Finally installed my new custom wheels!
First pic after installation yesterday. 21" Lexani Stuttgarts with Michelin Super Sport 4S tires. Custom painted red pinstripe and silver inner flange; the black spokes and machined tips are a stock Stuttgart finish. BTW - the morning sun and my cellphone camera distorted the reds on my stripes, caliper covers and pinstripes - they're all the same PMS color. FWI: I will soon be selling my 22" Lexani R 12's with Pirelli P Zero Nero's with only 1000 miles on them for about 50% of original cost. These wheels are spotless. If interested watch for my post in the Members Classified section.

Nice wheels, but lose the caliper covers. If you want red calipers, order the g2 brake caliper paint kit. I've seen it done it looked almost factory

I've heard that before but i do like them adding more red to my red and black theme. I see no difference between covers and painted calipers that many cars come with. I think the calipers with custom SS graphics are actually better looking than the stock painted calipers.

I've seen that product. Just personal preference - I like the SS lettered covers better than stock painted calipers.

Personally I think 21's are the perfect size visually, not necessarily from a performance standpoint. I don't track or race. The high beltline on the Camaro makes even the 20's look smallish - JUST my opinion. My SS is a garage queen designed for show not go. 455 HP is plenty for me now that I'm about to turn 78 - don't trust my reflexes anymore with super high performance cars!

What size is the tire? Does it workout to be the same height tire as stock? They appear to fill the wheel well more than stock sizes but it's hard to tell.

Overall diameter very close to stock. 255/35/21 and 295/30/21. They fill the well because of 1.5" lowering springs.

Really like the rims! They look great with your car lowered.
