Was at a dealership Monday asking about a thousand questions about the 2013, including what more of the wheels look like (online guide only had a few), so the salesman was kind enough to show me a pic of two more, an 18" and a 20", but didn't post about them as I wasn't sure how to describe them. They look good. Just found the pic today posted elsewhere, but when I tried to post the pic, I got *** so I think it's not an approved site here. Anyway, there are pics out there...not sure where else to look for the pic. Hope someone can find it elsewhere and post!

Eta: Roy @ John Elway Chevy is incredible knowledgeable and helpful. Patiently answered all my questions. Zero pressure. Even let my 11 yo son sit in the driver's seat of a $127k Vette since he was so well-behaved!

Interesting... The pictures earlier in this thread resemble the rims you saw? Or they have a completely different style?

Chemical, the two sets referenced in my prev post don't look like this.

Disclaimer: I'm a woman and I love cars, but I'm by no means a gear head in the sense of knowing the lingo. So my descriptions of the wheels may inspire these:

The 18" set I saw look like the top set here, but seem to have a bit more aggressive styling, could just be the lighting in pix. Very close to this, attachment to rim a little different, each lug is in a circular space, not the squares seen on this pic. I like both sets I saw better than the prev stock wheels and the three types in the 2013 online guide. More style, more aggression, IMO.

The 20" set, the ones the salesman thinks will be part of the RS pkg, had a recessed center area that joined the five spokes in a webbed way (think duck, not spider). Each spoke kinda tapers with a groove down to where it joins the center.

Clear as mud, right? Sorry! I warned you!

oooo def getting a 2013 for sure as LE, gonna be a good year. The mayans fortold the awsomeness.

gcope63 · 05-04-2012, 04:18 PM

I think I like the 18" style better....

cbass · 05-04-2012, 04:34 PM

I think I liked the old style slightly better on the 20", but they are so similar that it doesn't really matter to me. I wonder why the change if so slight?

AZCamaroFan · 05-04-2012, 04:55 PM

yeah they are similar. i guess the new 18'' will replace the horrid 'heritage' steel wheels? anything would be an upgrade to that.

Me too. Still wanna see pics of the wheels on the car. The new 18s look like rounded out ZL1 wheels, pretty nice.

Why is that? The 20" don't seem to have really change much in design. The subtle changes don't kill the looks. I think they look similar. I just wonder why the change.

The way it says (painted) on the 20 inch....makes me wonder if they are going to still offer them polished....I sure hope so !

Thx for posting. On the other forum I'm on, *** mean prohibited site aka do not link/post. Thought that was likely given the history...

Anyway, as others said, I think the 18" look best. I thought the 20s look much better than the current ones.
