Take another look, the OEM wheel where the top of the spoke is connected to the rim looks to be on a much greater angle. They look completely different to me.

Not only that , but the spokes get together at the rim and turn the opposite way , look at the thicker portion off the rim in between spokes, angle off the last 2plus inches before it runs into the rim
So different , don't do it , it will look like horse manure

Another thing is the factory 10 spokes are FORGED and the replicas are not!

I've stated this in a few threads and most members acted like I was crazy.
The repos aren't even close to OEM the ZR28 wheels from LG are better but they aren't forged or stamped Camaro. IMO anything but the OEM wheel for the OP is a bad decision.

And that's what I'm trying to say
If someone wants to replace all four , it's alright , but in this case it's a no no

A local shop here in northern va called a plus wheels. They do a lot of work with local tire shops. When the tire shops messes wheel up they come in for the rescue
