New wheel and tire shot...

Went for a cruise up to Big Sur with some other Camaros and snapped a pretty decent shot of our 2010 with the new Boze wheels and Nitto NT05 tires.

275s in the front and 315s in the rear.. I like that the NT05 tires still have some sidewall and don't look like rubber bands.

And Boze nailed the offset.. no rubbing at all and I still have a great turning radius.

Anyways, here's a little Camaro porn for you.

Love 'em! I think this style is the best looking wheel for the Camaro! Do they come in black centers and polished rims?

Just a little.. it's the DSE kit. About an inch to an inch and a half.

It's nice because the car is still drivable over bumps and up driveways. Drops it just enough to close up the wheel gap.

I'm sure they come in any color/finish combo you could think of. Most three piece wheels do.

The centers on these are brushed and clear coated. They also have cool textured medium gray that we were going to use.

Yep.. 20x10 in the rear and I think 20x9.5 up front, but you would have to call Boze up to get the exact size and backspace.

Car looks great Steve. Curious, but why didn't you guys go with the flat centercaps?

Actually I have a set of brushed flat caps but haven't swapped them out yet. These were experimental hex caps by Boze that they wanted to try. Some like them, some not... I think they are a bit clunky.

They are "scaling them down" a bit, but I still prefer their simple flat (dome) caps.

I also like how they do the air valve through one of the wheel's bolt holes.. very clean.

Here's more of a side shot.. I much prefer the taller sidewall.
