Glad I can finally talk about this...2010 Camaro Wheel Images!
This is part of the survey that ChrisL posted, check it out here if you haven't already.
Click to enlarge a little bit
For an 18" steel wheel, I think it looks pretty damned good. I know we have seen the 18" aluminum wheel on a mule somewhere. People were calling it an "IROC" wheel. Looks like it! I gotta love the 19s and 20s myself.

Yeah I saw those on that survey. Personally, I would like a wheel JUST big enough to clear the brakes, those 18"'s look good to me. Lowering the car will remove ugly wheel well gap

the steel wheel is hideous. I'll roll with the dubs myself.

I think the 18" steel wheel is pretty cool looking...

The 18" isn't modern at all, I don't see how that could look good on the car.

I wonder how much the steel wheel compares to the IROC wheel? Are the aluminum wheels all cast?

Ditto. Doubt the 18" wheels will clear the 14" brakes on the SS, however. Opinions, or anyone know?

The 18" steel wheel is the BEST looking, bar none.

The steel wheel just looks ungodly ugly to me and I do not understand why anyone would want it. It looks like the hub caps on the 93-02 cars.. Just blah!

I have the exact opposite feeling: the rest of the wheels look absolutely blah and generic. If GM would aluminize it (the steel wheel) and make 'em wide, I'm all over it.

I voted on the 19's on size wise alone. I still cant believe there are 20's on this thing. Is there any advantage to a 20" rim? Style wise I like the 19's or 20's Id say I cant believe those 18's made prodution but I guess alot of you guys like them. Looks to me like a early 3rd Gen V6 but to each their own.

That 18" steelie looks like something off a 74 Cutlass. I guess they were going for the retro look. 20's all the way!

i think it MIGHT... But i doubt it'll clear the rear 14.4" brakes though.

I hope that the Camaro has a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Id like to put thoes 18 Steelies on my 72!!!
The 19 inch wheels...I thought that the LT would get 18/19's, so I guess that the 18's on the front will look like the 19's?

Nice selection IMO. I'd love for the 18" steel wheel to fit on the SS as it would make a great drag racing wheel. We'll see as the rear brakes are a large dia. and a large caliper.
