Could someone post of a video of their 21's for me, so that i could get a good look at em.

Thanks
When Pete and I went to Milford to help GM, the security was significant and what I saw I was sworn to confidentiality!. I seriously respect that. So I do not have pictures of the car, but thousands have seen it because the black SS Camaro that GM shows off is seen all over the country.

Saw one today at a local dealer. Red Jewel coat. I wasn't impressed for $4,300. You could do a lot better for the price.

Heck after the dealer was done with it, he was saying it would be around the 48 hundred mark.. sounds like i might be rounding some up for a around 3 thouand though. i could probably live with that.

If you want to go with 21's that one thing. but, If you stay with 20's you can put your factory tires on some mean ass rims for that kind of money. I like a deep looking rims on thease cars because I'm old school, like foose nitrous. But, It's your car and it's got make you and only you happy.

I understand what you're saying, and part of me really wants to stay with the 20's just to the fact that im afraid the 21's are gonna be "to much rim and not enough tire" i've never had 20's or 21's on any of my cars. I would love to go with the 21's just to the fact its something that stands out from the rest, something that not everyone has. And the other half of me is saying more the 20's with that extra inch of tire would help the appeal of a "muscle car." Moneys not really that big of an issue for me right now so im willing to pay. But just with your personall incounters with the diff. Rim sizes any personal opinions?

Thanks

On a muscle car I think it looks better with more tire with aleast a wider back tire and rim. Ya know tuners and ying yangs look better with taller rims. To me it's all about filling up the wheel well on a car. In most cases a larger rim will hurt ride and performance also. More rotating mass, low profile tires.
Like I said before you do what you like. Some guys love those factory rims.
One thing for me, I'm a chrome guy when it comes to wheels and that's one of the reasons those wheels don't appeal to me.

So i take it you'd probably be more of the polished 20's kind of guy

I like them better then the $4,300 rims for looks, but I'm with you, there like butholes everyone will have them. I'm going to upgrade to a chrome rim.
I want to get foose nitrious rims If they make them for that car. I had them on a 05 mustang gt and they looked mean. Everybody in my town went nuts over that car and thats all I did to it. (well, also slp loud mouth exhaust)

by the way I took note that your getting black. Black and chrome go great together. Very old school muscle car.

If I had my choice, I would work withh a wheel company to get a 295-20 wheel front and rear.

We think this wil be the optimum in handling. Addng split configurated wheels will add to understeer in ALL cases
