Well not quite Pete..............22''x 11.5'' rear 22''x9''frt. AXIOM Forged for show,
a Weld wheel drag pkg. and another wheel set for road racing/autoX.

Phew!! thank god! Hate to see a fabulous car like the one your building and end up with Donk wheels on it, not that it's a bad thing, but I personally don't like anything over 22" on the Camaro. It starts to look disproportionate and distracts from the overall appearance of the car.

If it wasn't for the poor 21" tire choices it would have 21"ers.
Wait till you guys see the wheels, something really new from Axiom a well
known high end wheel company. they cater mostly to exotics.......i'm trying elevate
the Camaro to that exotic level.

If they are anything like the wheels below on your last 1000 HP Camaro build, then you've already brought-it

With the right interior mods and those bling bling door handles the Camaro is actually a frugal exoctic muscle car.

RBD · 09-09-2012, 04:21 PM

Yup......they have the handles in power coated black too for less bling or to match if you have black wheels like a lot of guys do.

2001ragtop · 09-11-2012, 09:50 AM

looking forward to more too

Drove the car home from Jannetty's about 950 miles. At 75mph it averaged
22 mpgs. Making just short of 700hp at the tire. Ted was unable to fine tune it due to issues with the 2013 computer which are being worked out . Was a
little rich down low and lean on the top end. Mileage and power will go up once the 2013 computer is figured out. Here is a picture of Ted and I, one of the master at work and the car on the SuperFlow Dyno.

The combo works amazing, Centerforce clutch is flawless, the DSS driveshaft
and axle have no vibration. Ted verified it up to 160mph on the dyno.
Good stuff !

Now taking the car apart to get it ready for paint.
