Fell in love with an LS!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I hadn't even considered an LS cause I like gadgets and whatnot but WOW!!! I was one at the dealer this weekend. Oddly enough it just looked more proportioned with I dunno 16 or so " wheels. My dad had a 69 Maro, and it was much more like it than the 2SS RS. It even had Heartbeat of America embroidered on the seat. Brought back some memories .... Cool

Could be the one for you. Don't go back to the dealer with your wallet; you might not be able to resist your "love."

Those wheels are 18".

I have a friend that also mentioned he felt the camaro would look better with smaller wheels, and 'fatter' rubber....i kinda snikered at first, but i have been thinking........

hmmm........thoughts?

I like the big 20" RS wheels better, but some folks like the 18" ones, and that's fine. Nothing wrong with them, but as with the rally yellow exterior or inferno orange interior, they're just not for me.

Camaro is a big car when 18" look small. I think the 18s look awesome though. Maybe it's just me but muscle cars need fat rubber.

I have never been a fan of the larger sized wheels, 20"+ I do like the 18" ones on our Camaro.

I love my 20's, my 71 has the 15 x 8.5's with the big 275 60's on it and it looks awesome on the 71, but I could not see those wheels looking good on my 2010.

For me, the 20's do look a little too big. And the 21's just make it look like a Hot Wheels toy. Don't like those at all. For pure looks, I think the 19's are the right size. Plus, you can rotate them.

I love my LS!!!!!!! 18s are big to me haha! It is the perfect car for me..... i looooveeeeeeeee itttttttttt. You won't be disappointed with an LS

I agree sometimes these big rims make the car look silly. Look up charger on 30s on youtube. There is NO need for that lol I'll be happy with 18s or 19s

camarowa · 02-18-2010, 05:05 PM

I think 20s fit the car very nicely, anything larger - not so much.

Have not seen the LS wheels in person yet.
