The Final 4 (Mecca, Monza, VS3s, SV1 Forged SV5) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

PatrickfromMD · 05-18-2012, 04:10 PM

Hey gang, It seems like I’ve been trying to make a decision for ever. (like 58k miles worth) I would like your opinion on my top wheel choices.

Giovanna Mecca Wheels (22x 9 /10.5) chrome w/ cyber grey face ($XXXX.xx)*

Giovanna Monza Wheels (22x 9 /10.5) chrome w/ cyber grey face ($XXXX.xx)*

Vossen CV-3 (22x 9 /10.5) ?? w/ cyber grey face ($XXXX.xx + apx $700.00)*

SV1 Forged SV5s (22x 9.5 /11) chrome w/ 2 tone cyber grey face ($XXXX.xx + apx $1500.00)
(* includes the possibility of about $500 for custom finishing)
3 piece SV1 forged in step lip 22s are my favorite, but the priciest.

Tires are going to have to be a slightly taller than stock (.6 and .7 inch) 22 to get a decent sidewall. Currently the best option is VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SUV SESSANTA TIRES 315/30R22 and 265/35R22 so I’m planning to go with these.
Would appreciate opinions.

Yea, I really like them. I'd be doing the 22s in stepped lip and 2 tone faces (cyber grey vs. black shown on the pics)
They list $5200 (22s) and $4400 on 20s. The will work with you a bit on that. I went direct. The thing about thoses, you can have any width and offset you want. That last pic is a guy on the forumn that has them with the normal faces. His are 9.5 and 11s in width

Sickwitit · 05-18-2012, 07:44 PM

Can go wrong with either option...but those Sv1's look pretty nice...goodluck with your choice...but if your going to run 315 why not go with a wider wheel (11) it will be a better fit...but the 10.5 will fit that tire based on Nine"s charts.
Good luck.

I'm in agreement with ya, thats one of the selling points of the SV1 forged, I can get them in 11s (or 11.5 if I want to push it)
The other manufactures, only go to 10.5 to allow fitments with other cars such as the BMW 5 series and 7 series I'm told

I'm told the Audi (shown 1st) has 22x9 and 22 x 10.5 just like for the Camaro, just this application has different offsets

I'm not sure what sizes this Beemer (shown 2nd) has

So, of the 4 styles what do you like?

camaro_RS · 05-19-2012, 03:57 PM

Vossen....no question in my mind. All nice wheels though so good luck!!

TaylorRyanSS · 05-19-2012, 06:32 PM

I like the Monzas

Vossen, I do like those. I really want to have a cyber grey face, and it seems its comes ALL grey or ALL silver and I'm not even sure if theor gray matches the factory cyber grey. (and I really don't want 100% grey) I'll consider it if I can get an idea of what can be done in terms of finishing them.

These were my 1st reasonably priced wheel that caught my attention. I was not thrilled of the 20 inch silver ones on a camaro5 members car (not bad, just not me), but these two tone versions with grey centers in 22s could look awesome. I wish there were pics available that showed this option.

Anyone else have some thoughts?

SSmoothie · 05-22-2012, 10:38 PM

The SV-1 are really nice, I don't regret buy them except I don't get to drive my car that much, bought it 2 year ago and only have 2200 miles on it. I liked them because they were similar to my Simmons Wheels on my Impala SS. Here are some more pics of my SV-1 with steplip.

Wheels when I got them.
