Smile New Chrome ZL1 Replica Wheels- Updates !

Just got these installed this past weekend . These Don't have ZL1 stamped on them they just looks like them .

I stayed with the stock 20x8 35M on the Front and 20x9 40M on the rear. I did go with the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp2 Tires 275/40R20 & BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp2 Tires 245/45R20 .

Not had a chance to put many miles on them but so far I'm pleased No road noise and a pretty smooth ride .

Just a quick pic and not the best shot . the car was just backed out the drive way and hadn't even settle yet .

I know some don't care for Chrome but what do you think ?

Here is something I had planned on doing when I got the wheels but I couldn't wait to install them . Now I have added some Black Vinyl to the inside spokes to kinda set the wheel off a bit . - Not as much Chrome and I think it looks Better than All chrome .

I have been looking at this post over and over again. I really like these and I can't believe how low in cost they are. I may have to jump here!

Sorry but they don't look just like them, they look like a variant of them, or a b-grade. Your mind is playing tricks on you, trying to justify the reason why you bought a replica. :( But they look good on your car though. Good set of replicas.

I like it but why doesn't gm shut these rims down? I guess they are not as popular as the other ones.

I guess you know what your talking about I have 2 friends that Have ZL1's and setting side by side you can't tell the difference other than there set has ZL1 stamped in them . So call them "B-grade " if you want . And No my mind isn't playing tricks on me , I know Exactly what I bought .

As for why I bought them .. I didn't want something with ZL1 on them and I didn't want that size tire on the car . Do you have any idea what Real ZL1 Wheels and Tires cost ?- I'm sure you do sense you know my wheels are not real .
I got this complete set up for a Third of the cost of Real ZL1 wheels . No I don't have loads of $$$ so I bought what I could afford and what I thought would look good on the car And Something I haven't seen on anyone else's car .. Yet .
But thanks for your input

Nothing wrong with those at all. More importantly, as long as you are happy with them WGAS?

looks great!

someone asked why GM doesn't shut these down... well give it time I'm sure... but would like to point out that whoever makes these forgot to come on camaro5 and take pre-orders :-)
