Love it. Forgestar 14s, right? Not seeing Forgestar at Whiteside now though.
What tire sizes?
And, did you cut off the roller skates or run different pads?

+1 on tire sizes. Love the stance. How much is it lowered. I don't think these are F14s. F14 have 14 spokes, these have 16. I think these are Whiteside Customs wheels from here. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154699

Thanks Sleepy... ya, first glance to me they look a lot alike.

I'm not a fan of a lot of sidewall, but that stance with the aggressive look of the tires appearing to go just slightly past the fenders looks awesome.

Thanks! They aren't Forgestars. I'm running a 295/45 up front and 305/45 in the rear. I didn't have the roller skates and these wheels clear my Brembos just fine. Just give Whiteside a PM. You'll find that Mike is very helpful.

Here is the link to the thread where I found these wheels. Good luck in your search.

Thanks!! I appreciate the compliment.

I know many people here don't like a lot of sidewall, but I like the look of the meaty tires. I will say that I was worried about whether or not I'd like them once I ordered, but knew I'd made the right choice upon seeing them for the first time.

I have to say, even though I'm biased, I think they look excellent!

That's how a muscle car should look. I've NEVER understood this large rim, low profile look. Different strokes I guess, but not for me.

That red Camaro looks outstanding, especially the 3/4 rear shot. The 18's are perfect. Still deciding on the F-14's as I'm not crazy about them but at least you can run 18's with the Brembos.
