Ok, I'm curious. I was just watching some Camaro vids, and decided I really like the Wheels on the Convertible the best.

Coupe Wheels:


Convertible Wheels:


Or, "it doesn't matter, I'm getting Aftermarket"

Or, "Wheels don't really matter to me, I'll take whatever they have".

Those wheels on the 'vert are hawtt **** on pics, but I might go aftermarket if I don't like them in person.

I'm guessing they'll be just fine and that I'll want to spend money on performance upgrades rather than wheels.

I would love to have a set of concept wheels same size. But I would probley use the largest fatory wheels even if it doesn't come on them. I kinda like OEM wheels best.

I like the silver concept's wheels, but not the best wheel for me. I believe I will go for an aftermarket 18x9/18x11 wheel in either a Chip foose black Nitrous wheels or a gunmetal C6 Z06 setup. But its all on what fits and what doesnt.

My personal opinion is the 21 and 22s are to big! Look at the cost of rubber! I really like the staggered look like some of the vettes have come with (Z06) but wideth in the back with 19s and 20s, or even 18s and 19s and I will keep the stock wheels till I run out of things to upgrade or spend money on. I don't like the kiddish trend of massive rims and 1 inch of rubber. Its not functional and that is what I'm looking for.

I totally agree. Take the GTO for example, they look better with the 17's instaed of the 18's cause they have more meat on them. Now i know the Camaro has bigger wheel wells and it does need bigger wheels and tires. I think 18's threw 20's. Preferably the 18's. The smaller rim size the bigger the tire=more meat under the car. Plus a slightly smoother ride.

I would not want a tire bigger than 18, you need some rubber on the tire for safety & ride comfort. :patriot:

I'll take the best looking I can afford when I purchase and go aftermarket a year or two later.
Yeah, that's my plan, too. I need some nice looking stock ones for putting R-compound tires on for Autocrossing, and then I'll have some aftermarket for the street.

I'm going to get me some aftermarket rims for my camaro, the concepts' rims aren't bad but I want some nice chrome rims. But I'll keep the stock wheels possibly for winter time if they are good for snow. And I do want 20s! ;)

I'm a stock-wheel kinda guy. New wheels cost a lot..and are just for show. I rather spend the $$ doing functional things to the vehicle that do more besides just 'look good'. :p

I hope for the coupe's wheels in a size 17. I just hope we still will be able to easily throw 16" or 15" wheels on the rear with a pair of et streets on them.
