Got my new Iconz wheels mounted!!

Iconz 630ZR brushed center w/chrome lip 20x8.5 fr and 20x10 rear, stock rubber, planning to lower 1" this winter when I do engine and brake mods. Phone camera pics after it rained last night so not the best quality. Willl post better pics in wheel gallery after clean up this weekend. What ya think?

Nice wheel design. I'm thinking 22s might have been more proportionate for the Camaro. These cars look kind of obese on a thin-spoke 20.

Still much better than stock though!

Point taken Not much of a fan on the larger wheels generally and planning on installing a maggie this winter so would rather stay with 20's for performance purposes. I think lowering it 1" will improve thw look also.

Thanks for comments.

Lowering will improve the visual balance 10x easily. Those fender-to-tire gaps visually make a wheel look smaller too.

I feel the same way. 22'' wheels will have a negative effect on performance (even if they're light weight).

But they do look good.

I'm thinking about some light weight 20'' wheels and a 1'' lowering.

Thanks, and I'll do the same when in your area. I'm one of those guys that goes nuts when I spot another 5th gen!

I'm the same way. Wife thinks I'm a child when I spot one and get all excited! She might be right.
