I for one like the wheels, when you see them on the tester car they have a lot more sculpting then what appears in this studio photo. We can assume though that there will be other choices. I wonder if this is the top trip "RS" wheel.

It's not my "opinion". I took the time to post what I did to support this.
When has anyone ever said the C6 ZO6, AMG, or 458 Italia wheel was "just OK" ??? Ok, dude.


There is NOTHING "just OK" about a split spoke 5-STAR rim:

nice bokah

Looking at these wheels on the test(?) Car they look to have a bit of concave. I don't mind the wheels and they do look a lot better on the car than just as a standalone piece. Personally nothing I own has stock wheels on it for long so this isn't a huge concern for me but I'm starting to like this whole release teasers on set dates

I like them, very 3rd gen iroc inspired. ☺️

Hope they really do keep the hex key style lugs too!

You mean bigger rotors?

Even though the pad surface area is the same, you can gain better braking performance by moving the calipers farther out from the center point of the rotor.

Why can't GM stick with a tried and true split spoke 5-STAR wheel like AMG always has?
The only time GM got it right was with the C6 ZO6 rim.





CCW 505a




AMG always offers a split 5 spoke star wheel[/B]






The Ferrari 458 Italia has the most perfect wheel ever in my opinion











The "leaked" 2016 Camaro wheel looks like the 2015 Audi S3 wheel, and that is NOT a good thing.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. To me the ones you posted are pretty much all ugly. lol I really like the ones they have chosen. Hopefully for everyone they will have a selection of different ones to choose from. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

But I'm not going to get into a dumb argument over this. But this IS your opinion. Your quote above " When has anyone ever said the C6 ZO6, AMG, or 458 Italia wheel was "just OK" ??? Ok, dude. " is an opinion.

You may think the 458 wheel is the best ever. I don't. end of story.

I love that you quoted the smileys. I'm not a fan of most of the wheels posted, and I think that the Ferrari wheels would look horrible on the Camaro. Those wheels belong on something small and sleek, like a Ferrari.

I personally would rather have 20s than 19s, just to have more options in tires. I would also like to see a split 5 spoke with a bigger gap splitting the spokes. Having a wheel option in either a black or brushed finish would be sweet. I'm not much of a fan of shiny metal finishes.

I think these two would be awesome as options. I may go in this direction if the something like one of these aren't offered:

I may be misunderstanding your post, but are not the wheels revealed today a "split 5-spoke"? As others have said, these wheels remind me of the current, optional ZL1 wheels.

Also, the S3 wheels look a lot like the Stingray's Z51/ZF1 wheels.

[ChocoTaco369]

HATE the wheels. Of course, that can be "fixed." What's depressing to see is Eagle F1's. Will this be another Camaro that needs $1,000 in new rubber to drive 12 months a year? If they want to stick these things on a 1LE, ZL1 or Z2/8 equivalent, so be it, but I hope they outfit the SS with a high performance all-season this time. When you spend $30-40K on a new car, another $1,000 in rubber so you can actually drive the car you bought is a lousy proposition.

Ok, pal.

I also disagree with you "pal", the c6 Z06 rims are hideous in today's standards. The 505's are a step up from stock but I would never buy them. The Amg rims are nice and fit THAT car well. If you think the 458 rims would look correct on the Camaro body there are many places that will offer them. They will look horrible on a Camaro, of course just my opinion. Of All factory rims on the market today (not talking about super cars) the Z28's are my favorite. The rims they showed today will be very fitting on the 6th Gen. I'm not drooling over them but I also dont have plans to purchase an ss so it doesn't matter to me much. Im hoping the next gen Zl1/z28 will offer current z28 style rims.

Your opinion and I disagree. I prefer the C5 Z06 wheels.

Can't see how you perfer the c6 rims over c7
