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.

00:14From its slick green paintjob to its eye catching rims, Kory Jones car is causing a stir in
00:20his home town of Chicago.
00:2102. Kory Jones Cup
00:22I actually took a whole city and helped put them on the map for the car day.
00:26COREY HAS BEEN BUILDING CUSTOM CARS SINCE 2008 AND BELIEVES HIS GREEN CAMARO INSPIRED
00:32OTHERS IN THE CITY.
00:34HE FIRST NOTICED THE CRAVES FOR BIG RIMS COMING OUT OF FLORIDA, USA.
00:38COREY I just kind of fed off of what was going on
00:41out there and wanted to bring it to my city.
00:44COMMS When it came to customizing his own car,
00:47Corey knew exactly what he wanted.
00:49COREY I designed the whole car from top to bottom.
00:53I like big rims on cars.
00:56It was amazing to see a Camaro on 32-inch rims.
01:00Once I got a visual of the color I wanted to go, I went to my painter and we mixed up
01:04some paint until I got the color that I wanted and it came out better than I wanted.
01:09COMMS But Corey's Camaro is not just about big
01:12rims and a unique paint job.
01:14The interior of the car is also bespoke, including custom speakers and TV screens in the doors
01:19and dashboard.
01:21Even standard door handles are too ordinary for this car.
01:24COREY These buttons here open the door, pop them
01:26open.
01:27It took them about a month and a half to paint it.
01:29It took them four days to do the interior and about three days to do the door panels.
01:35COMMS His Camaro, worth an estimated $95,000, was
01:40customized at the car shop where Corey and his friend Rico work.
01:43RICO Corey's a perfectionist.
01:44He wants his vehicle to look a certain way and that's what we're known for.
01:48That's what a lot of people know us for.
01:50It's unique.
01:51There's nothing like it.
01:52A lot of people assume that you put big wheels on a car, it's always going to rub and that's
01:55not the case with this car.
01:56COREY I'm used to it, so it performs as if I had
01:59the regular rims on there.
02:00You've got to make sure that the job is done right, so I have no problem turning.
02:04I can do a full U-turn.
02:06COMMS Corey is constantly approached by people on
02:08the street and has won awards for his tricked out ride.
02:12COREY Actually, I've won a lot of awards this year,
02:14pretty much every car show I went to this year.
02:17It's the most important trophy to me because I've been going a lot of years and haven't
02:21took a trophy from there.
02:22It was second place domestic mile at the Chicago Dub show.
02:30Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion.
02:34I just love him.
