this is the lowest trim, base model. it's the camaro equivalent to a malibu with hubcaps except these wheels were designed to be a little better than that.

Wheels tend to show your hand...Widen the steelies and put fat meat on them...Maybe even put the LS nose on an SS...A few more choice items and you have a nice sleeper!

You-"Aww what a cute LS...Let's show him how it's done"
Me- WHOOOOSH right by yer a$$
You-"WHAT THE #*$@ WAS THAT??? That ain't no LS!"

I think they look great now that I've got to see them up close.. Just my opinion..As for the dealers, I think most will be ordering cars for the showroom that don't have these wheels simply to appeal to the masses.. But who knows..

Josh @TestTrack, thanks for the update. Hopefully, the Camaro will be there for a while especially now that GM has pushed the debut to March 16th instead of Feb 16th. This will give more folks a chance to see the car in person even though it's a base model.

They ARE cheap. It's all part of the plan to make the base level model affordable to the masses. For buyers with money left over, there will be lots of wheel choices.

So the real question is what type of finance related emergency can I come up with to convince the boss to send me (the intern) to World? Hmm, this could be tough...

Aqua Blue is the best! These rims look great for steelies! Sure beats ANY OTHER steelie i've ever seen on a car! The LS isn't for me, but would make a great DD! Then the SS Vert for weekends...
