Pull the trigger you can't go wrong, buy straight from doug directly thru factory reproductions and don't look back. I would suggest getting wheels and tires together so you can throw an 11 inch wheel with a 315 in back but everyone has their opinion on that. Great company great quality

I like my polished ones. A couple of Autox's with them so far. No complaints. I would go with a forged wheel if you track the car a lot or take it on a road course.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the compliment. I really like these wheels and I'm so glad that I waited on the PVD black chrome. I ordered a wheel/tire/lug nut combo. The fronts are 10x20 and the rears are 11x20. If you are going to be tracking your car, I would recommend getting 10" all the way around. The Camaro understeers and square setup helps correct this problem. I'm not tracking mine, so I went with the wide 11" rears and I love the look. They totally fill the wheel well.

I've put a couple hundred miles on them now, and I am very happy with the way the car rides and steers. The Toyo Proxes are a huge improvement over the P-Zeros. The car feels much more "planted" and solid. It rides better too.

One other thing to note, is that these wheels really are not chromed. They are PVD chrome. PVD is similar to powder coating, so all of the flaking, peeling, and chipping associated with chrome is a thing of the past. The wheels are actually about 10-20% darker than the pictures show. They were reflecting the sunshine and asphalt when I took the pics. I think black chrome would look great on your car.

Thank you for posting the pics. You're right, those wheels are amazing on your baby. I've always liked the black chrome look over the matte, satin, gloss black look. I'll probably wait until I have to replace tires, got about 16,000 on the P-Zeros. And thanks for the review of the Proxes. I am definitely rethinking the Pirellis.
