I hope these help in peoples decision making until we see some pictures of the real deals.

GamerGuyZ28 · 10-23-2008, 11:48 PM

GamerGuyZ28 · 10-23-2008, 11:49 PM

midnight silver

props to gomerr

Scooter · 10-24-2008, 12:12 PM

Very cool, nice job putting them on the car!!!

1_2Many · 10-30-2008, 12:01 PM

I'm not a fan of the 21's...they don't seem to flow well with the clean lines of the Camaro. I think it's the little spokes that run along the larger ones and the bolt heads.

I wish they had made the 1st wheels in 20"...always thought it would be cool to have OG style steelies with beauty rings in 20".

ChevyBoiSS · 10-30-2008, 12:04 PM

so let me get this straight.. will you be able to sub out the RS Midnite silver for the optional polished?? The polished look a little more CHROME?

Gomerr · 10-30-2008, 09:20 PM

chevyboiss that question has been answered over 20 times.

yes

reason i know? the image above says (ss optional)...

Dom · 11-02-2008, 08:37 AM

In Camaro Wiki it says 18 x 17.5". Shouldn't that be 18x7.5"?

DZbob · 11-02-2008, 12:01 PM

As far as the 21" wheels and tires go, I ordered my 2SS last week. The dealer told me that the 21" wheels is a $5000,00 option........... How can that be????

Ordered, 2SS, Jewel Red, Polished Aluminum

Mattsack789 · 11-02-2008, 12:03 PM

Wait, why have I never even heard of the heritage wheels?

because you werent paying attention.....they are only available on the LS though

Camaro68 · 11-02-2008, 12:23 PM

for the post of wheels

Stevo · 11-02-2008, 08:34 PM

Thanks for the pics...wish I could see the car/wheels from a front/3/4 angle view to check out if the wheels fill out the wells. Nothing worse that a shy wheel with a skinny tire- think shrinkage ala Seinfeld. Ah well I'm looking to get some American Racing Torq Thrust aftermarkets -I like classics- but no way to order until I can specify the bolt pattern/offsets etc. Will I really have to wait until the car arrives to know this?!

Albion · 11-09-2008, 01:12 PM

None of those rims are a patch on the 21s on the 2-tone Grey SEMA car.IMO

Albion · 11-09-2008, 02:02 PM

Correction.Cyber Grey and White JR Special.The wheels just get better each time i look at 'em.

TaylorRyanSS · 11-12-2008, 01:33 AM

are the black wheels in the first set of pics really 21s? they look small... I am going to get 20s aftermarket but I want a thinner sidewall... I was also thinking 22s, but then I would have to lower the car because it would sit too high and I dont want it to look ghetto lol

Looks like there's around an inch to fill towards the outside of the car to make it just about flush. As for wheel well gap, anything under 20s will have mondo wheel well darkness showing - check out the GS racer on 18s. Functionality of 18s are great, but I could smuggle my grandmother in the gap that's showing on that car - yikes!

I think 21's on a lowered camaro will be just about perfect

Kahlis · 11-22-2008, 02:39 PM

20s all the way,... plus tire costs for 21s is a bit more.

jeffny09 · 12-16-2008, 06:52 AM

Ok I am looking to get black rims but every place I look cost 4gs not sure where to look any one know any sites thatll over rims and all?

Xanthos · 12-22-2008, 01:40 AM

I'm reserving judgment on the 18 inch steel wheels from the LS until I can see a photo of them. I can tell that the picture doesn't do them justice at all. Any idea which wheel they are based off of? I'm assuming they come from an older camaro - hence the "heritage" aspect? I'm leaning back and forth between those and some 18 x 8.5 torque thrusts.

BeastSS · 01-17-2009, 12:36 PM

So what are the wheels Mattsack789 is showing?

fastfret7 · 01-17-2009, 01:50 PM

the SS/RS wheels remind me to much of a Mazda RX-8 or Nissan Z wheel.... Anybody???

chevy dude · 01-17-2009, 09:43 PM

What are the standard size wheels for a 1LT/RS?...I'm not to happy with the 19" polished wheels,I see how they differ from the 20" SS wheels,looks like aftermarket wheels will be a must have for me.
