I was checking them out the same night you went. (BTW, nice talking to you) and I agree I liked them much better than the Midnight Silver ones on the other two Camaro's which were roped off.

The wife didn't care for the open look and thinks the wheels should cover the brakes up. I was telling her about the ones I believe CamaroScotty said he was thinking about which you could drive down the road and take a pic of someone and load it up on your wheel covers. Those would have been cool also.

A HUGE +1 on the LS7 wheels!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got back from the Dallas auto show and my wife made a comment that the LS7 looked wider than the other SS. The result was that the rear wheels gave the Camaro a much more agressive stance than stock. Pictures of the LS7 do not do it any justice AT ALL.

If GM doesn't make them, then I will have to find something that I like and will allow me to put:

255 40 ZR20 on the front
305 35 ZR20 on the back

I asked the GM rep. what I can do to get those wheels and he told me to go to the GM website and let them know that I liked those wheels and that I wish they would make them available to the public.

I would gladly pay extra for the LS7 rims. I've been saying this for the past month. Now, let's do the math. If just the 600 SS ordered already decided to pay for them, then add up all that extra money (600 x $4,000 = $2,400,000). This would create a win-win situation. Camaro owners would think they're in heaven, and GM would get some much needed extra cash. That would really off-set labor costs.

Let's hope the Marketing Department reads this one. Marketing 101 rule #1: find a need and fill it. My left hand is on my checkbook and my right hand is on the phone ready to speed dial my dealership.

Oh hell yeah! If GM doesn't make it I hope someone else will

*The_Blur* · 02-21-2009, 11:55 PM

I want them to be on the streets. They're beautiful.

Nickdago · 02-22-2009, 12:31 AM

I do not really like them. Would like to see something more like the Z06 wheel or ZR1 wheel

zebra · 02-22-2009, 12:33 AM

it'd sure make it easier to slap some 295s one the back, but i'd never pay $4000 for them. i was actually planning on seeing if the C6 Z06 wheels would fit on mine! (since the 18s are looking like less of a possibility on account of the huge calipers)

*TAG UR IT* · 02-22-2009, 03:43 AM

Love'em

Camaro68 · 02-22-2009, 04:39 AM

They are really

I would fork out the money for them.

Codefive · 02-22-2009, 08:48 AM

I have wanted those wheels since I first saw them at SEMA!
I would love to have those wheels on the car over whats offered.
But I dont think I could justify $4K for a wheel that most likely dosnt cost any more to make (same size and similar design) Its more of a principle thing to me. I would gladly pay more but ... with in reason.

Shifty 6 · 02-22-2009, 05:30 PM

I love the wheels, they look a little more dished than the 20". But, there is no way I would pay $4000 for them. If they were like $300 more I would consider it. I'll be shocked if they sell a lot of the 21" wheels at $4k a set. You need to really like huge wheels and rubber bands.

chadrcr · 02-22-2009, 05:40 PM

They are good for an option, I will not be paying for any of the $4k + options...
