Leave them alone IMO its the 45th thus its history. Should remain OEM spec completely. If you had a "normal" gen 5 yes do what ever. But to respect the camaro and its history leave it OEM my .02 cents

He can do what he wants...his car.

I own a rare truck. Under 3000 produced. Ive modded the shit outta due to the fact that's what I wanted to do to it. Is it worth less than a perfect untouched version....probably so, but I could care less. Ive driven the truck all around FL, from FL to KC twice as well as all around the southeast going to meets and shows. Bought with 14,500 miles on it in 1998, it now sits with 78k on it...some of those seriously hard miles with plenty of breakages and flatbed tows. I didnt buy the truck to preserve it, I bought it to have fun.

I understand that and why i stated IMO (In My Option) people can do what ever they like to there cars. I am not here to judge anyone but if you post a poll WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!. I will give my .02 cents

IMO I would just buy another set of rims and leave the stocks alone. Hold on to them they will have value in the future. Just my thoughts.

A red pinstripe would look good and tie in the red on the stripe

daveagogo1 · 08-20-2011, 09:07 PM

pick up a set of 20 take offs and paint those. Save your 45th wheels for later on.

I looked at those rims today on a carbon flash 45th. Salesman was trying to get me to trade my 2011 in on it. Those are nasty looking rims the way they are now. Either get them chromed or better yet the black chrome looks pretty good. Don't pay any attention to the "got to leave it alone" stuff. Ugly is ugly and those stock rims are ugly.

RichGreene · 08-20-2011, 09:21 PM

I agree Id do something to make it different. From what Im seeing theres going to be a lot of 45s running around,as Chevy isnt limiting production #s.

whamslam3 · 08-21-2011, 12:23 AM

it would look cool black or matching, but only do it if you plan on keeping the car. otherwise, keep it stock cuz its the 45th ann.
