Both of those cars are bad ass, and I like the black wheels. Can't wait to see how they perform on the track. Should be some good shoot outs between the Z and the new Boss and Shelby. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

Not a fan of black wheels on anything, and haven't been much of a new Camaro guy, but those two new Z's are awesome.

They redesigned the headlights, front grill, and rear taillights on all the new Camaros? Never saw any literature on this.

Tail lights look like they are off an old Acura. Horrible

No stockpiling of parts. It looks like any replaced parts have to be sent back to for &quot;Analysis&quot;. I guess to make sure that the only parts out there are only on real Z28 cars.

I'm not a fan of tge look, usually. I have seen a few cars which they are acceptable on- all high hp cars and so I have a rule. If the car truely is a BMF tge black wheels are okay. Where is that threshold? I think about 500 to the wheels gets you in the ballpark.

Black rims on poser cars are the worst!

X2! At some point the performance simply overrules the look(s), and ~500RWH can come with black wheels - especially if the body is black. I think the Z28 is simply awesome....
