Looking for wheels similar to the machined 21" from GM.
I've searched the mega-thread for wheels, and found a couple that are kind of similar, but nothing nearly identical to the ones I want. I would love to have the black and silver machined wheels from GM, but $4,000 is a little too much to pay for them IMO. Has anybody been able to find any that look nearly identical to these wheels? If so, can you post pictures and the name of the wheels? Thanks in advance!

No one has found wheels close to the 21" machined finish ones you get from GM?

This one?
Most people just aren't too fond of this wheel. It looks so cheap with the fake hardware scattered around it, and the little black spokes look like an afterthought in design. The basis of the wheel is a 5-spoke however, and several companies can custom make 2-tone painted wheels. I can think of 100s that look better than the GM wheel. It really depends on your budget. Iconz can make you a custom set just like those if you really want some.

Well I didn't plan on spending $4,000+ on the wheels alone. Is there anything similar in the $2,000 range?

Stick around and you'll probably see someone sell their used 21s. That is probably your best bet if you like those.

Yeah true I could do that... wonder how much they'd really sell for though, I wouldn't want anything really "used" for my new Camaro lol. I won't be getting mine until another couple years anyway. But I'm getting all my homework done early.

Hell by that time, Chevy will probably have released some new and better looking wheels. Maybe Z28 specific wheels hmmmm?

The LS7 wheels look nice, saw them somewhere but couldn't find them again. And yeah I'm hoping they'll be out with the Z/28 by the time I'm ready to purchase. That will be AWESOME!
