SS wheel clones

Wrecks24 · 11-03-2023, 02:26 PM

I may be in the minority here, but I really like style of the SS/LT1 wheels. Is there a company that makes this wheel in a larger size? I would really like something that will fit a 305/315 tire.

Yeah, unfortunately, the only rims I know of are 22" replicas.... that rim is just not a popular rim at all. Like, literally, it's hated it seems by all the vendors...

However, several are running a 305 on the rear with an LT1/SS...

I have heard of people having their wheels widened...

The Black 5 spoke rim is the best looking 6th Gen rim they made.

I think most people will argue that the SS 1LE Rim is by far the best looking 6th Gen OEM rim made...

To much going on, looks like blooming flower petals. The 5 spoke is more old skool mag type look.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...

I went from these (standard SS Carbon Flash Metallic Wheels):

To these:

I LOVE the latter...

These look like something I buy at Discount Tire for $100 a wheel... Very basic...

I love these rims too (and think that is a very common sentiment) - If I do decide to spring for wider wheels/summer tires in the spring, I am definitely going for SS 1LE style!

https://midwestwheelandtire.com/ does have lots of OEM/replica/takeoffs (search 2021 year for full list) but unfortunately for OP the standard LT1/SS ones they like are only in the stock 8.5" & 9.5" widths.

If five spokes simply split down the middle is too much, then what do you say about the ZL1 wheels

?

Most people, even some ZL1 owners strongly prefer the SS 1LE design. The SS wheel you like is indeed more old school, but the spoke design feels like it's working with flattened steel plates, which is unappealing. I mean in general, of course, these preferences are subjective. What isn't subjective, though, is that the 1LE wheels are fully forged, while all stock SS wheel options are cast and inherently weaker.

I love this look. DM Sent.

I'm on my 2nd ZL1, and while I do like the SS 1LE wheels, I do prefer the ZL1 look (because it works with the whole car). If I were going to swap wheels, it would probably either be a MRR M228 (5th gen Z28) or 1LE wheels..
