I have a 2011 2LT RS yellow camaro with black racing stripes. For christmas I am wanting black rims plus some accessories. I cannot decide whether i want to purchase matte black rims or gloss black rims or just powder coat my stock rims matte black or gloss black. I am looking for pictures of either please! Also I have a few random questions.

1.) What color are the black racing stripes?
I have seen a few people with matte black racing stripes which would go great with rims.

2.) Anyone have some good LED interior lights?

I would also love to see pictures of the yellow interior trim kit as well as anyone with smoked out tail lights and headlights.

PLEASE HELP THANK YOU!

IMO gloss black wheels always look best on yellow unless you are doing a three piece where you can have a matte face and gloss lip. What size wheels are you looking to get 20, 21, 22". There are so many choices, also what is your price range, that's another biggie.

If i were to buy new ones, they would be replica alloy rims (20's) so i can keep my tires (my car is fairly new). So in that case, new matte black rims and just powder coating my stock rims would be fairly identical. Would their be any visual differences between the two? Would powder coating fade or scratch off if they hit a curb? (17 year old crazy driver haha) and what exactly is the IMO rims you are speaking of?

Anything will be affected by hitting a curb, powdercoat, paint, chrome. There would be zero visual difference, becasue that's what the reproductions will use.

IMO= In my opinion, it's not a brand.

You can get many different types of wheels that fit the stock tires, not just reproductions. One of my favorites in that size is the IVS Havoc in Black Chrome. I am partial to 22s, but understnad you wanting to keep the stock tires. Hope this helped.

If you like the stock wheels and just want them black try plastidip first to make sure then have them powdercoated.
