ok so im lookin at the pricing for options, and i see that the 21" wheels are slightly more than $4,000 with tires. are you kidding me? ive currently got 24" wheels on low profile tires and i havent spent half that much. Whats the deal?

Yea they've definately bumped thier damn head for sure....THAT price WILL come down in due time.The Camaro has alway's been a bluecollar American car,so for the few that will be able to afford a set........well good for you!

Well crack was a while back, after all the cut backs they are now sniffing glue!

They want you to pay 4k for 1" of bigger wheels but to adorn your Brembo brakes with cheap rim balancers is free! I Really don't understand why this company is in trouble do you?

Get aftermarket wheels.

Thin tires ride hard and are not practical for daily drivers.

There should be ZERO complaint here about GM your lucky they even offer them. Those tires are not exactly cheap. Not to mention a pain in the ass to bead.

I wouldn't exactly describe high-polish chrome as the wheel style of the blue collar American. It makes sense to charge more for a product that represents a higher standard of quality than that of most aftermarket rims. The price is definitely too steep, but I wouldn't expect it to be cheaper than most aftermarket rims. I also wouldn't expect it to go careening off the car at high speeds. :seesaw:
