I like my 'maro wheels. They are currently unpainted, but I may get around to painting them. Eventually I'll give them up when I go sas and then use whatever wheels I can find in a 6x5.5 pattern.

I say go for the camaro wheels because you won't see anything else like it around where you live. I've gotten looks by a lot of guys driving 80s camaro's wondering why their wheels are on a blazer.

Of course they will! That's why so many guys run them on this forum!

Not to mention the more aggressive stance they give over the stock wheels. Just be prepared to trim some fender, you might have to.

They may or may not rub. I was just giving you a heads up that they might. It's not so much how big the tire is, it is more of the placement of the tire. The backspacing of the tire is key here. Both wheels are 15x7s. Stock has a much higher backspacing though. These camaro wheels have 4.5" backspacing causing them to move out a little past the fender. This in turn may cause rubbing.

I think they would look a lot better than the factory rims.
