Amen

I've heard that the offsets for TSW's don't fit right (if you want a certain width, I think it was 20x10.5)... This was a while back and maybe it's fixed by now...

But out of those 2 I'd choose the TSW's over ZL1 "replicas"

I'd say as long as you were 100% sure the offsets for TSW's were right and there are no worries on that end, they would be a more solid option.

Don't know if that helps...

EDIT: yeah here is the thread, a 20x10.5 TSW sticks out past the fenders.... If this is the size you want and it doesn't bother you, then pull the trigger

Post #15 shows the actual rim not just the tire sticks out.

im not real sure about what width to get. i have the RS camaro so what width should i get? i know my current rims are 8 in the front and 9 in the rear. could i get away with 9 inch rims in the front and 10 in the rear and still fit on my current pirelli p zero tire?

I voted TSW because...well...they're awesome.

You MIGHT be able to squeeze the stock tires on to 9 and 10 inch rims but it would NOT be recommended.

As far as what sizes that is up to you. If you are buying just for looks or if you actually want more rubber on the ground...

A 9" front and 10" rear would be fine for an RS, a lot of people are running 9" fronts and 10" rears on their SS's.... Personally I am going to run 10" fronts and 11" rears whenever I get new rims, and I will probably get forgestars, I'd get TSW's if the rear offset for the 10.5 was right

ALSO consider what tires you are going to put on them once you get them, if you are only focused on getting a certain tire (ex a NT05 or Pilot Super Sport) make sure that tire comes in the right size for the rim you are buying.

9 inch front and 10 inch rear will fit your current tires.

Black ZL1 10 spoke wheels.

TSW. Those replica look cheap

[menendez1293]

The ZL1 replicas have my vote. They are not the highest quality wheel but they are the look that I plan on going with. Just need the money

I want ZL1 replicas, black with machine faced (see image) with Chevy hubs. I need em at a good price, please point me in the right direction or at least where to look. Thanks!

I have been looking at those as well, I have seen replicas on eBay you would like to buy the chevy center caps. Type in ZL1 wheels on eBay and they should appear they run from $800-$1000 a set.

I like TSW's, but I don't have Nurbs. i also like silver more than black. To each his own.
