Will the 20" Wheels from the LS7 Camaro at SEMA be offered as an accessory? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I hope Fbodfather sees this.

I really love those wheels. I wish they were a factory option, but I know that's all set in stone. So, If they are even available, I'll have to pony up a ton of money for them as an accessory, but they'd be worth it.

I love polished wheels and I love concave wheels. I don't know why RWD cars today have such big positive offsets. I love the old muscle wheels and how they were concave.

Most wheels these days are trying to hard to get a "nice lip" on the wheel (even with a large positive offset), and IMO it's so posuer.

As you can see the hub of the wheel is pretty much flush with the outside edge, and the spoke has to go back into the wheel in order to get the lip. Which IMO is just horrible.

Now this is what I'm talking about!

Anyone else feel the same way?

I feel the same way about the LS7 wheels. They are my favorite wheels from GM so far...

I'd like to see them offered.

SoSmoked · 11-06-2008, 02:47 PM

LS7s are my favorite too. I'd rather pay 4 or 5 grand for those over those black's 21"s.

Ad Wizard · 11-06-2008, 03:28 PM

they are easily my favorite rim from GM so far, but are only 9.5" wide (according to the video). I'm hoping to be able to squeeze a 10.5" rim with 315's back there!

I would like to see those in a 21" option. I definitely agree those are my favorites so far too.

02bluess · 11-06-2008, 08:30 PM

I'm with ya... far and away my favorite wheels so far!!!

Someone mentioned seeing a video that indicated the wheels were 9.5" wide; did it also provide the tire sizing? I'm hoping maybe 305's??

kozzmo49 · 11-06-2008, 08:57 PM

definitely the best.. how did gm not offer these or at least a chrome option?

they look like 04-06 GTO wheels, just a little bit thinner in the spokes. i too think they are the best lookin wheels yet.

Aren't those just the polished 20s?

Nope. Different spoke design.

*TAG UR IT* · 11-07-2008, 01:23 PM

one of two sets of my fav wheels as well.

the other set i like were the orange vert wheels....which should also be the same wheels as on the dale jr concept.

*The_Blur* · 11-07-2008, 01:32 PM

They look like a combination of the convertible and coupe wheels. I'd love to see them standard or an option in the future.

*GTAHVIT* · 11-07-2008, 02:55 PM
