Best Look with Factory Wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

jkesselr · 06-23-2015, 03:02 PM

All, I just got a 2014 Camaro SS that has factory wheels. I am not in a position to buy $600 per wheel aftemarket wheels, but the factory tires need to be replaced. Can you guys post up pics with factory wheels and with the specs for the tires you are running and whether you have lowered it a touch or not.

Also, if you have pics with any relatively cheap wheels, I'd love to see those too, along with similar info like lowered, tire size, make, and model, etc.

I am just trying to get a feel for how awesome I can make this car look with factory wheels or with cheaper aftermarket wheels.

Thanks in advance!

John

By relatively cheap wheels, I mean roughly $200 per wheel range.

For some reason, I really like the simple clean look of the factory SS wheels. I would never replace them.

I like how the factory wheels look, but if I am limited on tire choices to weird sizes or expensive sizes, it might make more sense to move to a different size wheel. Just looking for the best looking cars on factory wheels or cheap aftermarket wheels.

I think these look pretty darn good for factory!!

jkesselr · 06-23-2015, 06:43 PM

Those do look good, what are they off of? My wheels are the factory 5 spokes. Also, what size/brand of tires are you running?

Yup , me too.
Factory correct is best.

Cheap wheels aren't worth it. You could always powder coat the wheels you have to match or contrast the car and make it unique.

Thank you! These are the factory 1LE/ZL1 wheels, they are 285/35/20 Goodyear supercars

Here is my 2011 with plastidipped factory 20" wheels

jkesselr · 06-23-2015, 07:03 PM

Those look pretty sweet. I was hoping I could find a set of American Racing wheels or something like that that would look good and not cost a fortune, but even those are $600+ per wheel. What do the 1LE/ZL1 wheels run?

You don't even want to know, LOL, I've seen them on sale here used for a couple thousand

You can get ZL1replicas to fit the stock tires for about $1k shipped.

I hope to do those, but may dip mine this weekend first to try it.

Really wish they were wider and more flush to the wheel well.
