I definitely agree. The Hurst Stunners look pretty darn good, particularly on a black car

I don't understand. Beautiful wheels but... "Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the VN327 Rally fits your Camaro" is the message I get when requesting "Preview this on your vehicle".

So I've recently decided to 'spruce up' my Gen 5 2SS. I want to go with sort of a 'classic' look since this model sort of resembles the late 1960's Camaros.

First off and the most important, I've looked up pictures of what came stock on the 1968 Camaro 'sort of the filled in rims with slits' but I'm not seeing anything like these and I've browsed thousands of rims. Does anyone know if a company specifically makes retro rims for newer Camaros? If so, does anyone know which company/companies?

Last I want to replace the kind of square lettered 'Camaro' letters on the fenders of my car with the classic 'cursive' Camaro badge. Does anyone know if this is possible without having to get body work done to fill in the holes of the previous letters? Or are these retro badges made to fit the existing holes that house the current Camaro letters?

Thanks,
We offer a number of retro-styled Hurst Wheels that are based on popular wheels from the 60's and 70's. You may want to take a look at the Hurst "Dazzler" wheel, it looks similar to the SS 396 wheel from the same time frame.



If interested please contact our friends over at Vision Wheels for additional styles and fitment options for your Camaro.

Those are silver stripes.

Anybody replaced the 'Camaro' fender emblems with retros? I'm thinking about doing that; I had a '76 Camaro when I was in high school that had the cursive 'Camaro' emblem, and those emblems on my '15 SS would really take me back. Seems like it wouldn't get folks' hackles up either since the 5th-gen Camaro looks similar to the 1st-gen. Thoughts?

Whatever you prefer, other people don't have to like it. It's your car. They even have stick on chrome front and rear bumpers. I considered them but to me they and the stick on chrome mirror covers looked too stick-on for my personal taste.
Retro SS emblems are very popular and if I had an SS for sure I'd have them. I thought about putting them on my car but it would look odd unless I peeled off the ZL1 emblems and that would be unusual to rebadge to a lower model.

I got my "Old School" emblems from Amazon. I bought 3. I put one on each side and one on the dashboard. I think that I paid 50 dollars for all three. I took this picture after installing my Ikon rockers. Don't have "Old School" rims though. Not in the budget. lol The emblems already had the 3M tape already on them.

I like the Rally wheels and had them on several different cars, but don't really care for them on the 5th gen. I think the 5th gen looks much better with a spoke style wheel.
