Not sure about the look of new wheels

What do you think?, I am leaning towards selling these and going back to CHROME, any takers , adding SLP springs and Swaybars Tuesday

Il be honest I am sick of the black look and so far the stock SS wheels in gloss black on a black car look best. I would sell these and powdercoat the stockers and call it a day that looks sick Check this pic out.

I hate chrome, so black all the way!! But that wheel style is a little boring imo, and they look tiny.

Agreed with 55Designs above, the factory wheels look MUCH better.

JCSSCamaro - I really like your subtle chrome rim on black spokes. Fits well with the small amount of chrome exhaust tips in back and chrome badging on front fender. I think you hit a home run. I have seen many solid black wheels and they are OK but yours are an improvement. What will help even more is to do something with the brake calipers. Red?? or Silver?? or whatever fits your personal taste. Good Luck, great looking car.

I put on the Foose Legends in a 20x9 and 20x10; took them off after less than 20 miles. It looked great in the box but put them on the car...CHEAP! I felt like I was knockin 20k off my car price; just cheap! I am 22's with a good size tire still but the 20 I'm just not diggin on these cars. From the ones I've seen its like you're rippin off the Camaro style or somethin, ya know? Its all about what you like, but personally...not diggin those

I agree to this almost any 22 will look good on the car. 20 is another story. The Factory SS wheels looks so nice because of the spoke design to the edge giving a much larger appearance. WHen you get the lip and different contrast it makes the rim look smaller and cheap.

So far the only 20 wheels I saw and think look great are expensive here you go.

1. HRE 560 series NEW
2. CCW
3. BOZE
4. Nickey Wheel
5.Forgelines depends on the style and finish

I say ignore the thread and do what you will be happy with. Some may think wheels look good/bad but its yours and its still a camaro so you still got a hot car.
