Wheel Choice CRT ZL1/Poll! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TobysZL1 · 03-22-2015, 07:09 PM

Hey all new to the forums but long time viewer.
I'm very interested in the new MRR228 replica Z/28 wheel. I currently have chrome replicas of the ZL1 10 spoke wheels right now that I got on eBay. I'm hoping I can get some good opinions on what I should do. My car is Crystal Red Tintcoat.
1. Keep what I have (chrome 10 spoke replica)
2. Gloss black mrr228
3. Graphite mrr228

Vote away and Thanks!

I kind of agree that's Why I started this thread. I love chrome but I can't help but feel that it takes away from the raw meanness of the ZL1's nature. To be honest I'm leaning towards the graphite. Reason being is I think they'll look great with CRT.. I love the black but because there gloss black instead of satin black like the OEM ZL1 And Z/28 wheels, it's very hard to see Where the wheel is, they blend so much with the tires, especially if you have tire dressing on. Makes it look like a blank center on a tire kind of. I do still like the black and I knew they would lead the poll but man I was kind of hoping people would be turning me on to these graphites.

Can I ask a dumb question? why are you buying replicas? it's not that I don't trust cheap Chinese cast aluminum but.......

TobysZL1 · 03-22-2015, 10:38 PM

Holy shhnikeys!! Dam!!
I used to have the 5 spoke ZL1 wheels and although I liked those better at the time then the black, I'm really not a big fan of either wheel design of the ZL1. I do like the ten spokes a lot more in chrome but again that's another reason I started this thread cause I'm unsure of them now. I would love to buy forged wheels but one there expensive as hell and 2 I really can't find anything that warrants the cost that I like enough...
But DAM to those pics above once again, Lol, crazy....

Sorry Toby, I had to post them.....your life is worth way more than the $1000 you save, by going cheap. Just look around on Craigslist, I often find 10 spoke OEM with new eagle F1 g2's for 1500.00. I have a set but I am a long ways from you to make it worth your while. Please only buy forged wheels.....your family will thank me.

Black or Black Chrome. Never Chrome on a ZL1 / Z28. Just my .02 worth.

phantom · 03-23-2015, 08:03 PM

Black OEM'S
