check out my camaro. New to camaro5

im new to this website. i just got my car about 3 months ago. its nothing special. its a ls model 6 speed manual. im 17 years old and my dad bought it for me. i paid for the rims the foglights and the blacked out bowties. the rims are 22inch black and machined irocs. honestly i would like to purchase the blacked out zl1 rims. tell me what you guys would think of me changing to all black rims or should i stick with the irocs and also should i tint the taillights and any other visual upgrades that i should make
pics of my car should be below!

welcome, your Camaro looks great, I would keep the wheels just the way they are, all black takes away from the look.

Congrats young man! Enjoy your car, thank you dad...looks great. IMHO, go blacked out wheels. Iroc's look good, but blacked out would be badass! Don't tint the tail lights, that's asking for trouble. LED side markers are something you could do.

Congratz looks real good. Im switching to Matte Gunmetal TSW Nurburgring wheels and they are pretty much black. I don't care too much for chrome or anything along the lines of that so that is why i went with black.

Looks good. I just can't get behind those rims. IMO you should go for the all black wheels but stay with 20" IMO 22" is just too big for these cars.
