Anyone done these. Matte Black Replicas-Discount Tire - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm looking to go with the matte black look on my car come spring. I found these at discount tire for a good price. Just wondering if anyone has put these on their car or know anyone that has. I guess they are painted, so I just wondering how they will hold up. Thanks.

Good point. I guess I'm up so I assume everyone else is too.

I've got em, but only had them for about a month, so can't update you on durability. I went with a 20x9 on all four corners so I can rotate the tires. Also bought the tire sensors and some all season non-diretional Hankook tires, and they are plenty grippy for the way I drive.

nice find...

Topdown · 12-06-2010, 06:55 PM

why not just sand/paint the wheels you have and save 500.00 toward something else? or spend 200 - 300 and get your SS wheels powder coated matte black?

Kreature · 12-06-2010, 08:36 PM

mmhm if your going to buy those, you might as well just powdercoat them a flat black.

ArkySS · 12-06-2010, 09:22 PM

Would be nice if the weighed less but I can't find weight anywhere on there site or Discount Tire.

These are gloss black $799 shipped. The one good thing here is you can select a size of choice so if your factory tires are still new, you can get the 20x8 & 20x9's and utilize the factory tires.

I want to keep my stock wheels so when this whole black wheel craze dies I will have my originals to put back on. Not to mention I have painted wheels before and the durability sucks. I see all these guys on here doing them with a spray can and taping up the tire. It makes me laugh... the first time they need tires their paint job arounsd the lip will be ruined.

As far as durability... I think this is really the only way to go. I really want to keep the stockers the way they are. I wish someone would make replicas that are flat powdercoated. All I see are painted.

Because I wanted the same size on all four corners with all season tires. I want to be able to drive in the winter and have better tire wear, being black with a black car was just a bonus

. My wife is the main driver, so all out performance tires are necessary, and in fact could be dangerous in the winter. YMMV.
