Won't be any hatin from me - you see what you see and that's cool by me. I guess some people don't like the Camaro wheels - I think they're pretty slick. The only think I don't like, and this goes for every newer American car on the road just about, is that the spokes come out to the lip ... no dish. But I wanted a factory look to this design ... like maybe something Chevy could actually produce.

And about the Challenger thing, I dunno what to tell you about that. It's all Camaro, I just changed the wheel wells. I'm fairly confident that they are unmistakably 69 Camaro. I didn't alter and rear body proportions. The color is based on the Hennessey Camaro metallic orange that I found digging through Google but orange is orange I guess and most of the first Challengers released were orange. To me no single color belongs on any single car so they don't bring up any visual ties for me really. I mean if something is going to be "plum crazy" it should probably be on a MOPAR but beyond unique factory colors like that it's fair game.
