I really think the 22s in this one make it sit too high in the back.

for some reason I can't help but think of this when I look at the side profile...



22 = too high of a ride height

 

I think there could be serious issues w/ bent/cracked wheels. These cars will be quite popular, and for many a daily driver, so people will be driving these cars on all kinds of roads in all kinds of conditions. I'm going to stick w/ a "teen inch" wheel and not 20"+. Too big, too much a liability for GM on a passenger cars. SUV's have more tread to compensate for the increased wheel diameter.

 

No 20" rims on ANY model. I hate this huge wheels craze. Its dumb beyond comprehension. 19 max and not on the V6--it would just slow it down.

 

I believe too big will bring us a Ricer stereotype as well...and I think it's "trendy", which will pass.
I want a "timeless" stance, look...18's front w/slightly wider 19's rear, maybe, with the body hugging the tires as close as feasable..

 

I like 18's on some and 20's do look good on some cars but not for me. I blame hot wheels for this craze. But I have heard that these wheels and the high volume of sales help push the r&d to make them lighter so it also trickles down this performance to street type performance wheels for drag racing and such.

 

while the 21/22 combo may be to big...its just for the concept. And realistically, the newer cars are made to accomodate bigger wheels. Like someone stated earlier, the mustang and charger have flared fenders and such, so if you put a 17" wheel on there it would look out of place. theres no way it would fill out the fender at all. the 4th gens came with 16" rims which look way too small, but a nice 18" rim would fill out the fender well. With the 5th gen i would say a nice 19/20 combo would work well with the car without looking like this:http://rjohnson070187.tripod.com/monte.jpg

 

No I don't think 20 inch rims should be a dealer option on a V6.

 

20 inch rims should be available as an option on V6 Camaros. It makes no sense if a potential Camaro V6 buyer wants 20 inch rims but the only way to get them is on a V8 Camaro costing thousands of dollars more which the customer can't afford and therefore a Camaro sale is lost. The new Camaro should be as appealing to as many people as possible. Same with a stripe option. These should be available as options on V6 Camaros so potential Camaro buyers can make their V6 Camaros look hot without being forced to a buy a higher priced V8 Camaro in order to get these items on the car. The demand for a V6 Camaro could be surprising due to lower insurance rates for younger age Camaro buyers and also because of the ungodly current price of gas. Where this nonsense stops with the price of gas is any ones guess.

 

your making a huge assumption that there uis any demand for such a huge rim. Even if it wasn't avavible---they can go tot he aftermarket. Headly gonna lose a sale--to some ricer twit! I hate huge rims!

 

im very concerned about what will happen with this car. The way chevy is marketing it, its going to end up being like the charger, 300, impala, and most caddys... Evrey drug dealers favorite car. I will not own a car with such a reputation. So Ford or Dodge may be getting an unexpected new sale in 2009. Unless i got the $ for a Vette by that time but ill be in College by then and my wife will just be getting out so thats doubtful. I love the camaro and ive loved it since the 3rd grade. Its the only car ive ever wanted but for GM to mutilate the car like this is wrong in my opinion. This car represents america not the hood y0! Ive always wanted to purchase a brand new camaro from the dealership and not a used one but my age didnt allow that. I sure hope I am able to still go to the dealership in 2009 to finally sit down with the salesman and leave with a brand new camaro z28. Cause after that rap video and this talk of 20, 21, and 22 inch wheels i dont see this looking pretty as an end result. Yes ive put on my flame retardent suit too cause i know its gonna get a little warm in here. So hit me.

 

Well, just to give an opinion of someone who is HARDLY from the 'hood'...

The styling of the 5th Gen lends itself well to the larger rims.

I'm far more of a 'preppy/club/geek' kinda person. And I love the large rims.

Large Rims doesn't = Drug Dealer... I work in a state prison, and large rims are just as popular on the right side of the law as they are on the wrong side.

 

**** They Should Just Lift The Shoes Up On The Camaro And Put 22's On Back And 20's On Front ****......I'm Def Gon Cop The Z28 Or SS With All The Good Shizz

 

Wat Tha ****......So If U Have Rims Over 20 Inches Then Your A Drug Dealer.......That's Tha Dumbest Thing I Heard In A While......I'm From The Hood And I Got A Camaro On 18's I Was Thinkin' About 20 Inch Irocs But I Really Like Tha 18's.....But I Would Rather The Rims To Be 20 Inch And Over....And Please Don't Say **** Like That Cuz That Is Stupid *** ****......Watts Up!!!

 

Wow, nice grammar/spelling.

I guess you must be from "the hood" to type like that. Very convincing.

 

Believe It Or Not......I Used To Stay In Watts But Now I Live In Vegas.....HaHa....I Don't Care If U Believe Me Or Not
