Hey Boomer, can you just right click/save and post the pics here? You gotta register on the site, and that isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

I'm not a big fan of those wheels, they're just not attractive. Plus, I think that 18's are going to end up looking pretty small on the Camaro, just like they will on the Challenger, and the 16's look small on Mustangs.

Can you imagine the weight on those 18" steel wheels? Like having boat anchors on all four tires.

LOL, but how do we know they aren't aluminum?

I'm taking the provided info at face value. There are apparently two sets of 18" wheels, one aluminum and one steel. If that indeed proves to be the case those steelies have got to be some heavy suckers.

Considerably less difference there than I would have expected. Given the fact that the CV steelie has virtually zero design effort in it perhaps a well thought out steel wheel could be a viable, low cost production option.

You know in looking at that forum, those Camaro guys crack me up. Killing Mustangs for years and crap, they must have some major inferiority complex to always compare themselves with Mustang when we couldn't give a crap about it. We appreciate the American muscle and they appreciate that its not a Mustang.
