I got alot of the same attention when I upgraded my tires earlier this year to the 555G2's 255/305. Same with the guys at the Cadillac dealer where I get my oil changes. My car is not really understated, the wheels were a stretch for this old school chrome guy. Seen them on other cars and did not like them but I wanted to do a red/black scheme on white car. I got custom stripes that match the wheel color and think it came out great. I also have the adrenaline red interior, seats are two-tone red/black tho.
BTW, my C5 corvette got alot of attention also.

And I too love "Tim The Tool Man"! "Home Improvement" was a GREAT TV series. My favourite episode was the one where Tim accidentally crushed the Nomad and tried to tell Jill it was just a "minor repair". Souping up the family dishwasher was also good! Jim G |

I think it really depends on how many cars are around that look like yours. No one anywhere near me has a Camaro that looks like mine so I get long looks/comments every time I drive it...and it's 4 years old! Fun to get the attention as my last RS was pretty common.
I have a 2017 RF Miata and people never know what that car is. So it gets a lot of looks/comments too. There just aren't many around in the KC area. Mustangs, on the other hand, are everywhere in my town. I would suspect there are at least 10 different all black ones around me, and they look nice, they're just so common. |

My 2018 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition 2SS M6 gets attention everywhere. It may have something to do with the color. lol

Yes, that's a very eye-catching colour! A friend at our church has an SS in that very flashy lime green colour with the chrome wheels. It stands right out! Our own daily driver is a 2022 Ford Maverick. It's only an "XL" (the lowest Ford trim), but the colour is the one that everyone wants: "Area 51". That colour changes its apparent hues from bluish to greenish depending upon the ambient outdoor lighting.
In the photo below the time of day was summer evening at 3000 feet elevation (where The Sun is VERY bright), and the colour looked like the photo below. Jim G |

Look how different the colour appears in this photo taken on Vancouver Island, at sea level, wintertime, on a cloudy day.

I can't express how thankful I am that you shared those photos. I took delivery of my '22 LT1 Redline Vert in August and I have been looking since then at seat covers. Being color blind (yes I can still drive) a generic/stock photo on a website is useless. Pair that with being in a tiny city way up Northern Ontario with minimal auto shops and even less custom available it's been quite a challenge.
That lipstick red is exactly what I envisioned for my Camaro. I got ahold of that dealership and am working out a way for them to ship from AB to ON. |

I can see how you’d say that. lol
It’s actually a nod to Kramer from Seinfeld, also a nod to HP(as in, it has a lot of giddy up!)…not to mention that the Camaro was originally a pony car. That being said, I have nothing against Mustangs. They’re not for me, but their existence made the Camaro push to be better every year. 😎

Your car is a nice-looking ride, and the SC is icing on the cake.
I guess it's safe to say 275's will work on stock LT1 rims. |
