The 1LE is an SS with ZL1 rims.

1le's have ZL1 wheels- just squint so you cant see the hood wrap

true I forgot, the hood wrap is what visually dominates the 1lE's. Just trying to see them on a non 1LE. I want these wheels but I just want to make sure they look good enough to justify spending $$.

There are a couple companies that make replica ZL1 10 spoke wheels. In fact, I'm running a set of polished finish on my car as you can see in my sig below. I LOVE them.

NO WAY I'd pay for a factory set when you can get these at a fraction of the cost.

The ones I got are made by Factory reproductions:

They have the best pricing and also offer their repro wheel in many different sizes (including exact ZL1 size and offset) and finishes and are great quality. Its definitely the best selling wheel I've seen on this site.

The other option is the wheel made by LG Motorsports.

The only offer the wheel in one size (ZL1 size and offset) and are more expensive, but their wheel does look more like the real factory wheel.

Both of these wheels are great quality, and they aren't much heavier than the real ZL1 wheels. In fact, they are lighter than the stock 20" SS/RS wheels.

Now....go buy a set of these and forget spending 3 times as much on a factory set.

The 1LE has the same ZL1 front wheels, the rear wheels on the ZL1 are wider. Same wheel design all around of course.

Your car looks mean man. I like it especially with those red calipers.
So these wheels should fit on the SS w/ stock Brembos no problem?

Yep, you will need to relocate or tie up/back the e-brake cables on the rear. they will rub from time to time if you don't.

ackeight · 09-24-2013, 07:22 PM

Nope no pictures at all

. I bought the factory ones because they are noticeably lighter than cast wheels.

The 1LE has the same rim setup as the ZL1. The difference is the 1LE has 285's all around.
