Back in a Camaro...again
I traded my 2022 1SS 1LE for an order C8 Z51 coupe.. I traded the C8 and the daily Jeep on an F150 Raptor. The C8 was the most boring sports car I've owned. Sexy to look at. Fun to drive hard but on a daily basis, it was just not me. Plus, I'll always be a manual guy. Plus, i have kids....
I came across a low mile 2023 1SS convertible with Recaros and just bought it. Happy to be back. Now who has a set of 1LE wheels they want to sell me ? hahah

Looks great!
Like arpad_m said, 1LE just don't come up and now with the Camaro out of production they are going to be as scarce as Hen's teeth... I recently (a few months ago) bought a set of MRR017 1LE Replica Wheels, less than 1/2 price of the OEM wheels and I've been very happy with them and absolutely LOVE the look (I am VERY picky on stuff for my car!)... I would recommend just biting the bullet and going this route... (I also went from 245/40 & 275/35 to 285/30 & 305/30 which I absolutely love as I now have so much more traction on the launch it is amazing!) BEFORE: AFTER:

The MMR wheels for the money can't be beat, you get a set of four for what one OEM would cost, that and you can get them in black as well. I purchased the Z28 wheels in black for my all-seasons just to mix it up and they are decent quality, you'll need lug nuts also btw. I don't think many 1LE folks are parting with the OEM wheels so it may be a long wait. Nice car OP.

I did a similar thing recently, changing cars like my underwear over here.
I went from a 2017 ZL1 (engine blew, lemon lawed and bought back) to an 18 SS 1LE, to a 997 911 Carerra S and now back in a 2022 SS 1LE. I test drove a few GT350's and a Mach 1 and although I loved the way the GT350 sounded, I just couldn't do it. There were all kinds of body quality issues and potential for that engine to grenade so I figured I had to get back into a Camaro. I couldn't be happier and I'm really hoping this one sticks around for quite some time. |
