Plus, I don't think that you will get very good traction or handling with that no-profile tire!
The ones you are referring to were actually 18" and they were on the 10-12 1LT non RS. I like them because they remind me of the IROC wheels back in the 80's

I was under the mistaken impression that the Heritage wheels were the only 18" and these were 19", but I stand corrected! I wasn't certain if the design changed in 2012 or not, so excluded that year.

But yup - these were what I was referring to:

Thanks for the responses. Not offended. That's why I asked for input. It's hard to beat the OEM SS 2010-12 wheels.

I didn't do anything this weekend. Wanted to install my CAI but for lazy. Should report myself to CPS (camaro protection services) the neglect should not be tolerated but monitored.

Over the weekend I slowly applied dynamat to my whole trunk, also some on the license plates and frame. I probably covered 90% of the trunk in the end using up all my dynamat.

I do notice a big improvement in my subs, tighter sounding bass and just overall improved the quality of the music. Not much rattle going on either.

You missed the steering wheel bowtie though. Black or red.

I did the same thing Saturday. Only did not get around to the license plate and I still have lots of Dynamat left. Doors are my next project.

How many cuts you leave with? I got one on my finger, couldnt even feel it slice me! lol

Yes doors will be next when I replace those speakers. Did you cover a majority of your trunk also?

Call me old school, but I like a little more rubber. The wheels are nice.
