That is awesome !
Its amazing how much a nice set of wheels and a proper suspension and stance transforms the look of the car. Just curious what is going on up front. Do you have some kind of headlight covers ? Or is it just the angle of the camera ?

Rims are bada**
I just love the color of those rims with the silver/chrome rim and grey spokes. Really complements the body color of the car. They are the perfect size too. Seen a few pictures online of cars with 22" or such and just don't care for that huge a wheel on the Camaro. You just really did such a great job with your mods to the car. So subtle but yet so dramatic at the same time. Its so easy to go too far with mods and it ends up being silly or overdone. I am one jealous site member !

The size? 20″ x 10″, all the way around. People ask me why I didn’t go bigger in diameter. I wanted to find the best compromise between looks and function. Bigger than 20″ in diameter doesn’t seem necessary to me for my car. Wider than 10″ may not have offered any additional needed performance yet increased weight. Bigger in the back and narrower in the front would have looked cool, but would have made the car push more in corners and was strongly discouraged by both Pete and David. I still wanted that look, so what I did was have the offset slightly different in the rear to provide the illusion of wider rear wheels and tires. Sneaky, eh?

So glad you kept it subtle
After seeing all the hideous 5th gens at SEMA, it really shows how great you car looks. Less is more. I look forward to future videos with some sound. The car at idle getting loaded on the truck, it sounds evil. Can't wait to see and hear a video of it going down the road with some right foot in it !

Sorry we couldn't meet up during the week. You and anyone else, please e-mail any pics of my car to jason@camaroz28.com. I'd like to see it through other people's eyes.
