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.

00:000012 From its slick green paint job to its eye catching
00:17rims, Cory Jones' car is causing a stir in his hometown of Chicago.
00:21CORY I actually took a whole city and helped put
00:25them on the map by the car gang.
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, COREY 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
01:11RIMS 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 open.
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.
01:36HIS CAMARO, WORTH AN ESTIMATED $95,000, WAS CUSTOMIZED AT THE CAR SHOP WHERE COREY AND
01:42HIS FRIEND RICO WORK.
01:43RICO Corey's a perfectionist, you know, he wants
01:45his vehicle to look a certain way and that's what we're known for, that's what a lot of
01:49people know us for.
01:50It's unique, you know, there's nothing like it.
01:52A lot of people assume that, you know, you put big wheels on a car, it's always going
01:55to rub and that's not the case with this car.
01:57I'm used to it, so it performs as if I had the regular rims on there.
02:01Like, you've got to make sure that the job is done right, so I have no problem turning,
02:05I can do a full U-turn.
02:07COREY IS CONSTANTLY APPROACHED BY PEOPLE ON THE STREET AND HAS WON AWARDS FOR HIS TRICKED
02:11OUT RIDE.
02:12Actually, I've won a lot of awards this year, pretty much every car show I went to this
02:17year.
02:18Camaro is the most important trophy to me, because I've been going a lot of years and
02:22haven't took a trophy from there.
02:23And it was second place, domestic mile, at the Chicago Dub Show.
02:31Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion.
02:35I just love her.
