Now to get one more rear wheel so I can send in two cores and have 20x9 on all four corners.
The Wheel Specialist in to allow for rotation. The Wheel Specialist out of Tempe, AZ is who I used. Ask for Sean Gordon or email him at: sean@wsiaz.com

The service is fast price is reasonable. He even sent me shipping lables for my cores with service to pick them up at my house. Tell him JD in Indy sent you and maybe he'll show you some love!
Question, why wouldn't you run the 20x10's all around? Why did you decide to go with the smaller wheel rather than the larger wheel? The rears will fit on the front just fine. Most have ther fronts widened and then move the rear to the front. Just curious.


To the OP, those look nice! How is the offset? How close to the edge of the fender are these? I like mine flush not inset like the factory wheels.

I am a huge fan of chrome wheels, it's not "popular" these days but I love it, easy to clean and it's just a clean look, nice and shinny like our cars. Most of the wheels I like don't come chrome...

I had 20x10 on my rear with the Lorenzos I had and it was nice but I wanted chrome and came back to the OEM for this look. This not my final stop. I plan to put a set of DeForge2 SV2 on my car and I'll be stepping up to 22" then, and I'll be probably wider as well. In the mean time, I want to be able to rotate and just have no plans to put more into this when this is not a period to my program but a comma.

Had my Lorenzo WL21 came in Chrome I would have kept them. They looked really nice but the satin finish with the black didn't work for me and thus my return to OEMs in chrome until the next phase. Chrome is a great look no matter what the car or style and even manufacturers are bringing chrome back

Only problem is you guys went from heavy to heavier,I really like the looks but the weight is a killer so I'm gonna go for the ZL1 forged wheels with machined face like the ones on the green hot wheels car they are way lighter.

Gotcha! Thanks.

Yeah I am blown away Chevy did not have a chrome option for the Camaro. A lot of their other vehicles do.

I also love my barrels as they too are chromed but not polished. I can wipe them out and the look awesome. I do car shows and the attention to detail makes this easy for me and it gives a nice look to the chrome fronts. Nothing cheap about what the Wheel Specialist are putting out.
