Default Buying my Camaro tomorrow

What's up all? I am new on the forum. So I am most likely buying a 2013 LS automatic tomorrow if my SS deal doesn't work out. Either way I plan on fixing the car up regardless of which one I get. If I get the LS I want to get rims first and then of course I want to chip it to give me more power. So I thought I would make a forum and introduce myself and ask if anyone has any trusted sites where I would be able to buy a performance chip and maybe even the rims. Thank you all and I hope to be chatting with you guys shortly.

Welcome to the forums!

Forget the chip. Not worth the time or money. You'll see better performance from an actual tune over a chip.

Rims all depends on what style/size you like. 20in is as big as I'd go with them, though.

What kind of tune, how much would it be, and how many horses and torque would it add? Also as far as the rims go I don't even know if I would want 20's I think 19's might be better imo. I don't want the front touching the fender on turns. I don't know if 20's do that on the Camaro.

Either a hand held tuner or a dyno tune. Cost varies on which you go with. Power, again depends on which you do, and what mods you plan in the future. If you plan on future mods, I'd wait on the tune till then.

If I'm not mistaken, the new Camaros come with 20 in rims as an option, so I can't see them being a problem. But like I said, 20 in is as big as I'd go. I'm a fan of smaller rims any ways, like 15-18.
