Rodgers is really nice but nothing I would do to mine. Just like one person commented, it's funny how much it pisses people off because it's not your car lol. The Huge Wheel Epidemic can be spotted on all cars and that's a fact. Saw 1 chick with one of the sickest color camaros ever, it was some type of candy hemi orange with a hint of yellow in it and the interior trim, doors etc was painted the same color! Looked like glass and a beautiful color with a think 30inch floaters with the matching dust plate and would have been super clean if they were 22s or 24s instead. It's crazy because that paintjob including the interior had to be around $6000 and those floaters around $15,000 probably more, not to mention the extra $3000 plus that will go towards a sound system! That is ZL1 Money!!!! People do what they want in the Land of the free and Stupid lol. I see a lot of very tasteful Camaro5 with the only problem being those too big wheels!

In order to get those on they have to cut the wheel well and lift the shocks with a spacer (that's how it's done in the hood). Gas mileage is horrible/ will need new suspension in a year or 2/ new trans in a year or 2 etc.
THAt is alot of strain and stress on the suspension and transmission but those type of customers don't care. It's 100% Look Over Function and I can go on and on about this matter but it won't make a change because that style is here to stay and will only get worse lol!

I know it's "their car" but...yeah, it pisses me off to the point I no longer enjoy my car. I know, that's "my problem", but there is such an epidemic of this rubbish around here that, well...the Camaro is becoming typecast as a different sort of car, with a different sort of owner, and folks like me are starting not to fit in.

There is a difference between doing a nice set of rims that matches a paint theme as in rodgers case or lebrons white SS with the 24's and the 30+" rims that are all chromed out and make the car look like a lifted SUV or truck is just dumb in my opinion. That being said we are all entitled to our own opinion and I'm gonna do what makes me happy and these guys will keep doing what makes them happy.

Just in Bradenton I've seen an IOM on 28's, a SW on 30's, a synergy green on some huge rims, and a custom-painted pink one on 30's. They're all v6's, too, of course. My friend just uploaded a picture to facebook of a chromed-up Camaro with floaters. I've seen dominique rodgers around here a few times too, in his cotton-candy camaro. Honestly dominiques I dont think is too bad, its out-there, but it isnt 5 feet in the air. The color scheme actually works, atleast

WHY IS THE CAMARO SUBJECT TO THIS TERRIBLE FATE? WHY COULDNT IT BE THE MUSTANGS OR THE CHALLENGERS

The one my friend saw:

How to ruin a Camaro in two easy lessons. They "aint" just ugly, they are yoogalee!!!

Its the fact that he said the project is complete when the car is missing the dash and several large patches of paint that makes me want to cry. We need some kind of camaro cop that makes sure such crimes are not committed against this car. Any volunteers?

These cars make me wanna puke. If I was a cop I would find a reason to search every "donked" car that I saw. We all know that someone with that little taste and that ghetto most likely does not hold a legal job that would allow him/her to afford that car. Call it profiling, call it what you want, I call it the sad truth.

Seriously, other than rappers and athletes, have you ever seen someone with a legitimate job driving a expensive donk. I'm not talking about the dumb A$$es in the skiddles or jolly rancher 95 impala or crown vic. I'm talking about the 50K car on 30's and candy apple paint jobs. Have you ever pulled into a corporate parking lot and seen a donk? I haven't...stereotypes exist for a reason...
