So I answer your question and you diss my wheels.....hmmm.....

You are right about the opinion part. Sometimes it's best to keep your opinion to yourself

The problem is most people swap out the OEM wheels for ones that look worse + lower quality.

If you're going to do it, spend some jack and do it right.

I'm not a fan of a lot of the Camaro wheels but both ZL1 wheels on the 6th Gen are sweet.

I felt the same way as some at first. I did not like them and planned to replace them with 19"MRR ZR1 wheels. I still might do that, But I did warm up to the stockers after a while. But no matter how you slice it they are hard to clean. But also don't show dirt much so driving them dirty makes very little difference. In this pic they are track dirty.

I told you to not take it personal. I am not dissing "your" wheels, I just don't like the OEM wheels that come on the car from the factory.

I have seen the 6 gen OEM ZL1 wheels in person. In my opinion they are downright ugly. And since I already have a full set of 2013 OEM 5 spoke ZL1 wheels, that is what I would run on the car if I buy one.

I also prefer to have a "Made in USA" forged wheel over a Chicom wheel.

But these are just my opinions. Again, don't take it personal.

Oh my bad. I forgot it's ok to say whatever you feel like saying as long as you throw in a "don't take it personal". Lol!

If telling someone their wheels are downright ugly is not dissing, then I don't know what is. Basically you dissed everyone that owns a 6 gen ZL1 and likes the wheels it came with. Lol! I honestly couldn't care less if someone likes what I do or not, and was just poking a little fun, so don't take it personal. Lol!

I respect the made in USA preference.
That doesn't always mean better quality, just like made in China doesn't always mean it's junk, but I do like the idea of keeping as many jobs here in the US as we can.
