I've had my Camaro 20's on for about six months now over the CTS-V v1 front calipers and have been pleased with them overall. Besides the weight drawback, the only other problem is the lug nuts. The stock Camaro lugs are two-piece and fit a 22mm hex; the cover part that the hex interfaces with is expanding and getting stuck in the socket which is very annoying. Because of this I started looking for solid lugs to replace them with and found one that works very well. Discount Tire had them for $3 each; they are actually made for Mopars by Gorilla - P/N 61148CX. I've attached a picture of the wheel with three of the new ones installed and two of the stock ones for comparison in case this is of interest to anyone else.

One of my customers in Indiana welds the bubble tops to lug nuts for one of the big 3.
The steel jacketed lug nuts are a pain.
