New Purchase!

I bought a set of BC Forged KL01 wheels in OEM sizes and offset for my ZL1. From what I understand these haven’t been fitted to a Camaro yet. They are a new design. They should be here in about 6 weeks. Car is black. Wheel color is brushed black. Wish I could have convinced myself to buy the BBS FR1. That’s a sick wheel. But these came in a close second. Opinions? I’ll post pics when they arrive.

I would love some forged wheels... someday.
But, there are quite a few very, very similar designs out there now. From alot of the bigger companies.
I would have picked something a bit more unique... But you like the BBS, so I can see you like this style.

I am sure they will look great. Did you custom order them or Let someone else pick the measurements for you.
Lots of options on the BC Forged website on how they can build the wheel.

Nice! I wonder what that wheel would look like on a Silver SS?

Great wheel choice! Your wheel choice was one of my options i was looking at too but I went with the BC Forged HCS21 2 piece wheels instead. I was told mine are the first to go on a Camaro as well. The finish on my wheels is also brushed black. Just a heads up though, the brushed black tends to change colors in different lighting. At times the face of my wheels looks bronze in sunlight. This was something that I didn't know and didn't quite like but cant do anything about now.

Hard to tell how flush the front 20x10 +23 is.

Are you lowered or stock height?

Car looks great. I like the hint of bronze myself.

Bronze? Interesting! Ordering wheels sight unseen makes it impossible to forsee what the wheel or finish will look like. If I'm unhappy with the finish I'm ready to get them refinished to my liking. I'm considering hydro dipping or painting if they aren't to my liking.

I have an all black car. not too many options other than solid black or brushed. 5 weeks and counting!

Thanks! I am at stock height. The fronts are flush and as for the hint of bronze, I'm not a fan. I've seen brushed black finishes before and they look great. I'm guessing the brushed black finish on mine needed another coat of black

That's a nice looking option with the tinted clear coat finish. BC Forged wheel center caps forged aircraft aluminum too or are they plastic with a finished metal cover glued on?

You know, thats a good question. I have no idea. I'll have to find that out.
