Nice car and all... but the F-body just doesn't look right without a nice sidewall. Too much wheel does not look good. I know I won't be driving around on rubber bands.

I like how theirs no more fender lip. Do you need to modify the fenderwells though?

The only problem is that wheels that big would hurt performance because of the extra unsprung weight.

Black IROC 86 - I know they are photochopped,,,i ment they looked larger then real 20" on his car.

LowCamaro- the blue camaro with the 20's cardomain is: http://members.cardomain.com/u8win_n
He also has his camaro in one of camarosource.ca 2004 camaro calanders.

TransAm12sec- Ask LowCamaro about fender lips......Id say there stock on the blue camaro....my front wheels are about 1/2'' away from the fender lip sitting still,,,but thats runing lowering springs with a shorter spring travel,,mind you the wheel can travel up a bit inside the fender well before the rubber snubs on the lower control arm will stop on your frame. My stock tire height is like 26" (i think) as long and i get a 20"tire/rim combo no higher then 26" im cool (providing my backspaceing and measured tire width is the same as stock).

I agree....the car is clean, of course, but rims that large just look a little silly on a sports car to me. Reminds me of any given rap video, where excess and gaudiness are the prime highlights.

If would buy them if they were avaiable in 9x19 and 11x20. But 8 or 9 inch on the back? No way. 10 inch is the minimum there

why would you say that? Yeah some of the Berls came with ugly rims or sport coupes. But what about the Iroc rims or the 91-92 Z28 wheels? THey look great esp when there polished up. If anythin i perfer a nice clean polish stock Iroc rim over any of these chromed out rims and all these 20s ppl are starting to throw on. Imo i dont like it. ANd im not sayin all non stock rims are bad. I wouldnt perfer them on my 3rd gen thats all

IMO stock wheels of ANY sort that came on 3rd gens dont look good. now i have to admit that my wheels i have dont look that great but theres other things on my list right now. i just dont understand the time and money and effort that people put into stock wheels. but thats there thing so more power to them.

I rarely find a wheel that I think fits better than stock. It would be cool if some of them were larger though. GM has a record of awesome wheels. That's not to say that aftermarket rims look bad.

Look how many people are runnin' Y2K's, ZR1's, 10 spokeSS, ZO6's...etc. All factory. I think the 3rd gen rims are no different, except that they're not 17" or bigger.

they look sharp, but too big for me...

I don't think I'd run anything bigger than 17 inch rims myself.

...then again, I'm harping on a car w/ nicer rims, and I'm still running stock 87 SC rims w/ 215/65/15s on 'em....

...guess I'd rather go fast than look cool, props to those than can afford both.
