Wheel Option Issue

I am a long time Camaro owner. I purchased a Z/28 new in 69, and I have owned 2 others and currently own a 68 coupe.
I am looking at buying a 2015 2 SS and I have done the "BUILD AND PRICE"
on one. I am looking at the Red Hot and I would like the black 10 spoke wheel option. In choosing that, I have to take on a whole bunch of options I DO NOT WANT. I am looking at an automatic.
Is there any way I can end up with those wheels, other than taking the stock wheels and upgrade to aftermarket wheels?
I find this very frustrating.
Also who is a good supplier for the wheels?
I have stumbled on a GM oem site but the wheels are ridiculously expensive.
Any help and insight would be appreciated.
Also any websites that could help would be appreciated.

Those wheels come with the 1LE package. A lot of people make replica wheels. I know a couple of people in our club have them.

Here's an example:

I bought a 13 ZL1 used with trashed polished 5 spokes. As the car is white, I wanted the black 10 spokes. I got them in the stock ZL1 sizes from wheel reproductions. They offer all sizes.

I know about the 1LE Package. That is my main complaint. I really don't want that package, I only want the "look" of the wheels. I am looking at an auto, and I would really like a stock fitment anyway. I know the black ten spoke wheels are a different size as well.
Funny I have looked at that web site you gave me, as an option.
The 1LE optioned Camaros back in the 90s were raced in the Sunoco series.
My buddy had one.

Yes I am looking at the same idea. The problem is, as it always has been, getting those wheels in Canada. I haven't looked at wheels for "new" cars in years so I am looking for options up here.
Thanks for the picture.

You are in St Catherines so you are very close to the border. Set something up on the US side (ie Kinek) and go over and bring them home. Also lots come up for sale in the members classifieds section on C5 as well.

I have done the over the border thing for years, with a PO box in Lewiston NY. I was hoping there were Canadian dealers who deal in these wheels.

For these go to factoryreproductions.com , I run the 10X20 and 11x20, these are the stock ZL1 size, the 1LE 10x20 squared set up. The have both set ups with factory offsets. They have very good pricing and if you already have a US box they should offer free shipping in the US, if they dont phastek probably will.

The reason you can't get the wheels without the 1LE package is because it comes with stronger hubs and wheel bearings to take the extra load from the increased wheel offset and tire forces.
