Yeah big wheels like 20's, 21's, and 22's make about as much sense as a 400 horsepower camaro needed aftermarketparts to make them faster or performance packages offered by gm, cause lord knows that the two to three thousand that the DRUG dealer types spend on their rims and tires pales in comparison to the tens of thousands that non DRUGDEALER types spend modding their street legal cars to bypass the 30 40 50 60 and 70mph speed limits, my god the big wheel thing is the dumbest thing in the world especially when you got guys out on the street with their open header cars as daily driver.....its called personal preference if you don't want it don't buy it if they are offered by gm so what if you want them buy them if not get the 13 inch 14 inch or 15 inch wheels hell it's your money if someone can't afford a v8 and wants the factory wheels they should be able to get them believe it or not there will be a whole hell of a lot maore v6's sold than v8's it's a fact..so actually if it wasn't for the v6 people we wouldn't have a 5th gen....I'm ranting but don't let so much of the red show on your neck but hey, do what it is that you do were all big boys

 

Heres a tip: read all of the post you are replying to so your responce isnt totally off. My issue isnt purely with the wheels and if its a v6 or v8. You kinda spun yourself up and went your own way with that post. Its the marketing stratigy GM is using. When this car comes out, i wouldent be suprised if i see em running around town with spinners, hydrolics or airbags. Its the type of people that they are marketing it towards. The reason why i say drug dealers, is not because i say evreyone that listens to rap is a drug dealer but because mainly people that listen to rap are punk kids and dont have any money because they are buying drugs from the drug dealers. Get what im saying? Dont even think of turning this into a race thing either because thats not what its about. Its a rap culture thing. White, black, hispanic, indian, asian, you name it. I just thought id throw that out there before someone desides to try and pull that card. The camaro isnt a car you deck out with TVs, 45 inch spinner wheels, airbags, chrome evreywhere, 10,000 watt sound systems and whatnot. Its a muscle car. What im saying is im worried that the car will lose its roots completly.

 

Pretty much you have to worry about everything because the bottom line is profits pure and simple. The tone that you took does smell a little of I'll just say elitist, so as not to step on toes, anyway hey signs of the time are signs of the time and truly the only thing that a purist can do is stay true to whatever it is that brought one into the fold, I don't personally see anything wrong with offering whatever size wheels they want to put on the camaro because, believe me someone will go two or three steps further than that...I understand the camaro is a Icon I miss mines everyday and it's worse when I see or hear one, but everyone does not treat such sacred thing as sacred...to alot of people it is just a car and to a few fateful it is truly an icon .All i am saying I am willing to bet that there are old school guys on the sight who have thought the trends after them there was something stupid about them, that's personal opinions I respect that but most trends are generated from dollar signs and if the rap generation couldn't afford it as you say there would be no market for it, there are old grandmothers that I've seen on all sizes of rims frow 22 inch on down and they have been white and black...Hey you love the camaro and I do also but so if it''s about love of the car lets just love the car....

Woooooooooo Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

.....man, I haven't seen that in a long time.....classic. I'm going to search for the vid as soon as I post!

 

no.

 

I guess I am in the minority here, but I can't see a purpose for 20 in wheels for any car the size of the Camaro.

Perhaps I'm not aware of new wheel or tire technology that would relate to unsrpung weight, ride, or handling?

 

why are the aluminum wheels on my car called "salad shooters"?

I've not heard the term before.

 

A salad shooter is a kitchen appliance that chops up greens for salad. The wheels in question look a little like the mechanism inside.

 

they're not the best looking wheel, but they are light wieght, durable, and 16 in combines a wide footprint, good handling, and good ride. I don't know why Chevy didn't go for a 5 spoke, tork thrust look. Chrome was cool a few years ago but now prefer a grey center & polished rim. Glad I just kept it original.

 

If you don't like the rims your new camaro comes with, then buy new ones! This is an aftermarket community! Its kind of childish to base a car purchase on such an easily changed out part.

And its not like you'll have trouble selling your stockers. GM 18" rim replacements can go upwards of 800 dollars a rim!!! Ebay is your friend! You'll probably MAKE money on the deal.

Also, to those of you concerned with additional rotating mass. Remember, gearing can be adjusted to make that extra diameter basically irrelevant. And you know that GM is going to be spending ALOT of time on the gearing of a 3700+ lb V8 car in todays marketplace.

This isn't the 90's. So 19-20 inch rims don't weigh 40lbs each anymore. Its called forged alluminum. Ask your teenager, cause god knows there are enough fast 4-bangers with 20's around here to prove my point.

 

I have yet to see an even remotely fast 4-banger with 20's. Biggest wheels I've seen on one I would consider fast were 18's. It was a modded EVO.

I have also yet to see any ricer around here that could afford to pony up for forged wheels.

Maybe your area is different...

 

you are trying to make the case that chaning gearing is irrellevant?
