Just to clear things up that may change voters opinions, yes we can make these wheels to accept your current OE tires but that means that the wheel will have to be no wider then a 20x9 which will eliminate the concavity of the wheel, for us to get maximum concave to look like the OE 1LE wheel it will require a 20x10 front and 20x11 rears. Or if concavity is not a concern 20x9 maybe a 20x9.5

I can't speak for all of those that want these to fit the stock rims but...I have done my homework on this in the past.

As someone interested in that option, I realize the 9" won't have the concavity of the wider rims, but I don't think it means that it will "eliminate" the concavity of the wheel. At least I don't see why it would...they should still be far from "flat". If you were to go with a rim that has a more aggressive offset than the stock wheel...in this case it should at least be more a little more concave than the stock wheel, but less so than the 10" and 11" wide versions.

Example: I had the Style 41 ZL1 replicas on my last car. They were all 9" wide, and had a +27mm offset that poked them out further than stock. Now, they also didn't have the same concavity as the 10 and 11" rims, but again, with that offset they were much more aggressive looking than stock and had more concavity. I loved it...had all the look, and they were also the lightest option. I shaved weight over my stock rims.

So would something like that be possible for these rims? I will say that it will be disappointing if the 9" wide wheels have the same offset as stock.

Personally, I would go with a 9" in the front (0.5" gain over stock) and a 10" in the rear if your 10" wheel also fit well in the rear and put my stock tires on....otherwise I'd go with 9" all around, and happily give up the 0.5 width in the rear and still mount my stock tires.

Appreciate your time on this, and love that you are already getting a start.

Thank you for the information. I would love to have a set of these with 20x10 front and 20x11 rears. I have no need to fit the stock tires on these wheels. I am definitevely looking for the cancavity the wheels will have.

I want the 10" front 11" rears, but I want the Z28 style rims, these new 1LE rims aren't as nice as 5th gen.

we do have the M228 wheel in stock ready to go/
i would recommend contacting Element wheels as they are a current sponsoring vendor and definitely have the wheels in the proper 2016 fitment in stock.
lets get you on a set and get some pics

now the cost will land in the 1600-1900.00 range, trust me there will be someone that will replicate and be below the 1500.00 but thats when you land in the is just a replica no brand market.

Are these wheels going to have factory width and offset? I just skimmed this and it sounds like they won't be. Also, where are your wheels manufactured?

Just wanted to clear up a few thing's on the replica subject. especially for the track course guys and only to reasure that you will receive a high quality wheel.

A wheel can only be considered a replica do to its design and some replicas have received a bad reputation but is not the replica is the manufacture behind it and what they decided to do with it.

simple example: some manufactures will replicate a wheel and will offer a general size and width and there job is to sell numbers to the masses at a cheap price, 20" for 1000 at the most this is more likely a standard cast wheel in which the manufacture only cared for the design aspect.

now what if a manufacture took that same design but used a better construction??
maybe full blown Forged, maybe Flow Forged or maybe low pressure casting, all these are 3 better options then standard cast and make for a better stronger wheel.

Thats our goal: make a better, lighter constructed wheel for the community back by a reliable source.

trust us someone in this industry will make this 1LE Rep and are probably already planing out the whole thing and will be priced in the 1,000.00 set mark, this is great for those who want the look and visual aspect, I want to give you guys the visual aspect and a strong light weight Rotatory Forged wheel.

MRR...can you please respond on my response to your statement above?

Basically, the real question is, do you think you could make a 9" wheel with a more aggressive offset than the stock wheels (in my case, the standard 5 spoke) and more concavity?

If you can't answer that question now I understand, but I will say again that I'd assume they would have a more aggressive offset. If not, that will diminish a lot of interest in something that would fit stock tires. My opinion anyways. Thanks.

Just giving you an honest response, but if someone does replicate the wheels, and they look nice/don't weight a ton, and come at or under 1,500 they will sell a ton of them.

Not saying this is the route you should go. I still very much appreciate what you are doing, and I am definitely a potential buyer! Many buyers want a forged wheel. Many (including myself) don't want or need a forged wheel. As long as the wheel is safe and abides by standards, then I see no reason not to purchase it if it checks all the boxes.

All I'm saying is, $1,100 set of wheels that does all I need versus 1,600 set that is forged...I'm going for the cheaper set lol. Call me cheap if you want.

lol i understand some guys are not after a performance wheel, in fact we also offer Low pressure cast wheels with in our brand and we have been offering this for the past 10 years it has been our core survival, we just recently decided to get into a deeper side of performance wheels and thats why we created the FS01/ Light weight Flow forged, strong and because are target cars are Porsche, Audi R8 and many european vehicles we also tested for VIA, JWL and TUV. just to give you a idea of where we believe this wheel will be priced at our Mustang M350 flowforged wheel in a 19x10/19x11 retails at 1499.99

[Jeanius]

So is this a go? Im about to order up my Camaro today or tomorrow

Thank you keep up the good work! The FS01 and M350 are awesome wheels and I like the fact you are making them with the right offsets to match the car no spacers. This IMHO is crucial to a wheel that you spent the time to make sure was perfect. If the M350 wheels were not specifically designed for the ford fans I would be looking at those. Although the FS01 is definitely a Camaro wheel. I think for the money and quality of flow forged wheels I will be going with a FS01 or the 1LE wheel myself as soon as my first set of tires need to be replaced.
