This will be the standard wheel for the LS model only.

and its a shame that if i'd buy one i'd have to shell out more money for aftermarket rims just to look decent when both the mustang and challenger have decent rims on them and they are cheaper to buy.

Would you trade the 3.6 DOHC for a 3.5 or 3.9 OHV in order to get standard aluminum wheels?

For $1635, not much more than aftermarket wheels and tires, you can upgrade from an LS to a 1LT, which does have aluminum wheels standard along with foglights and a few other goodies.

I ain't gonna lie, Camaro came in a little pricier than I was hoping, but I think they spent the money where it counts.

Ford has done an excellent job keeping Mustang price of entry low, but there are some compromises there.

Berlinetas did not have those wheels (or anything like that)

Then you want an LT. I think the only reason the LS exists is to advertise its base price.

but that pushes the price up even more so against the mustang/challengers.

If you don't order any of the optional packages, 1LT adds aluminum wheels, foglights, floormats and OnStar. Seems like it's still pretty basic to me.

Let me guess "OnStar kills it for me. I really didn't want OnStar."

like i said it pushes the price up.

plus it adds a power seat. i think.

and it doesn't "kill it" for me but i would rather not have onstar. well i just looked and onstar is standard even on the LS.


i'd like the LS to have the 19" ones standard.

Yes, they're doing the exact same thing now. They have to rack up something like ~1,000,000 miles on the cars (I think that's a sum of them all, not individually!) before they can be declared releasable for sale. At least that's what I heard .

i'd like the LS to have the 19" ones standard.

Seats: front Sport bucket, includes power recliners, adjustable head restraints are listed as standard across the board on the .pdf at chevrolet.com/camaro

If the LS had the 19" wheels standard, it would likely be as much as the 1LT. It simply wouldn't provide the price differentiation that they would need.

Not saying it wouldn't be nice, but I'm sure there's a good reason. If they could have put 19" alloys on the LS at $23,999 they would have.

I wish the car came standard with a set of 17's! Heck, 18" tires can get pricey!!! 19's?!?!?!? 20's!?!??!?!! Yikes!!

BUT, looking at those steel 18's, I actually think they're not too bad ... from the ~10' angled shot, they appear to blend right in to the black car in the pics. And they do have a reminiscent "rally wheel" look to them w/the trim rings .

i'd rather they have 17's too but then they'd look real small in the wheel well.
