Wanting to upgrade to some ZL1 wheels and have a few questions.
1. I am looking at the replica ZL1 wheels, anyone use these? Is the quality
good? Any problems?
2. If I go with 20x10/20x11, with the tires I have now for the larger wheels until
they are worn enough to replace? I currently have the RS package that has
20x9/20x10 wheels.

Really want the larger wheels to go with larger (315) rears later. I appreciate any help.

1. Yes love them

2. Stock tires won't go on anything larger than 20x9 front and 20x10 rear

Shat! Nice car!

Your stock wheels are 8 front and 9 rear, and Ryan is right that you can't go wider than a 9 / 10 setup with stock tires. I have the 9 / 10 setup replicas with stock size tires now. Fronts are pretty stretched out too.

I would personally wait until you need new tires or can afford to go wheels and tires together and sell your stock ones. As said the most you can go is 20x9/10 combo and that will be slightly stretched but not to bad. If you wait you can get the 10/11 conbo you want and believe me it's well worth the wait. I have the 315 in the back and that's by far my most complimented mod on my car, the stance is something you won't regret especially if your lowered
As far as quality I have nothing but good things to say about factory reproductions.

I bought Zl1 reproduction wheels about a year ago. 9" and 10" since I was swapping the stock Pirellis. I have since replaced the Pirellis with Nitto Motivos, 275/40/20 fronts and 315/35/20 rears. My car is lowered an inch. I bought the wheels in machined silver but Plasti-Dipped them Anthracite Metallic shortly after I installed them. This way I can go with light or dark wheels as I feel. No complaints about these wheels at all. They are great, although I'm thinking about selling them and buying a set of the Z/28 reproduction wheels. The pictures were taken before I installed the Nittos and now the wheels are Plasti-Dip gloss black.

Before Plasti-Dip and lowering.

After Plasti-Dip and 1" drop..
