How much do you appreciate the stock wheels on your 6th Gen? - Page 5

init4fun · 08-13-2019, 10:11 AM

I have the 50th and while I do like the wheels, I'm not crazy about them. The downside is really cleaning them. After 5K miles I finally annoyed enough that I pulled the trigger and bought some 1LE replicas from MRR.

I'm usually a fan of the stock Camaro wheels..but the MMR 1le replicas are super nice!

My silver five-spokes were great until they started fading, flaking, and peeling. At least the dealer is replacing them under warranty, though it took three tries before they finally agreed.

I love them, the only thing I would switch for are ZL1 1LE 19s but I would need reps to fit in the front.

Love mine. The gloss finish is easy to clean and the red hash marks are nice highlights. The wheels are the right size at 20" and my change to ceramic brake pads keeps them dustless.

This is exactly my thoughts. fitment of the 1LE rims is so perfect, I have ZERO desire to even consider another option.

With the exception of exotics, I don't think there is a better stock wheel design offering out there.

Even the C7 Z06 and Grand Sport have a more tucked in look compared to the SS 1LE

I do like the Mustang PP2 wheels as well.

I put a small (5mm) spacer in the back to make the rears more closely match the fronts. The front sticks out about 10mm more from factory.

I love my stock wheels now (after I pin striped them) it's just my own little personal touch. I dig the 1LEs too.

I really like the gray painted machined-face split spoke wheels. I do wish they were offered in the SS 1LE / ZL1 sizes though. I think this is the best looking wheel design on the 6th gen.

I've looked into changing these out for 6th gen SS 1LE wheels or 5th gen ZL1 wheels, but I think I'd miss the color and design of the stock gray wheels.

These are indeed great looking wheels that I also like, just wish they were a tad darker gray, maybe similar to the dark taillights or even a bit darker. I'll probably get them powdercoated and see how that goes. And indeed it's too bad they only come in 8.5" and 9.5" widths and standard non-1LE offsets.
