I'd like to see it. It is also an easy way for GM to make a little extra money. 20's fit well on the Charger and Mustang, I expect the same from the Camaro.

I guess I have no problem with having them as optional equipment. I would never go for 20's personally, but if there are people out there that would like factory 20's, then make them optional. However, I don't see why you wouldn't just take the money you would spend on that option and get a set of aftermarket 20's. That way there are more options and you get a wheel that you want and are not just settling.

I don't think 20 inch wheels should exist

Depends on what is available on the top model I suppose. Whatever the case may be an optional wheel size should be available on the base.

I definitely think there should be optional rims for all model levels.
Sizes, styles, and finishes.

I really don't think 20"s should be an option for the v-6 or v-8. 17"s for the
V-6, and 18"s for the V-8. 19" rims are more expensive , harder to find tires for. 20"s look good , but are just too big in my opinion. I mean 20"s look good on the Charger and 300C but look how big those cars are. Granted the Camaro isn't going to be exactly small, but it will be smaller and it is a 2 dr. coupe afterall. Leave the 20's,22's and 24"s for the after market.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 17's or 18's as standard equipment on the base V6. 19's on the SS, and perhaps 20's or a staggered 19"/20" combo on the Z/28.

i like 15s

Well then enjoy your Aveo.

I agree, 20's start creating a kinda ghetto look...not to mention accumulating rotating mass. And, I don't want the ground clearance of an SUV.

Z28x

Don't forget Solstice comes with 18"s, Colbalts, Impalas, G6, Aura, GTO all come with optional 18"s

Holden sell cars with 19"s and so does Cadillac (V-series)

I agree with Z284ever, I think you are going to see V6 Camaros with 17 or 18" Standard (other $20K cars have them) V6 crowd is going to be less worried about rolling mass and more into looks. 20"s would be a hit on a $22,000 V6 Camaro.

I think the new Mustangs look great with 20"s




GM doesn't make money on 3rd party aftermarket parts and you also don't get the GM warranty with them. GM has about 8 20" options for the fullsize trucks and they seem to sell well.

I think that 20" wheels are a touch too big on the Mustang, and I think I'll feel the same way about the Camaro.

As long as it's optional so that I'm not stuck with it, I'm fine with it being available for other people.

I think 18" wheels would be just about perfect. And since there's all that room in there, how about optional 14" rotors too?

Z28x

I kind of agree, 19" are perfect, but 19' tires are more expensive and harder to find than 20"s. I think 20"s would sell better too just because of the fade associated with the #

One more reason to get 18s.

Casull

This is true; however, my response was not based on the premise that GM should be able to make money on the wheels. It was purely from a consumer preference standpoint.

This brings up an interesting point. Perhaps they are able to offer them on trucks becasue the tires are naturally much larger. If they put them on a car from the factory, I wonder if they would be covered under the warranty due to the much higher liklihood that they will get bent because the tire is much more low profile than a truck. Perhaps this is a reason we have not really seen many 20" wheel options on cars.

Z28x

BMW does it, so does DCX now. GM just started putting 18" on non-performance and lower priced cars. I think with time they will do 20" on cars if that is what the market demands. I wouldn't be surprised if the next CTS is available with 20" rims. Of course the car need to be engineered to handle the larger wheel sizes otherwise you will have issues with braking and bent rims.
