No need, factory studs work fine.

Unless you mean lug nuts, in that case they're here :

That looks great. I was thinking about a 19" setup from auto-x and track days. If you don't mind me asking, what did the wheel/tire setup run you?

Are they the same ET25 on all 4 corners and did you need spacers or anything? I see they have 19x11 wheels as well. Are these offered in the correct rear offset?

EDIT: Just looked on their website. Very affordable wheels, especially being on sale right now https://www.apexraceparts.com/wheels...s-7-wheel.html

They don't have regularly stocked 11" width 19s with the correct offset. They are doing a group buy for that exact thing though! https://www.groupbuyparts.com/index....l-q1-2017.html (only a few days left, I think).

Only problem with these (and all other Apex wheels at the moment) is that the hub bore doesn't match our cars, so you'll need a hub centric spacer, and you'll need to be extra careful when installing the wheels to avoid balance/vibration issues. Apparently they're considering doing Camaro fitments one day in the future, but there's no way to know exactly what fitments they'll make, or when they'll be available. Personally I think 19" versions of the 1LE/ZL1 fitments (10" and 11") would be perfect.

Yeah I agree a 19x10 front and 19x11 rear with the correct offsets would be great. Does anyone actually offer a setup like this with the correct offsets (and made for harsh duty) for our cars yet without stepping up to an expensive 3 piece wheel?

I paid a little over 1100 to the door, I bought them on the December sale.

Tires were another 1300 installed, and thats WITH a employee discount from bridgestone

I have all 4 at ET 25, no spacers needed, no rubbing, and I am running 285/35/19 on all corners

The hub difference has caused no problem, I bought hub centric adapters on ebay, something like 10$ for composite ones, I ran them with and without, no change in drivability, no vibration or balance issues what so ever.

tecmec · 02-03-2017, 10:55 AM

I'm just sitting here trying to decide if I want to go ahead with the group buy for the 11s, or wait and see if they make a direct Camaro fitment in the size I want. I'm sure the hub ring thing isn't a huge deal, but it would be nice to have a direct fit.

I was going back and forth between 1LE setup (replica from MRR plus Supercar 3 tires) or 19" square setup. After looking at yours, I'm leaning toward 19 inches now. Lighter wheels, Rotatable (front to rear), maybe little cheaper tires...... Hmmmmmmm...

Oh, looks very good by the way.

Yeah, the exact figures have already slipped my mind, but I believe I ended up saving around 35 lbs of un sprung weight from factory.

35 lbs saving of rotational unsprung mass is awesome.

I'm actually gonna get the exact wheels in Anthracite. (I love these type of spoke wheels so I was looking at MRR's FS01 or TSW's Nurburgring. This is great deal with the look I wanted!)
Thanks for info!

Now I gotta find a set of hub centric rings... something like this is all I need, right?

JeromeS13 · 02-03-2017, 12:01 PM

Whenever you get around to taking them off next time, would you mind weighing each combination of front and rear? I'm just curious.

I can, I think I might've posted elsewhere if you search my post history as well

He has four of the same wheel/tire combos. Only has to weigh one.

I jave 52.6lbs for my setup. Slightly smaller. Cut close to 8lbs up front and 10lbs out back.
His should be around the same.

Eric SS · 02-06-2017, 10:52 PM

I've been going back and forth on getting these in Anthracite during the sale. I've been going to the site and looking over and over. I just went on and it said "only 4 left" so I decided to jump on it! You can't beat this sale for track proven wheels. $976 shipped to my door.
