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.

00:15From its slick green paint job to its eye catching rims, Corey Jones' car is causing
00:19a stir in his hometown of Chicago.
00:2100.04 COREY JONES I actually took a whole city and helped
00:24put them on the map for the car game.

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.
00:3800.06 COREY JONES I just kind of fed off of what was going
00:41on out there and wanted to bring it to my city.

00:44When it came to customizing his own car, Corey knew exactly what he wanted.
00:4800.14 COREY JONES 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.

01:10But Corey's Camaro is not just about big rims 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.
01:2400.36 COREY JONES 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.
01:36His Camaro, worth an estimated $95,000, was customized at the car shop where Corey and
01:42his friend Rico work.
01:4300.44 COREY JONES 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.
02:00Like, 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.
02:0600.50 COMMERCIAL Corey is constantly approached by people
02:09on the street and has won awards for his tricked out ride.
02:12Actually, I've won a lot of awards this year, pretty much every car show I went to this
02:17year.
02:18This 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.
02:23And it was second place, domestic mild at the Chicago dub show.
02:31Camaro is the hottest car out, in my opinion.
02:35I just love her.
