This is why the machined 5 spoke says "ZL1" on them, and the black 10 spoke says "Camaro".

Nope - ZL1 hit the streets in 2012 with the black 10 spokes as the standard wheel (and for all ZL1 years 2012-15). The polished 5 spoke wheels (like I have) were a $900 option. I suspect GM already planned to use the 10 spoke black rims for the '13 1LE, so that is why they were stamped with the Camaro lettering and not ZL1......but the ZL1 wore them first, a full year before the 1LE was introduced.
