havoc wheels question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

really like the look of these wheels - esp the black chrome.

anyone know how much they weigh (would like something lighter than the stock wheels - 30lb/rim for front, 32lb/rim for rear.

also, i read by someone that has them that they didnt fit well and had to use spacers - anyone comment on this?

thanks!

I think they're the same weight as the stock - I don't have numbers.
They did not fit with my car lowered with KW V3's - I had to use spacers.
They can scratch easily...

since my car isnt lowered i guess no prob. were you happy overall, or would u have purchased something different?

Michael_Js · 07-30-2010, 10:40 AM

Overall, yes, I'm happy. If I had sufficient funds, i would have outright bought something better and kept my original wheels - this was an exchange.

good luck!

Were you able to use stock sensors?

Michael_Js · 08-04-2010, 12:21 PM

Yup, no changes there...they transferred them over.

The ones I've seen in person are the wrong offset and tuck in too far. That is why some people are using spacers on them. I like the shape of the spoke pattern, but they are low quality wheels and I won't sell them. OEM wheels are better.

Michael_Js · 08-05-2010, 01:05 AM

The only ones I've seen that need spacers are people like me who are using the KW V3's, otherwise, i've read of no other people using spacers. I agree that they are not high quality wheels...

Hi, what makes the Havoc wheel low quality?

nothing. people who say they're low quality don't have a clue.

I have the black chrome Havoc wheels on my Transformer car and they look great. they are the main compliment(s) I get on the car.

and no, I'm not using any spacers and they offset looks fine.

without knowing 100% that Nine Ball was/is referencing - I am guessing they are a cast wheel and are heavy and brittle compared to a forged wheel thats lighter and less prone to breakage.

I definitely wouldnt say that Nine Ball doesnt have a clue, he clearly has demonstrated that he DOES have a clue. but I dont know that for 90% of us, there is a genuine performance need/difference for our street driving needs.

just my .02

I once looked into the Havoc wheels pretty seriously. They are the same size and offsets as the factory SS wheels, 20x8 with +35mm offset and 20x9 with +40 offset. They are a cast wheel like the factory wheels and weigh over 30lbs each.
