Yep. Looks like crap. Probably rides like crap too with those rubberband tires. He'll probably have hydraulics and sidepipes installed next.

You know, with the money he spent on those butt ugly rims, he probably could have afforded the actual RS package instead of just a sticker

(Nice job on the fitment though)

I really thought it would take a full year for someone to TRULY ruin a camaro. I was dead wrong, as it only took about 3 months

I hear the displeasure with the design and oversizing. This is what the customer wanted and stepped up to pay for them as well. Open minded individuals would say "to each, his own" as I did. My post was to let you know what can be done realistically, not some pretty picutre of a fantasy wheel like other companies. The combination of a high offset and big brakes will not allow for a super deep lip with out using a forging that has a steep convex angle or the basketball shape (which no one likes). I'm just tryin to keep it real.

I hear the cry for the LS7 design and will design something similar. I already have a stock of concave forgings in 20" 22" and 24" available and will try and develop a concave fitment. Stay tuned.....

Here's the 20". I have the convex forgings in the background so you see the concavity. The shape plus the big brakes will cause the fitment to have almost no lip.

i like the wheels combo desigions(24 and 22) but wrong wheels. i had those on my escalade a while back. i would have gone with something like a 5 bar in a 24 and 22.

It's interesting to see the H8ters come out of the wood work when someone does something they want that's different. Especially since I see no one here bitching about how they gave this guy the money to do this to HIS CAMARO. I've even ordered a set of Rims for MY CAMARO too. I thought this was about doing your thing with YOUR CAMARO.
