i don't know why everybody hates that wheel style, i even think it looks pretty good in gold. the 18" make the car look like you have a lift kit on it. the sidewalls are too thin for a camaro. that's why gm puts 16 & 17 wheels on f-bods and not 18. duh!

Individually the 18's look better than the gold ones, but...you had a really unique gold/black theme with the gold overlays, gold fill-ins, gold calipers, and gold exhaust tips that NOONE else has. Now with those rims that tons of people have it takes away from the uniqueness of the car. Are you going to get rid of all the gold stuff that you had and totally abandon the theme?

Thanks for the comments guys. I am going to change the exhaust tips, and leave the rest of the gold stuff on. A lot of people in my area have the same wheels as me, but not 18's. I really wanted 18's, and those were just perfect for what I wanted to pay. I have thought about lowering the car, but I do not know how how the wheels would fit up under the wheel well. The fronts wanted to rub until I unbolted the wells and pushed them toward the front a bit, and retightened the bolts. I kind of like the stance, kind of don't. I actually liked the gold wheels, no one else had them, but they were becoming a pain to keep up. Keep the comments coming.

Since you got rid of the gold rims(which I personally didnt like), I think you should get rid of the gold theme... I just dont think it will mesh well together..JMHO

I like the SLP quad tips personally. And those 18s look much better http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

Hey man i think the car looks BADASS on the 077's. Definitely better than the gold ones. Nice choice on the wheels by the way http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

yeah, i like the black and gold combo, i say paint your interior gold as well.

For the price you cant beat those 18's that eagle makes. They look really good but i had to go with something wider on mine...to give it that mean look
