HELP!.....Z28 or SS 1LE replica for ZL1-1LE

Crushed 1LE · 09-16-2020, 06:48 PM

Hey guys. Need help.

The local track here has finally opened up, and I need another set of rims. I really, really, really have got a hard-on for the Z28 style, or the rims that come with the 6th gen SS-1LE.

1. Has anyone come across a direct sizing replacement in either of these styles?I don't want to run spacers, but am prepared to go to a 20 inch rim. MMR has something close, but are only available in gloss black - I'm looking for satin finish. And I don't think the rear rims are wide enough.

2. Also looking for the exact specs for the front & rear ZL1-1LE rims, including width and offset and anything else I would need when shopping around to try and find a replacement.

Don't really care if they are 1, 2 or 3 piece. Prefer non Chinese

Where I live I see too many V6 Camaros with the Z28 wheel. I’d like to be a bit more original. I went with BC forged wheels. Of course this is just my opinion but ultimately you should get whatever you like.

I hear ya on the non-Chinese thing, but for what it's worth, the OEM wheels are made in China.

Just noticed that you're in a ZLE. Not sure if your factory wheels are manufactured in China like the std ZL1 parts. It would be interesting to know.

Apex is the way to go. They have OEM ZLE spec wheels that are light, strong and reasonable.

Apex it is. Thanks. Pics to follow when they arrive.
