IROC Wheels on 5th Gen - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This wheel size argument has been going on since I joined this forum and I'm sure it will go on long after I'm gone. The part I can't wrap my mind around is why so many seem to have such strong feelings about what others do to their own cars. Some of us simply want a good looking or show car that isn't intended to race. I personally hate hood stripes, so I don't go into threads about stripes. Why do people keep popping up in threads about mods they dislike? It's like going to Olive Garden when you know you hate italian food.

This is where I start to draw the line. I mean do what you want to your car, but this thing is about to go offroad.

20s don't even belong on trucks

but there are many who believe form should follow function, and you should just use the best-looking of whatever makes the car drive better

Its funny, If you have to go from one end of the spectrum, race/drag cars on side and Donks being the polar opposite, I can appreciate both. While I may choose to go a different direction for my car, i can look at a guy that has some enlarged diameter wheel and look for the details, the refined work, the commitment to that style and appreciate it. I can also take a look at a car that has a couple side vents stuck on from Autozone that are all crooked and I just shake my head...Were all car guys, lets agree on that. Let the politicians pick each other a part, they are good at it, us car guys need to stick together!

If "Donk" is what you're aiming for then you hit it straight on the head. Not my thing.....
