I like 'em.

Better if the center caps were just round buttons without the star burst effect.

baranowski 07-01-2011 01:53 PM

I am not big on 22" wheels for the camaro. Those look like the style of old Shelby cobra and Gt40 wheels.

That being said.... I like them.

Classy old' school. Very nice.

eggydoo 07-01-2011 01:55 PM

:thumbup: for me...
I agree with the 2nd post though...i think it would look even better without the star in the middle...or if it was same color.

Texas2SS 07-01-2011 01:56 PM

Don't like the center caps but like the wheels.

Overflow 07-01-2011 01:58 PM

Center caps; Nay.
Rims; Yay.

blazzin1 07-01-2011 01:59 PM

Love 'em, even like the center caps too!!! I wonder if the 20" version is available yet???

chandler 07-01-2011 02:00 PM

Same here...the wheels look great but not lovin the center cap.

bhall82 07-01-2011 02:05 PM

Thanks. I kinda like the "spinner" effect gives it that old school replica look. Im undecided between these and D2 forged. I had these sent to me as demo. Soo I dunno

senoner 07-01-2011 02:06 PM

I agree, Yay on the rims nay on the center caps

camaroitalia 07-01-2011 02:09 PM

Well, if you decide that you DON'T like them, and want to sell them.......LET ME KNOW!!!

bhall82 07-01-2011 03:05 PM

10-4 Yes sir. I will

Bobbyosto 07-01-2011 03:30 PM

Nay

suplex 07-01-2011 05:46 PM

The style of them?...Yes, I love them.

The size of them?...No, I don't like large wheels because the tires are way too expensive and not as long lasting or reliable as smaller ones.

When I bought my 1LT, I didn't want the RS package on purpose because it had 20" wheels, I got it with 18" wheels instead.

Just my opinion about not liking large wheels (because of the tires you have to use), but the wheels themselves are great...good luck with them.

GEEo 07-01-2011 05:52 PM

That looks awesome bro!!

More Pics!! :D

I love those wheels. They were on a flat grey Camaro at SEMA. I think the size is perfect, but a normal center cap would look better imo.

Kinetic Kev HWSE 2013 07-01-2011 06:53 PM

Keep the ones you have Taylor they look sweet on your ride

Rogey89 07-01-2011 08:33 PM

Love em.... But want better pics!

Ringo 07-01-2011 08:56 PM

Kinda cool, but the Spartacus spinners gotta go!

rowerybo 07-01-2011 08:58 PM

nah

22's are just ridiculously too big.
Needs 18's or absolutely no larger than 20's.
But the design is okay and the deep dish is okay.
Even the spinner would look good if it were smaller and had three points...or no points at all.

SlowSS 07-01-2011 10:43 PM

Looks great, but I'm with most...I think plain center caps would look a little better.

With that said its your ride....do as you please :D

whamslam3 07-02-2011 03:24 AM

there are ok but i dont like that center cap thing

So the wheels in my signature look too big?

I thinks so yes.
But aesthetics are subjective. Personally, I don't care for contemporary style wheels on a retro designed car. There's a clash of themes there.
But it's your ride, and if you like it then that's what matters. You'll get a lot of different opinions depending on who you ask.
The 18's on my car are not popular at all, but it's exactly what I wanted. I wanted the lightest wheel/tire package possible. I actually like being able to rotate my tires from time to time. But, they're still not popular. You have to suit yourself.

Maro10SS 07-02-2011 07:11 PM

Bhall82, They look awesome man! I have the same ones on mine but in chrome, pay no attention to all the haters, I had alot of that too. I know for a fact these wheels are bad a$$, on the streets I've gotten nothing but compliments and I love the center spinner piece ( it's not a cap) which gives it a retro look , I chose these wheels because of the retro/modern look they give the car especially since our car is retro to the 67-69 classics.

supercharge 07-15-2011 05:08 PM

nah

Speeddesignz 07-15-2011 05:27 PM

nah for a Camaro

Yay for a Mustang

626ortiz 07-15-2011 10:42 PM

like maross10 said i have the same ones and its not a center cap its part of the rim and it doesnt stick out like the old spinners did. looks great man

Shock Em 07-15-2011 11:39 PM

22 are the perfect size for 5th gens IMO (as far as looks go)

scottyvegas 07-20-2011 01:42 PM

LOVE THE SPINNER! LOOKS GREAT!

CAMARO-ECSTASY 07-20-2011 02:44 PM

i think they look cool :headbang:

robertgss3 07-20-2011 03:27 PM

I took my 22's off and went back to 20's, smoother ride and better handling IMO.

camaro5grey 07-21-2011 08:12 PM

negative on my end

cajun2010 07-21-2011 09:05 PM

i like em!!
