So I told him whatever, make them however you want, just want the same 540 pattern to match the other car. I have dealt with John for about 15 years and trust him a lot. They are one-off wheels, he doesn't make them till you order them. He has quite an operation in Daytona and does first class work. He can make whatever you want....3 piece, 2 piece, 1 piece. He does lots of Viper and Corvette work. Gonna put wider tires on it, just as soon as they wear out.
FYI: The inner fenders are the same on on a SS, ZL1 or 1LE. It doesn't matter because your 12's fit.

In my taste, the black wheels are some of the best factory wheels to come out on any car. I don't know how many compliments I have received just on the wheels on my car. At least everyone in my area loves the black on orange combo. In all reality, with a car with this exclusivity in this price range, I am betting that a higher percentage of people are keeping it stock.

normally I replace stock wheels because
A. they look horrible
B. they are boat anchor heavy
C. higher procudtion car so you see that wheel everywhere.

A. on this car I like the 10 spokes

B. they are factory forged so they are not too heavy even though there are lighter wheels out there.

C. I have the only one I have seen in the area so far.

to be honest 50% of the people think my car is just an SS I modified so they think the wheels are aftermarket ha ha. I figured by now I would have seen another one around and maybe that would make me want to get different rims but not yet.

I love my stock black wheels on my orange ZL1. Those wheels make the car look mean so I was told.

Stock rims run about 1k per wheel, no tire either. After market is cheaper and maybe better

They're $649.

I've had my eyes on some iforged equip v3s concave series in a 11 front 12 rear. Matte black center with a carbon lip.

I have my winter tires mounted on TSW Nurburgrings and I just put them on this week. They look good, but I still think the stock wheels look better.

It's not the best quality, but here's a few pics:
