They just don't look right at all IMO, totally ruins the look of the car....... I'm glad I have already seen an LT and SS in person and can see past the wheels. If this was my first time seeing the car in person, I don't know if I would be overly impressed. I know its a base model, but damn they could have done better than that......Hell, I would take salad shooters over those things

The good news is my 1SS/RS won't have them.......

At least it dosen't have dog dish hubcaps like the 69 Base and Copo came with....
Um, I like those better than the steelies on the 5th gen.

They should've had an RS equipped car there..... The general public who has never seen this car might get a bad impression seeing those wheels. I don't like them at all. I'm sure some do, but to each their own.

Guys please remember that this is still a preproduction model and they have made some changes, mostly interior, so we dont know if these wheels will come out for sure.

I will try and take more pictures when i go back to work after Christmas. ToddyC when you come in I can take pictures of the front and rear for you as the stage kinda restricts all angles for pictures from where the guests can stand. I cant take them on my phone or own camera in costume per Disney policy, but i can take them for a guest

Its actually not on one of the turn tables.. Once you get off the ride and walk into the show room its on display off to the right. Its a permanent display for better viewing rather than the 30 or so seconds the turntables allow.

Well we're actually just happy we got one in at all, so beggars cant be chosers. If it was up to me it would be a Rally Yellow 2SS/RS, maybe with the high wing on it and the rally stripes. We're just lucky we got one at all.

The gas cap is actually plastic and the rear quarter panel is metal so the pain set differently on each material. To my knowledge they have fixed that and the paint will match in the production vehicles.

P.S. if you want to see the Camaro without/before going on the ride, just walk in through the gift shop into the show room and then get in line after you wet yourself

Geez, and to think - I thought they were kidding about the old-skewl steel rally-style wheels....they WERENT!!!


Awesome!!!!!

One more choice for the true track gear-heads to set their 'Maro apart from the others.

GM has (almost) ALL the bases covered with this thing!!

I hope they sell "Billions" of them!!!



Ya, it's old and tired. but........nobody ever accused me of having taste, or relevance.

Its on my rescue squads 2006 GMC C5500 4x4 rescue truck. Its a color that has been with my squad for 55 years. Ill try to post a pic of my rescue truck so yall know what I'm talking about..

That steelie could be a lot uglier. I'm pretty happy with it.

Car looks great. Although the wheels aren't for me, I think they look good for a base car and I can appreciate the look they were going for. I guess I'm making a trip to Orlando this weekend!
