Victory Red on 22 inch

Hi guys,

Thought most of you would enjoy these pictures I snapped this afternoon of a New Orleans delivered pre-order visiting
Houston TX Chevrolet dealer Norman Frede just off of I45 South around the time of their 2010 Camaro unveiling.
For me, this gentleman stole the show and I considered myself lucky to be waiting outside as he didn't stick around for that long.

It's a 1LT RS in Victory Red riding on 22 inch rims.

Tire sizes I noted were 285/30-22 rear and 265/30-22 front Goodyear Wrangler F1 which had a great looking tread
pattern but seem an odd choice as they are truck tires!

According the owner the rims were standard offset (forgot to ask rim width) and the car was lowered about an inch all
around, 24 inch on the rear should also fit with a lower profile according to him...
I commented that would look funny and couldn't be very comfortable around here or on Louisiana roads.

I thought the rims were an excellent choice and I sincerely hope that America is finally moving away from those
god awfull cheap looking wildly designed badly chromed hiphop gangster rims.
And yes the Z28 badges are FAKE.
Well, enjoy the pictures!

I don't like how they are painted white though... white wheels only look good on white cars IMO

+ 1

Black out the center with a polished lip then get rid of the fake Z28 badges and I might just like it
