I think I'm the first with these wheels? PICS

I decided to go with the Ruff Racing 943 and the Continental Extreme Contact.
20X8.5-20mm and 20X10-45mm
275-40 front and 315-35 rear.

I like them but not getting the WOW feeling Maybe I need some more time with them?
They fit great with no rub and the Conti's feel nice and are not as harsh on the bumps.

The first two pics are side to side to compare both looks with simular pictures.It is amazing to me how good GM got the look of the factory wheels.It,to me, is difficult to improve the look of them.

What do you guys think of these wheels on a black Camaro?
There are no pics anywhere showing them mounted on a 5th Gen.It's make it tuff buying of the internet without examples and of course seeing them in person is always the best.

Kudos to Jon at Best Wheel Deals.Great Service

No,
The roller skates were close on the front,but would have worked.
I changed to Hawk ceramics before the install.I couldn't deal with the dust as these wheels will take more effort to clean.

My suggestion would be to have a silver pinstripe or hockey stripe or something like that going the length of the vehicle, in the same color as your grill inserts. The rims look great, but it feels like the rims have a "silver accented lines backed up with black" where your vehicle is pretty much black with just a few silver accents here and there.

Something like this:


Would at least for me tie the whole package together aesthetically. Just something to think about.

I think they look great on your car. These pictures don't compare to seeing them in person. Of all the wheels out there I think these really go good with the other things already on your car and you color/design choices so far.

Yea,I know.
I just can't put my finger on it.
It needs something to carry the theme
