Well...from your pics that you photoshopped....no...lol. But I think any rim would look better on your car than the ones you currently have on it. I do not like those at all..but if you like them keep them on. I would get the Iroc rims...or look at the ROH snypers. Either way you cant go wrong with changing those hideous rims. It makes your car look so....ugh. It is a really nice car...and would look really nice with out those rims. Sometimes rims just totally ruin the look of a car...and that is the case. Please dont take offense to my reply...I dont intend to make you feel bad in any way...but I do agree with your friend. So please change them...trust me. Once I changed the hideous rims off of my car...it looked so much better. Rims are a big part in appearance...if you put the wrong ones on it just totally ruins your cars look. But do what you want and do what makes you happy.

Yes..definitely look in the junk yard. My friend found a set for his '86 camaro SC and they are only $150. He is probably going to pick them up this weekend. Oh...and no problem. Thanks for not getting all bent outa shape for my honest opinion...this board needs more people like you who can take an opinion from somebody else and not turn it into some kind of flame war.

I think IROCs would look much better. Hell, 13" wheels with hubcaps would look much better, those things are ugly as sin!

Some lowering springs and IROC wheels would make your camaro awesome and so much more agressive.

Well, I gave it my best shot, and I put ROH Snypers on, then shaved the door handle, and door-ding guards. I put a cowl hood on it, then lowered it a bit. I added just a bit more shadow in the front end, for appearance. Then I took that bra off, well just because I was bored. Sorry I didn't post it earlier, but my image hoster went out of business.

Here it is....

Personally, I think you should do this :

5.7L W/ 64000 miles
Flowmaster Exhaust
Fully Loaded
------------------

My IROC
