    Default New wheels for my Camaro

    Just put on some new wheels for the Camaro over the past week. I wanted to get better pictures but the pollen ruined my wash job so all I have are some cell phone pics for now.

    Forgestar F14 20x9.5 fronts 20x11 rears. Tires are Mickey Thompson Street Comps 275/40/20 front and Nitto NT555R 305/35/20 rear. Car is dropped 1.25"

    Looks good Blake, what grille is that? Also are the wheels pretty light weight?

    Last I remember you threw a cam in this correct? Maybe that was the GTO?!

    Thanks man. It it is the GM accessories heritage grille. The wheels are about 6lbs lighter than stock. 1.5" wider up front and 2" in the rear. I have a cam in the camaro and the stroker in the GTO as well.

    GOOD:

    1. Black on red is a good look
    2. Forgestar is easier on the pockets then most and they are a good wheel
    3. You did black lugz....so many people get black rims and forget this small detail


    The Bad:

    1. Nothing...looks clean !!!


    2 Thumbs up !

    I agree with you. I made sure to get the black lugs cause i hate that small missed detail too. I was originally looking at factory zl1 wheels but i didn't want to pay $3600 for painted wheels. Then i looked at hre p4x series wheels and they were all $6000+. Im happy with the way it turned out... thanks for the compliments.

    My dad has those NT555Rs on his Cobra before it was stolen. He hated the shit out of them. No traction for shit.

    Car looks nice. I would take this over the new Vette any day of the week.

    Im not sure if they redesigned the tire or if im just too slow lol but traction seems to be pretty decent so far. Might help its a 20" wheel.

    The size may be a big factor. Also not sure if you are making Cobra power or not.

    About the same. Maybe they changed their compound. I won't say he couldn't get traction all together but they spun very easy.
