Which are worth more? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So the time has come to trade in my Camaro. I am curious which set of wheels I should put on the car for trade in and which I should sell on my own. The dealer doesn't seem to care which set I give them. The summer set is Factory Reproductions ZL1 replica wheel in gloss black, 20x10 +35 all around on Nitto Motivo tires, 275/40. The winter set is old style factory 20s (8 in front, 9 in rear) with some decent curb rash, on Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 snow tires, 245/45 (all around). They both have good tread left, but the snows are a bit better. First instinct is for me to put the winter wheels back on the car, then sell the FRs on my own, however I didn't know if being in Michigan, there might actually be better interest in a set of factory 20s with snow tires. Advice (apart from not trading in the car at all) encouraged!

Put the factory OEM ties and rims back on to trade the car in.

Sell you ZL1 repros in the marketplace section.

^^^^ Agreed. Easier to sell the FR's

Yep, the ZL1 repros will be much easier and get you more money.

Also, just a fair warning, Camaro values have dropped like 6% in the last month or two. I get updates on my cars value from them and it's dropped almost 2k as the 6th gens get close to the dealers. Apparently the new gen is hurting values quite a bit lol. Just thought you might want to know if they low ball your trade value.

Thanks for the info. I've already come to terms with the extreme loss I'll take in trade in. The 6th gen coming out is the main reason I'm motivated to get out of it now. I had the feeling the value of mine would plummet after people start seeing those bad boys on the streets! But, I just got married, so it's time to go to something more practical anyways.

Thanks to everyone for the reinforcement that selling the repros is the way to go.

Get a used CTS-V sedan. Or wagon for superiority.

How is a 6th gen more practical? lol

When I see the value on my current car drop it doesn't make me wanna go take a big hit on trade in. I just keep it longer, lol.

Lol, I'm not getting a 6th gen. I'm getting a different, more practical vehicle. The 6th gen being available and much more appealing to potential buyers, causing my car being worth much less next Spring than it is now, is what is driving the trade in.
