My biggest complaint with the OEM wheels besides being a bitch to clean is that they don’t provide enough contrast with darker colors.

It’s the primary reason I went with HRE wheels in their liquid metal finish on my MBM ZL1.

I couldn’t agree with you more about that Hawk. At a minimum, I wish GM would’ve offered a “machined/bright” version of our wheels as an option. I also think they look great against the darker paint colors. JMO…. In any case, both your and the OP wheels look phenomenal…

Did you notice any difference in performance? If my math is correct you should have shed a little over 40lbs of rotational mass. Any difference?

I’ve only done a couple of short drives near the house. I can definitely tell a difference in braking response and steering response. Seems like the car spins easier but it’s also 40 degrees outside so the lighter wheels probably aren’t the deciding factor in that equation.

I’d love to hit the road course and get some better feedback but it will be a while before that can happen. On a different note, they sure do look better than OEM lol. Sorry I don’t have more info to report yet but I’ll try to get out there as much as I can and report back.

Those are some pretty wheels, they go very well with the blue color!

They look great! I wish they had these available when I purchased my SM10,s for my track tires. I have had the best service from Apex as well.

So far I love the wheels, but the black center caps have were triggering my OCD. So I ordered the GM Bowtie machined finish center caps. Much better IMHO.

Good choice. I bought these caps for my 19" apex wheels on my ZL1. Completes the look of the wheel

WOW! I'm really liking the look and the stance of these wheels on a Camaro! I'm not very good at photoshop, but this is making me serious think I need to ordering 4 for my ZL1 ! Then the next question... what size! I'm going to be buy new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 's so I figure before I do I better decide if I'm getting new wheels!

Nice. The Gangup deal is the way to go if you don’t mind waiting for them. My group reached $500 off.
