Re: New kid here, what do you think of these wheels?

they are nice, but the tires are really narrow and small. Probably look better on a smaller car than an f-body

Re: New kid here, what do you think of these wheels?

HI Cole,

Welcome to the site. Nice Camaro you have there.For your car,I kinda have to agree,they look like Cobra R replica wheels used on the Mustangs.They're used a ton on the 79-93 fox-body stangs.

Try these guys out for wheels,quality is good,and prices are right.

Re: New kid here, what do you think of these wheels?

Yeah. Pass on those wheels. All 4 wheels look like they have damage, the last 2 photos show LOTS of curb rash.
