Re: 1991 camaro on 22"s, Carlos206

20s look alot better the the 22s the only reason id still like to see them smaller is the ride height....if u can get it lower on 20s that be pretty sick.... i just like camaros low....lookin pretty good id give 7.5 outta 10....9.5 outta 10 if u get it an inch or two closer to the ground....get it down to my IROCs level!!! with 20s and that be pretty clean...

Re: 1991 camaro on 22"s, Carlos206

carlos, your right lets def put this behind us. im going to be honest about your car, before when you put the 22s on i didnt like it. the 20's def look amazing on your car. id usually say 20s are to big, but since they are all blacked out, and the rest of the car is blacked out, it look very nice. if the 20s were chrome, id say its to much, but the black blends in with the car very nicely. i like the blacked tails. i like everything now. great job.

Re: 1991 camaro on 22"s, Carlos206

personaly like them. I don't like the style of rim AT ALL. But thats just me. The size is a bit big but still OK. The rest of the car is GREAT!

But I am picky when it comes to width. I run 11" rears so anything smaller than 10" in the back looks like bike tires to me. lol.

good job,

Re: 1991 camaro on 22"s, Carlos206

20x9s are that much more decent IMO. I just think anything 8" wide doesn't look good larger than 16" diameter. Even 17's I think shouldn't go skinnier than 9". Did the 20's do anything to your ride height or did the tire sidewall take care of the ratios evenly.

but on a real note. thanks for your thoughts. and the rims are 20x9" not 20x8".
i have had alot of cars with low pro(Z) and yeah your right the potholes are not a good place to be. thanks for the advise.

I like the 20"s a whole lot better. ALthough im a functional man and i wouldnt go any bigger than 18's at least you got those EXTREMELY shiny 22"S off there. And also where did you get your car painted and how much did it cost??

Also there is nothing wrong with a black primered hood on our cars....i have one not everyone can afford to paint their cars right away. I think my car looks pretty decent with its crappy paint and black hood. 22"s are a different story though.

Re: 1991 camaro on 22"s, Carlos206

I have to say that your car looks really good and the work has really payed off. Thats a really nice looking car. The 20's actually look very good with that car. My ONLY complaint is that the car seems to sit a lil too high now. On the contrast if you were to lower it, it would look odd. Overall great work on the car. It has come a long way and looks very clean. Love the blacked out look.

the paint job was done at maaco believe it or not. like you said not everyone can afford a paint job! (but no i worked at a maaco and i got it painted there for 500 bucks)
and on the primer hood i never said it looked back i never went into talkin about the dudes car untill he said that my car was missmatched.
so i said his was which doesnt mean its ugly it just means its missmatched. but i feel you when i got my car paint i saved a while to do so. i no different than everybody else we all are going through hard times.
but yeah

Re: 1991 camaro on 22"s, Carlos206

OK THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON MY CAR.
I NOW WAS WONDERING...
IF I WERE TO PUT IT ON CRAIGSLIST FOR SALE HOW MUCH WOULD YOU GUYS THINK I CAN GET FROM IT??
IN OTHER WORDS HOW MUCH SHOULD I POST IT FOR?
(IM IN SEATTLE IF THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE)

THE CAR IS 1991 CAMARO RS V6 WITH 50000 MILES ON THE REBUILT ENGINE NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
HAS A AUTO-TRANNY.

Id never roll around on 20s personally, because Im a performance over looks kind of guy. BUT I do think you pulled the 20s off pretty well, and the car is looking alot better since you first started. Keep it up, it may not be my taste, but I can def. appreciate your time and money into your car.

Thumbs up to you.

Im thinking your not going to get out of it what you have put into it so far. V6 Thirdgens dont sell for much usually. You do have the looks going for you, and hopefully someone will be interested in it because of that. Im nowhere near Seatle so Im not sure what the market is like out there to give you a ball park of what you could get.

I really like the blacked out look on most any car, but yours looks especially mean, 20's or not. Sweet ride man.

I'd start at 2K (IMO) and see what that gets ya.
