I'm not really in a huge hurry, I've owned the car 17 years, I can wait awhile longer if necessary in order to do things exactly the way I want them. I am definately going to be installing a 12 bolt next year (4.11 gears) along with big discs all around.
Sweet a friend of mine has a :hail: 502/502 in his 69 Z28 vert. Its all decked out in chrome its so freakin sweet to look at.

So where did you pick up the rims and what was the cost for the 18's as well as the cost for the 20's???

You have any close-up pictures showing the clearance, etc.....

Would be appreciated....

That actually looks nice, even thought 20's are pushing it for a Camaro.

Dude. Nice.

I know you say the exhaust looks better in person, but have you considered raising the tips up a bit? They just look like they're old and droopy in the pictures, even if they're right where you intended them to be. I think they'd look ever better if they were up a couple inches.

Still pretty sweet though

I picked them up here. $277 for 18", $358 for 20". This was the best price I found by far.

No close up pics yet, but I'll try and get some in the next couple of weeks. Work is crazy right now.

I can barely squeeze my fingers between the exhaust and the rear bumper, so if I were to raise them anymore, I would just end up melting my bumper. Thanks for the idea though.

i would totally have to agree with brody's camaro on this one. i am not a huge fan of the car and i think that the money would have been better spent under the hood, HOWEVER, the car looks tastefully done and i don't think that if i saw it going down the street that i would throw-up or anything. anyhow. i am going with the harwood 4" outlaw hood that will come up quick and level out with the car's lines, like what brody was trying to explain. just my .02

Blue502...The car looks perfect ...tailpipes and 20's look unique.......But can answer the question about overall handling ....for example getting on and off 180 degree highway ramps at a high speed etc....effect on traction.....and approximate quarter mile in your opinion........Again the car looks good..... modern and clean...
