Spare Tire and Painted Wheels Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

jmcbeth · 02-05-2009, 02:28 PM

I ordered the 2SS with manual transmission, RS option, sunroof, Bose audio system. My order printout lists two things that puzzled me:

1. Spare Tire delete. I didn't explicitly ask to have the spare tire deleted. What does this mean? Am I getting NO spare tire, or a space saver spare tire? Which option I chose deleted the spare tire and what is the rationale?

2. If you ordered the RS option, you could only get the painted wheels. Again, does anyone understand why?

Thanks!

no spare for the ss, since the size of the brakes would dictate a full size spare tire, and a full size tire wouldn't fit in there right with out taking up the trunk space and would add about another 60LBS for a full size tire. Montrose

1. Spare Tire Delete is standard. . . you have to pay extra for the spare. . Stock comes with a compressor and fix kit.

2. The RS option comes standard with the painted Midnight Silver Wheels. . . . You can opt out for the polished wheels for an extra cost.

Got it. Makes sense on the spare.

Didn't see a way to add the polished wheels. Will go back to dealer...

Thanks for your help!
