Custom Green Camaro Sits On Massive 32-inch Rims | Ridiculous Rides
CAR-lover Corey Jones has customised his Camaro with a massive set of 32-inch rims. Corey from Illinois, has been building custom cars for six years. He got his first car at age 17 and since then has owned over ten custom cars - but considers his green Camaro his best build to date. He believes his car, which features rims twice as big as the standard set, has inspired his hometown of Chicago, USA to join a new car culture.

00:00 00;00;00;21 00;00;05;22 COMM: From its slick green paint job to its eye-catching rims,
00:18 Corey Jones' car is causing a stir in his hometown of Chicago.
00:21 00;00;05;22 00;00;08;22 COREY JONES I actually took a whole city and helped put them on the
00:25 map for the car game.
00:26 00;00;08;22 00;00;10;22 COMM: Corey has been building custom cars since 2008 and believes
00:30 his green Camaro inspired others in the city.
00:34 00;00;10;22 00;00;15;22 He first noticed the craze for big rims coming out of Florida,
00:38 USA.
00:39 00;00;15;22 00;00;20;22 COREY JONES I just kind of fed off of what was going on out there
00:41 and wanted to bring it to my city.
00:43 00;00;20;22 00;00;24;22 COMM: When it came to customising his own car, Corey knew exactly
00:48 what he wanted.
00:49 00;00;24;22 00;00;29;22 COREY JONES I designed the whole car from top to bottom.
00:53 I like big rims on cars.
00:55 Like, it was amazing to see a Camaro on 32 inch rims.
01:00 Once I got a visual of the colour I wanted to go, I went to my painter and we mixed up
01:04 some paint until I got the colour that I wanted.
01:07 And it came out better than I wanted.
01:08 00;00;39;00 00;00;45;00 COMM: But Corey's Camaro is not just about big rims and a unique paint
01:13 job.
01:14 The interior of the car is also bespoke, including custom speakers and TV screens in the doors
01:19 and dashboard.
01:21 Even standard door handles are too ordinary for this car.
01:23 00;00;50;00 00;00;54;00 COREY JONES These buttons here open the door.
01:26 Pop them open.
01:27 It took them about a month and a half to paint it.
01:29 It took them four days to do the interior and about three days to do the door panels.
01:35 00;01;00;00 00;01;06;00 COMM: His Camaro, worth an estimated $95,000, was customised at the
01:41 car shop where Corey and his friend Rico work.
01:43 00;01;08;00 00;01;14;00 RICO JONES Corey's a perfectionist, you know, he wants his vehicle
01:46 to look a certain way and that's what we're known for.
01:48 That's what a lot of people know us by.
01:50 It's unique, you know, there's nothing like it.
01:52 A lot of people assume that, you know, you put big wheels on a car, it's always going
01:55 to rub and that's not the case with this car.
01:56 00;01;15;00 00;01;20;00 COREY JONES I'm used to it, so it performs as if I had the regular
02:00 rims on there.
02:01 Like, you gotta make sure that the job is done right, so I have no problem turning.
02:05 I can do a full U-turn.
02:06 00;01;22;00 00;01;28;00 COMM: Corey is constantly approached by people on the street and has
02:10 won awards for his tricked out ride.
02:12 00;01;30;00 00;01;35;00 COREY JONES Actually, I've won a lot of awards this year.
02:15 Pretty much every car show I went to this year.
02:17 It's the most important trophy to me, because I've been going a lot of years and haven't
02:22 took a trophy from there.
02:23 And it was second place, domestic mile at the Chicago Dub Show.
02:31 Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion.
02:35 I just love her.
