I really don't think the wheels is what I'd upgrade unless that's just what you want to do. I'd suggest painting the ground effects to match the rest of your car. It would look lower and really good. Just a suggestion

I think you should either go with the ZR1's ...or take a look at the snipers. Actually I still love the Torque Thruster III (or is it II)rims. Well I think that you should keep the gfx the way you painted them....it is your car. It looks great, even thought you do see a difference in the pic with them white. I am a fan of solid color cars...unless it is the '87 TA's(with the silver gfx). I for some reason feel like I have seen your car...or one very similar around me in NY. Were you on Long Island...around the North Babylon area anytime in the last month? Because if not...you have a twin on the Island. It was very similar...had the three star rims and the same hood...but cannot remember if it had the same paint job...yet it was white. Wierd. Well...nice car....I like the custom touches you put on it.

I would go with the SS wheels (chrome or alloy), as well as match painting the GFX white, it makes your car seem a little more muscular in my opinion

I would also lose the blue chevy stickers, but it's your car, so do what makes ya happy!

Damn you guys. He started this topic about his rims, not the car itself. Have none of you seen a two tone camaro before? Are you blind? LEAVE the paint how it is. It looks great. As for the rims, I like the rims on there. But Zr1's or C5's would look great also.

Paint the ground fx, ditch the blue chevy logos and go with the SS wheels..That's my own honest opinion and what I'd do if it was my car but to each his own...
