I like the Rallys on it.
They're a subtle & refreshing wink to the past.

Given the choice of only two, I think the ralleys are my preference. I've seen so many TT's or TT influenced wheel designs these days I have begun to be turned off.

I don't know enough about the challenges of making a custom wheel for the New Camaro, but the TTs as pictured look so much like the same old thing. Maybe a straight spoke, maybe not?

I've always felt you had to have a pretty bad a$$ car to pull of balck rims without looking like a poser. Part of me would love to see what regular old steel hoops could look loike on these cars. Chrome lug nuts or some other accent cap migh be kinda cool.

To come full circle, the ralley would help in giving the car a distinguished look, possibly unique to this special car. Don't worry abot this too much. I think a wheel change is probably the most popular car mod ever. People will buy what they like to look at and put the original wheels aside.

...What about a set of Grey Spoke with brushed silver trim like the Minilite....or Penske Trans Am Wheels? I would prefer them grey or dark grey ..opposed to a color like yellow like on the Penske Trans Am car....Hmmm?

How about a modern rendition of MotorWheel Spyders? A very cool wheel that was offered in the original Yenko catalog.

Ding, ding, ding; we have a winner! A modern interpretation of the Spyder would look awesome on the new Camaro.
