Did anyone find the manufacturer of the SSX wheels yet and find out what the price is for them?

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

I havent seen anything definte either. The best guess is what Blazzin said. I wish someone could at least give a "Yes, those were a custom set for SEMA made by so and so, or they are a GM product (future)." That way people could call so and so, or know they have to wait for 3 years before GM decides to do anything on these wheels.

Every year GM shows up at SEMA with at least one vehicle sporting custom wheels that they consider their OEM wheels. In person, these appeared to be forged/CNC machined wheels, not the typical cheap cast wheels that OEM wheels are made of. Also, designs are typically "owned" by GM, even if they did farm out the manufacturing to a wheel maker. That vendor cannot sell the wheels directly, if that is the case.

Short answer: The wheels are not available to public. They may never become available, you just never know. Not unless someone copies them, and takes the risk of legal issues with GM.

unless its a z28 wheel. then you can buy it from gm or gmpp

Thanks Nineball. Didn't know if it was a Pratt and Miller design and we just didnt hear or know.

GM staff at the show could not answer any questions about the wheels. Sometimes concept wheels start out as forged wheels for the showcar, then end up as cast wheels for production. Great looking wheel, I hope the Z28 comes with them.

This is exactly what happened with the LS7 wheels from 2010. Numerous people on this site tried to start group buys for copies of the LS7 wheels and GM and their lawyers started handing down cease and desists.

Just saying if GM would offer them as a decently priced option over the counter, I think all sorts of Camaro owners would jump on them. They have plenty of time to come up with sexy Z28 wheels.
