New Rims ON :) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So before i get crap from the last picture, i already talked to the vendor who sold me the rims, because the center caps that were provided did not fit, because of the axle nut axle sticking out too far, since the offset is only at 25, so other than that, These rims look amazing in person!, i cant wait for the caps for the rear to come on Monday, have a re alignment , not cause of the caps but cause the steering wheel is off. But yeah rims are awesome, went on smooth, guy took care of them, was at a Cadillac dealership i take my folks cars too, so he treated me well, also they broke my tire and gave me a brand new one free of charge, sooo yeah free 100% tread tire on the right.

So yeah rear does not have center caps until next week and the front does, lol I had the vendor order me extended center caps for my rear since it was slightly more concave, and regular caps didn't fit.

Side not, car will need bath, polish and wax after, cover is dirty and covered in pollen and bugs :( im just waiting to get the things in order before i do that.

Next on are the pedders XA coilovers and maybe drop it .5" or 1" , depends how rear looks.

Removed the stock OEM black ZL1 rims and replaced with Rohana, Ferrada FR4 styled rims, before anyone asks, OEM ZL1 Rims sold

Hellfighter · 03-31-2018, 01:16 AM

Drives as smooth as the eagle F1 stock tires allow it too lol.

I will keep my car bone stock forever, but I have to say that I love those wheels. Great choice.

Hellfighter · 03-31-2018, 07:02 AM

Thanks, I'd like to get another one eventually, car wise and I would. Most likely keep that bad boy stock.

Anyone know why center caps that came with the wheels for the rear would not fit, i did look up rohana extended caps it looks like they are the same caps that came with the rims, so now it has me worried, the axle is sticking past the cap a bit and what the dealership told me to take a grinder to it and cut a bit at the end off... wtf.

Were the new wheels substantially lighter than the stockers?

UPS Weighted the rims in the box at 35 LB each give or take.

how do you plan on dealing with the magnetic ride when you switch to the coilovers?
