Default Black Rims on a red Camaro?

Any thoughts on these rims on a red convertible? I have no chrome other than the old salad shooters, mine is all black -bra, window tint, stripes and top... not sure if its too much black. Thanks

I say get rid of le bra, those things ruin the look of a car. but other than that, I think it would fit nicely with your car's overall theme. the chrome lip would even tie into exhaust tips. Do it

the colors would accent the car nicely but I dont think the Cragar style looks good on this body style. This car is too curvy and sleek to make the rims look good. The Mustang has more sharp angles, like cars from the 60's when these rims came out and that makes them look good.

I say go with the color scheme of black/silver but do it with a more modern rim design. Also watch the offset these cars use rims like A FWD uses.

Those aren't Cragars, they're American Racing Torque Thrust Series II rims. I personally like them, I've wanted a set ever since I got my car.

My nose cone is so cracked I had to go with the bra, maybe someday I will put a new cone on.

I know they are not Cragars but it is the "Cragar Style" Whenever some one sees those rims around here they call them Cragars weather they are or not. I love those on 60's cars and newer mustangs, as for Camaros the 4th gen is the only one I don't like these rims on, but that is just my $.02. I think the Color scheme would look great on your car tho.

i agree with massey that those rims look more for mustangs, as the body curves come into play
