I love those wheels, anyway, I would be changing them out like I usually do with a New car purchase, something more lightweight and probably Black in color .....

In my opinion, the current Camaro looks best on black, so yes, your's look really nice.

How can anyone think that this
looks better than this? Sounds like ECS C6 is just a little stuck in the 90's. |

Please stop feeding the TROLL, and keep it clean people. I don't mind the design of the wheels. But everyone has an opinion. Respect it and if you don't agree, don't comment on it. Just let it go.

I never had Black wheels on any of my cars in the past until my wife said, "I bet your white Camaro would look sharp with Black wheels" and now I have Black wheels on my '13 2LT and Love the looks .......

I think on this car, the Camaro, and others too, that most of the body colors look great with black rims, also the design of the 5th gen black rim is better looking than the upgrade rim (speaking on the ZL1 level), IMO. |

"The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly."
Still not sure what this means, scaled in which direction heavier, lighter, bigger...what? To me, it sort of says, hey, we have a much lighter chassis, we can put 20" rims on without any problem. bigger brakes too? or everything is lighter, wheels and brakes too? |

Yeah I was thinking pad surface area but I completely forgot about that. Seems like they went that route then with larger rotors. That could also increase cooling right?

Even some people are happy with owning Mustangs! Ricing, which I don't like, is not evil by itself. Only in your eyes. I don't like Japanese sports cars, but I do own a black 1LE. With black rims. And actually, now I wonder why people don't make their rims match their body color! I wouldn't have thought this way before, but now think it's an absolute nonsense to have aluminium colored rims on a car that is not grey ... I mean, like if you were wearing green shoes with a black suit! 2/ AWD Camaro? Well, I think you're not knocking on the right door ... AWD can be useful (offroad) or more secure (snow, mountains ...). Here, we're talking about a Pony car, ie, as of now, a "old school" sports car. I mean, you can think the Camaro should have AWD, sequential gearbox, and KERS/additionnal electrical engines and so on... well, you might even have good reasons for that ... still it won't be a Camaro anymore. It would'nt have its heritage, its DNA, nor its price! Besides, Camaros are heavy enough ... don't add more weight ... 3/ Not directed at you but funny how Mustang forum are talking (a lot!) about the new Camaro! Looks like they're talking more about the Camaro than we do. These guys are pretty scared ...

My opinion is it would definitely mean smaller lighter wheels, not bigger or heavier. If it is "scaled", it means "to scale" which means proportionally sized to a fixed ratio. Like when you build a "scale" model (which usually has the scale ratio printed on the box). I think we are getting 19" rims on the SS. I'm okay with that, if it increases performance by reducing rotational mass and unsprung weight. Can't wait to find out! |
