Silver LS with steel wheels at Houston Auto Show - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I say, there's something 1930's gangster car sinister about the base LS steel wheels. I like 'em. I may just swap the rims on my LT/RS for those.

I think if you put a spoiler on the LS, any style, it is going to take on a whole different look. Very good looking entry level car. The cloth interior is very nice.

(which means: keep the cost down so you can pull 'em off and put custom wheels on your Camaro if you so desire......)

I called the floor manager earlier this evening to tell him to take the barrier away from the LS -- as that car has a finished interior and people can get in and out of it.

(.....is that a stampede I hear????........)

Guess I should have held off one more day. Today was so insanely busy around the Camaros that I was only able to spend a short amount of time looking them over. Good for Chevy, bad for me. If the LS is going to be open, I'll stop by on the way home from work one evening this week and go sit in my next car (without the crowds and without the family and with $16 less in my wallet).

Thanks Scott!!!

PS: The magician guy at the Chevy booth was entertaining - my kids got a kick out of him. They spent the rest of the afternoon making things "disappear" and trying to figure out how he did the things he did with the TV on the display.

I was there when they received the call from Scott. And YES that was a stampede you heard Scott I was standing by the drivers door as they were taking down the ropes but was quickly pushed aside and was unable to get inside the car (from either side) for atleast 45 minutes. Literally as soon as the rope came down that car was mobbed for the rest of the day, it was insane. I kept over hearing people all day complain about not being able to sit in them but by the end those people were in love with the Camaro and complaining about not being able to sit in the new Mustang, it was great. I even managed to convince to men to cancel mustang orders and buy a Camaro.

Haha, after all that us Camaro5.com enthusiasts know about the Camaro, we should be considered salesmen. Hell, we're doing a better job than most dealerships across the nation in getting people interested in the Camaro.

^Ain't that the truth!...No disrespect to all the salesmen here. Ya'll are doing a fine job!

I think the steallies look pretty would look badass on either a black or silver car. w/ possible silver or black stripes. someone'll do it, so we'll see.

Skidmark · 01-27-2009, 10:21 PM

are there any other rims that you can buy that will look ALOT better?

Define "a lot of money". There will be optional rims, plus lots of aftermarket wheels if you've got the means.

Yes. You should be able to buy them over the parts counter at the dealership as "replacements."

The black painted wheels are standard on the LS model only......1LT and 2LT and SS get different wheels.
