Those came out nice SW. I would have liked to see a little more of the shiny lip on the rear wheels. The photoshops of their 3-piece wheels shows that outer mounting ring pushed back mid-wheel, with just the spokes reaching the edge.

These give your Camaro a very Euro look. A sophisticated Camaro! Still on the fence about putting a set on my Viper. I want to see a deep lip on the rear and a deep concave face on the rear.

I finally figured out why it looks funny. You're rear tire is .6" shorter than stock and your front tire is a full 1" shorter than stock. While the drop helps, if you went up a notch on the aspect ratios it might fill out the wheel wells better. Plus the rubber band tires just don't do much for the car.

UsedTaHaveA68, they really look good inperson, I don't like big thick tires on 22's..

I have some 315/25/22s and 265/30/22s coming, should be a little taller..

PLEASE let me know how those bigger tires fit if you have any rubbing issues or not. And also please post pics of the car slammed and how it drives. I' planning on putting 22's on my car and slamming it down with Pedders Coil overs so I am very interested on how your car works out. Thanks!

By the way, your car looks killer! I'm ordering a black on black 2SS and plan on putting a ProCharger and some Billet Specialties Polished rims

Looks very good. Kind of a subtle look, like it could've come that way stock.

I'm not a guy who is against big wheels, but those spokes could use a little more volume. I like the concept it just needs to stand out. For a second I thought those were LS wheels. Good idea, just one minor issue.

Hey SW-

Good to see you over on this site...

How deep is the concave between the center cap to the outer edge of the wheel? 3", 4". Hard to tell by the pics.


Take Care Buddy.
