seriously though unless the car was parked and you were on foot then you wouldnt tell. Driving you shouldn't know.

Now think about this, 90% of the population does not know what the zl1 wheels look like.

Now of that 10% maybe 10% of them know what the exact look of them is and know which spoke Bends which way.

That's 1% of the population that can tell the difference standing next to your car stationary.

Driving your car 0% chance since your wheels will be spinning.

Imo as long as the wheels look as good as the real ones I could care less how close they look but noone is going to say hey those are fake.

The first thing when I see a camaro is admire it not look for replica wheels.

Honestly I've looked at these and the ZL1 ones side by side in pictures and I actually prefer the replica wheels !

I wanted them in chrome or polished anyway so that makes it replica or nothing, but I think the design of the spoke is better in these........never would have thought I'd say that

[ToolFan66]

Wouldn't Replica indicate, Exact? So wouldn't these be ZL1 Inspired Wheels?

I like these wheels better then the OEM's as well.. Factory Reproductions hit a home run with them.

The best part about these wheels? They AREN'T exactly the same. Do I want the ZL1 wheels? Yeah. But everyone's got them. Not everyone has THESE wheels... And when I pull up to my three buddies...all who have the ZL1 wheels, MINE will be different.

That's exactly the point I wanted to make
If one goes to the American tires ( I think ) website , they say , Camaro Replicas wheels , and they look darn like it
Not on this ones , but that's okay , or GM would have cut the Lawyers loose by now .

Waiting on polished or chrome pics.. Please so I can decide !
