With a drop it will look okay.

I don't like mesh or split spoke type wheels on camaros, 5 spokes look much better

I typically agree. These do look nice though. You should post some more/better pics!

These look just like the old Evo's that were all the rage for a while.

Re: My gun metal gray with rpm505. Your thoughts?
Looks like you need some spacers, that is what we call "sunken battleship fitment" And drop it about 4-5 inches it will look better.

Re: My gun metal gray with rpm505. Your thoughts?
These are one of the wheels I'm considering...what's the size/backspacing combo? I agree, car needs to come down a little but overall I think it looks good.

Re: My gun metal gray with rpm505. Your thoughts?
The front is 19 X 8.5" with 20mm offset I am running 245 35 19 I had to use a 1.25" spacer in the front. The rear is 19 X 9.5 with a 30mm offset I am running the 285 35 19 and I had to use a 7/16" spacer. In the pictures I had installed the Dropzone springs in the rear which didn't really drop it any. I suppose the old springs were sagging pretty bad. I am going to cut a coil from them and see what that does after I install the fronts to see what im looking at up their.

Nay. They look like they belong on a Nissan 240Z.
