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 paint job to its eye catching rims, Corey Jones' car is causing
00:19a stir in his hometown of Chicago.
00:21004 005
00:22I actually took a whole city and helped put them on the map for the car game.
00:26006
00:27Corey has been building custom cars since 2008 and believes his green Camaro inspired
00:32others in the city.
00:34He first noticed the craze for big rims coming out of Florida, USA.
00:38007
00:38I just kind of fed off of what was going on out there and wanted to bring it to my city.
00:44008
00:44When it came to customizing his own car, Corey knew exactly what he wanted.
00:49009
00:49I designed the whole car from top to bottom. I like big rims on cars. It was amazing.
00:570010
00:57I was really excited to see a Camaro on 32 inch rims. Once I got a visual of the color
01:02I wanted to go, I went to my painter and we mixed up some paint until I got the color
01:06that I wanted. And it came out better than I wanted.
01:090011
01:09But Corey's Camaro is not just about big rims and a unique paint job. The interior
01:14of the car is also bespoke, including custom speakers and TV screens in the doors and dashboard.
01:21Even standard door handles are too ordinary for this car.
01:230012
01:24These buttons here open the door. Pop them open. It took them about a month and a half
01:29to paint it. It took them four days to do the interior and about three days to do the
01:34door panels.
01:350013
01:36His Camaro, worth an estimated $95,000, was customized at the car shop where Corey and
01:42his friend Rico work.
01:430014
01:44Corey's a perfectionist. He wants his vehicle to look a certain way and that's what we're
01:48known for. That's what a lot of people know us for. It's unique. There's nothing like
01:52it. A lot of people assume that you put big wheels on a car, it's always going to rub
01:55and that's not the case with this car.
01:570015
01:57I'm used to it, so it performs as if I had the regular rims on there. You've got to make
02:02sure that the job is done right, so I have no problem turning. I can do a full U-turn.
02:060016
02:07Corey is constantly approached by people on the street and has won awards for his tricked
02:11out ride.
02:120017
02:12Actually, I've won a lot of awards this year. Pretty much every car show I went to this
02:17year.
02:170018
02:17This is the most important trophy to me because I've been going a lot of years and haven't
02:22took a trophy from there. It was second place, domestic mild at the Chicago dub show.
02:270019
02:31Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion. I just love her.
