Looking to upgrade my Rims

[babymandm]

I'm looking to change my stock rims on my 2010 SS and I could use some ideas, any suggestions or pictures you could share of rims you decided to go with? I love the 2023 ZL1 rims but haven't looked into them to see if they would fit and I'm sure they'd be very pricey. Would you love hear and see your suggestions!

Thank you!

I know a whole lot of people do it, but I kept coming back to the style of the Z/28 reps from MRR. Really like the way they came out.

F: 20x10 - 285/35/20
R: 20x11 - 315/35/20

Also swapped the center caps for black ones with silver Chevy logos.

Not sure how well that'd work out on a white car with orange strips, though. Maybe if you got the gunmetal color instead of black.

Great place to start. Tons of options

[1JEWLDSSRS]

MRR M228's, polished, Z28 replicas. 20x10 front, 20x11 rears.

1JEWLDSSRS is always a tough act to follow, but here's my Factory Reproductions ZL1 Replicas in Satin Black.

I am lowered about 1.25" but out front I have 20x9 (+27mm offset) with 275/40's and in the rear I have 20x10 (+35mm offset) with 305/35's.

American Racing Crossfire here for me... I wish I would have went with the gunmetal Grey variant... But the black has pushed me to go with a high contrast of White and black on the entire car. The rears are a 40mm Offset 10.5 inch wide rim, Fronts are a 20mm offset 9 inch wide rim. Clear factory Brembo's and the "rollerskate" pads just fine. Here is Early stages when I still had my orange stripes all the way to how she sits now so that you can see what they would look like on your car personally.

I love those zl1 wheels, If I could have found some locally i probably would have went with these instead.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the kind words!! Forgot to mention, I am also lowered 1.25 front and back. The front wheels are 20x10 +23 offset with 275/35/20's, and the rears are 20x11+43 offset with 315/35/20's. I did at one time for a bit have 335/30/20 tires on these wheels with no issues, and it didn't look too bad, but took them off and put the 315's back on. By the way, your camaro looks really nice with that hood vent, and the ZL1 wheels just make it complete with the yellow car color. Some cars look good with the black wheels, and some not so much. Very nicely done.

Out of all the wheels I looked at, I kept coming back to the ZL1 style. I bought the wheels, center caps, and locking lugs from Phastek.

Your car is looking sharp with the black and white theme!!

Thanks man! I needed something to break up the yellow. It's hard to capture in pictures, but all the black body parts are in painted in Carbon Flash Metallic...just to give it that extra pop. The funny thing is, from day 1 my wife suggested I get black wheels but I wasn't a fan because they reminded me of cars that were missing a hub cap. But at some point, I embraced the anti-chrome side...and now the only chrome remaining is around the bow-ties and the GM chicklets (which for some reason I can't bring myself to remove).

Awesome bro!! And you are welcome. Like we always say, it is YOUR car and you do what appeals to YOU, and you did good.. Enjoy that awesome machine!!

They are NICE! This might sound stupid, but do the black show as much dust and dirt as the chrome or steel? Do you know where I can get some aftermarket ones like that? Thank you!

Thanks! That actually is a good question. I have noticed that with satin black (compared to the gloss black wheels on my truck), it does hide the brake dust pretty well. A few weeks ago I went to a local car show and realized I hadn't wipe the wheels down in a while. They actually looked more like a matte black finish. After a quick wipe, the rag immediately turned black but the semi-shine came right back. Compared to my stock SS wheels, which I would often have to wash them with soap and water long before the car needed to be washed. Here's another picture showing some of "shine".



I bought the wheels, lugs, and Bow Tie center caps (the wheels come with plain center caps) from Phastek Performance. It looks like they also carry replicas of the newer ZL1 version as well.

Hey fellow NTX'ean!!

What tires are you running? My camaro has been sitting for a while and I need some new shoes! Love my Continental ExtremeContact DW but they renamed them to "Sport" and almost doubled the price! The new "Sport 2" are almost triple the price!!

I generally run,

F: 20x9 - 285/35/20 or 275/40/20
R: 20x11 - 305/35/20 or 315/35/20

Looking at some Nitto N555 OR Nitto Invo as reasonable choices.
