I'm looking for some help in getting new wheels installed. There are some things I don't know about, so I don't know if I can trust the wheel installation place to do it right. I don't want anyone to mess up my precious SS. I don't know if I need spacers; how to make sure I get new sensors to go on the new wheels; what are hub rings, etc. I have been in decision mode for a long time, and now I am ready to commit. So...can anyone tell me what I want to hear the installer tell me about how he/she is going to do the installation? I will shop installers until I find the person that is confident, competent, and can talk the Camaro wheel installation talk.

I'm also looking for the right place to buy from. I requested two quotes online after deciding on the look I wanted, and no one responded.

In case you want to know, here are the specs:
2013 SS/RS
Wheels- 20" x 8" front and 20" x 9" rear flangeless, painted aluminum with Midnight Silver finish
Tires- P245/45R20 front and P275/40R20 rear, blackwall, summer (STD)

Chosen wheel:
Savini Black Di Force BM6 chrome, possibly with the flange behind the chrome rivets painted inferno orange.

or something very similar to this Savini model. I love SV21s, but at $1,055 a wheel, can't justify it.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You might do a search on here about Savini wheels, IIRC there have been a few complaints about the poor quality of that brand of wheels.
Good luck though!!

Are you looking for wheels or someone to install wheels for you?

Thanks for letting me know! I have now read some of the complaints and I am back to square one. Wish this was easier.

First looking for wheels quotes, so I can buy. Then looking for local installation with a knowledgable person.
