Tmick5jr · 09-24-2013, 04:12 PM

hey camaro5 im looking for a new set of rims for my victory red 1lt RS camaro (pic below). Im torn between a pair of the black zl1 replicas, or the matte gunmetal TSW Nurburging's. I love them both but im looking for a little input from the community. what would you choose and why??? thanks! also if you have these on your car i would greatly appreciate a pic especially if its victory red!

My camaro:

TSW's

Zl1 replicas

TSW - YES , Because TSW looks great on any color camaro.
ZL1 - NO , Because you need 2 more cylinders to rock those wheels lol ....just kidding.

Powder coated RS Wheels looks great too!

I am a big fan of the ZL1's. I also recently became a big fan of the DUB Phase5 Matte Black wheels - likely my own Xmas present this December... I plastidipped my stock wheels to get me by on the cheap, but never intended to be permanent...

I can't tell if you have matte stripes or metallic. If you have the matte black, go with the matte black rims. Otherwise the replicas.

Lumix · 09-24-2013, 04:25 PM

Both are very good choices...but I lean toward TSW's
IMHO, I think they're slightly more "up-scale" but still have an aggressive look.

2010 SSRS · 09-24-2013, 04:27 PM

Definitely the ZL1's

I am in a similar predicament. I have a 2010 Camaro 2SS and I need a new set of rims. I already know what style I want but I don't know where to get them or whether they will fit. I want ZL1 replicas, black with machine faced (see image) with Chevy hubs. I need em at a good price, please point me in the right direction or at least where to look. Thanks!

A.VEE.BEE · 09-24-2013, 04:42 PM

TSWs

JorgeSS · 09-24-2013, 04:43 PM

TSW if I had the cash
no doubt

Everybody is going to have their own opinion on what's best, so let me throw in my 2 cents and say that you should absolutely go with TSWs for one big reason. ZL1 replica wheels, from what I've seen, are all made using a casting process called gravity cast. TSW Nurburgrings are manufactured using a Rotary Forging process which decreases weight, and strengthens the wheel as well, making a better overall wheel if you ask me.
