Rally Green ZL1 1LE | Featuring APEX 18” VS-5RS Sprint™ Line Wheels

This ZL1 1LE left the showroom ready to tear up the track, but the factory wheels are heavy and not as robust as many drivers prefer. Now it’s ready to roll with a set of our new VS-5RS wheels. As part of our forged Sprint™ line, these are built to be extremely light while still offering a meaningful strength increase over our flow formed wheels. Engineered for drivers looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times. Check out that deep concavity and side milling on the spokes!

Brake Clearance was also prioritized with all of our Sprint™ Line designs and all new motorsports blanks allowed us to engineer 18" wheels that clear the massive factory ZL1 1LE brakes.

Looks incredible! Offset fills the wheel wells as it should. Nicely done.

will this combo fit on a 5th gen? same offset? i dont see a 18X12X41 on the apex webpage only an 18X11X41and also dont see a 18X11Xet7 for the fronts listed.

Wow that's crazy awesome looking!! I would love to have a 12 inch wide wheel fit on the rear of my 5th gen and not "poke" out like my 11.5 inch wide +30 offset Feradda's do with the 335/30/20 MPSS in my sig pic. Plus I'm lowered 1.5 and have no rubbing issues, but it would be nice to "tuck em in" more. Nice setup..

These sizes are listed in a number of places, including the Group Buy and the 5th Gen category page under "shop by vehicle".

That said, they will not fit under the 5th gen with factory fenders as they will sit out a touch. The front more so than the rear. Negative camber helps limit the poke, nor will they rub in most cases.

Thanks! Our 18x12 or 19x12" would be about 5mm less aggressive on the outside compared to what you have now, and allow for better tire support with a 325 or 335 tire.

Thanks sir for the reply. Much appreciated. Do you have anything 20x12 for the rear? Asking because I have fairly new 335/30/20's out back. Also looking to keep the front at 20x10. Thanks.

We don't have 20" Camaro fitments planned out just quite yet as honestly we haven't seen/felt much demand, however we do hope to come out with a few sizes next year likely ranging from 20x10 through 20x12".

Right on, thanks. Just asking because I'm not too sure how good a 19" wheel will look on my 5th gen. I appreciate your feedback.

Just look to the 5th Gen Z28 when it comes to 19’s.

George-CZ · 11-19-2021, 02:22 PM

So this is not a mistake!
I applaud !!!!

Thanks, I will do that. I never paid much attention to the Z28's, thought they ran 20's as well.
