I like the size, I still think 18-20 in. are a little big, besides thats a good rim for autocrossin...

I like the blakc on black. There is a Z06 on campus with black rims like that

Whats up with all these "should have went with 18s" comments?

I noticed lately whenever someone posts pics of their new wheels there are atleast 2+ posts about going bigger then 17s.

Some of you need to realize that some people maybe care litlte more about performance then the bling factor.
I could have gotten 18s for my car, but i didnt for 2 simple reasons.
18s+ = NO TRACTION/EXPENSIVE TIRES.

what so cool about 18s+? They maybe fill up the gap litle bit more, but they also sure look nice with those puny brakes eh
I just dont see whats the hype about. Someone fill me in on advantages of bigger wheels

That is just what I think,Bling-Bling. Dont get me wrong, they look good. I just think the 17" is more practical. I want to here from someone w/ the 18" and very low pro tire who lived through a pot hole w/ rim and tire unharmed.

Exactly..If i wanted the "bling" factor...i would sell my car and get a tahoe with some 22's or something.. ...I figured being on a Camaro forum..the majority of the people would worry about performance first..than the bling factor..Unless you drive a V6..or a honda,worry about performance first.

You can get the wheels in solid black. A friend of mine has them on a pewter 01 SS. It looks pretty nice. Need to paint the calipers something besides black to pop the wheels off more cause they kind of fade in without the polished lip.
