      Finally got my wheels on, What do you guys think?

      Sorry the pics are bad and the car is dirty. I wanted to share anyways and get your input on how you like the wheels, size, stance, etc.

      Congrats ...Mine are 19x10, and 18x9...

      Once I saw the Rushforth's, there was no other wheel for me...

      Again, great choice on your wheels...

      If you can come down a little in back maybe.

      I am still setting the stance on my car too...But the wheels... Good Job...

      I was thinking the same thing about lowering the back a little bit. The tank is empty and I haven't driven it at all with the new springs so it may settle a little so I am going to wait until I have a few miles on it before I decide on lowering the back an inch or so.

      Too Funny, me too.

      I have the new Hotchkis Springs, and we are going to let them settle first.

      You got it...The right wheels, the right car, the right idea on waiting a while.

      We can dump them only so far and still have the ultimate handling.

      Any more and you are tubbing, and 4 linking.

      So, ya leave the front, and wait on the back...

      It will end up right where you want it.

      Rushforth's,.....yea man...I am hooked

      Love the Rushforths. I'm a happy customer as well. I wouldn't change a thing about the wheels, but I would consider color matching the bumpers, window moldings and headlight chrome to the wheel finish. It's just not yet all tied together if you get what I'm spraying.

      Looks great. What size tires? If it settles an inch in the back, it will be perfect.

      I feel what you are spraying..On my car the Chrome bumpers, chrome window trims,door handles, chrome headlight pieces, and the chrome Rushforth edge, all tie together just like I planned...

      69496 In that one lower left photo, it looks like your stance is really close...the one in front of the mustang ? and on the side of a ?? chevelle ?

      Let the springs settle in and fill the tank...

      Because the front looks sweet and you can't go too low in back...

      Thanks everyone for the comments. And as a couple of you mentioned one of the next things I am doing is matching all the trim and bumpers to the wheels. Tires are 295/35/18 and 265/35/18 nitro nt05. And yes that is my 69 chevelle in the background I have had since I was 16 torn to pieces. The mustang behind is the wife's. My daily driver is a ford focus believe it or not. Once the camaro is buttoned up I will be driving that atleast half the time.

      Looks perfect and you will not have to clean them everytime you drive.
      My camaro droped around 1" in the last few years so I would wait on lowering it.

      Looks good. You have the perfect amount of lip front and back. Once the stance settles in you'll be alright....

      Those wheels would look great on my car. Send them to me and I'll break them in for you

      Daily driver are all good.. i drive the 1999 truck with 200k miles on it...purrs and will drive across the country... People say why did i not just buy a new truck cash and leave the camaro alone... Nope...

      You are doing it right..it takes time..the ford focus is your secret life...they don't know the madness you really own..

      Not a fan. You asked. Too plain. Looks too much like a thousand other wheels. Just my opinion.
