS's in the shed. I would like to see a some really nice old style rally's or keystones.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. A guy on here has the 18" steel wheels I need to pm about. But as my Camaro gets closer then I'll offer him and have them shipped.


Are winter tires, snow tires, and all-seasons the same? What tires come on the 18' wheels? What size are the tires on the 18" wheels. The wheels and tires need to be mounted, balanced, valve stems, and tire monitor sensors(do these get changed every tire change, new ones for old ones), right? Just need to find what all is involved with these Camaro tires.

All-season tires have decent handling capabilities through warm weather, cold weather, dry or wet roads and icy roads. Snow tires have different tread characteristics to give your car better traction in snow, but they'll make more road noise than all season and performance tires.
The 18" wheels come with BFGOODRICH RADIAL TA tires that are All-Season. The size is 245/55-18.
Wheels and tires need to be mounted, balanced, have valve stems replaced, but the sensors can go 5-7 years (I think) before they need to be replaced.

*Please feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes!
