Bought an LT, looking for heritage wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

jimmyh · 09-22-2010, 02:44 PM

I have been considering an SS for a while now. I used to have a CTS-V, and really missed the V8. But in the end, with a 90 mile commute, I could not justify the extra cost and fuel. Plus this thing is pretty quick as it is.

I know most people are going to say "what?!?" but I really like the heritage wheels. I have always been a big fan of steel wheels and their inherent unsprung weight savings. Plus I need something better for the winter than Pzeros. Anyone out there have a set they are looking to part with?

Lastly, anyone know if it is possible to add the Homelink buttons?

2011 1LT, RS, Boston Acoustics, USB and Bluetooth.

The Heritage wheels weigh more than your 1LT wheels...just fyi.

Bunch of sets beig sold on craigslist for $400 a set.

local? I searched last week and found nothing.

interesting that the alloys are lighter. Never heard of steel wheels being heavier than allows.

Now that sounds like a good deal.

I would offer you mine, but have already sold two of them individually as full size spares. If anyone is interested in one of my remaining wheels/tires PM me an offer!

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Can someone confirm the heritage wheels 7.5" width?

camaro guy · 09-22-2010, 06:36 PM

i tried giving mine away at shipping price last year and after 60 days of no bites i tossed them.

camaro guy · 09-22-2010, 06:37 PM

jimmyh · 09-22-2010, 06:37 PM

steel is weaker though. bend super easy.

I saw some other posts on how heavy they are and that surprises me. Back in the day, I had a Maxima, and my 17" alloys and tires were 45lbs each. My 15" steels with tires was 27 lbs. And you could feel the difference. The car felt more lively with the lighter steel wheels. Of course the tires were narrow winter tires, and the lower traction on pavement offset the weight advantage.
