Wheels on ZL1

Anyone here running aftermarket wheels on their ZL1? Been looking the last day Or two. Can't seem to find many ZL1's with aftermarket wheels. Looking for ideas!

Post pics please.

Good wheels may be a bit "expensive" but as much as the ZL1 costs why not save a bunch of unsprung weight and get a great looking set of forged wheels?

And that's true, there are many many benefits to a Forged wheel, though I would like to say the FF04's that I posted previously pass the same TUV certification testing that our Forged wheels do, so if you're looking to save some of that cash for other mods, these wheels will hold up like a Forged wheel does, without the larger price tag.

So true, Jurrian. I have opted for two sets of the monoblocks and I couldn't be happier. FF for those on a budget and monoblocks for those that aren't as much. At any rate, lighter and stronger as well as much much better looking is good.

A generation or two ago GM made pretty, hi pressure cast wheels that were light as well as strong. These past few years they are not nearly as light or nearly as pretty and the stories of bent wheels abound with the cars running in Sport mode on less than perfect roads.

Less for looks and more for performance and unsprung weight reduction...

In the past....
Some guys were selling 19" and 20" replicas of Z28 Gen5 tires!
I don't remember who, but I've seen those on eBay...

Do you know if somebody will propose replicas of Zl1-1LE tires but in 20" that we don't have to cheat the place working on the struts or spacers???
That we can have the 1LE look on our std ZL1 staying 20"....

I spoke to HRE a few weeks ago and they were working on the wheel fitment for the ZL1 1LE.
