Looking for stock Z/28 wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Og Neon · 05-29-2016, 02:24 AM

I have been looking and looking for a set of stock Z/28 rims. There was one for sale a week ago but they sold quick. Does anyone know where I can find more at? These wheels seem to be very hard to find. I am also not interested in the replicas...I want a 2nd set to run race tires on that will hold up to track abuse. Thanks.

Nice, You will need a spacer on the front to run those..

Your local dealer should be able to get them with no issue.

Look up Detroit Wheel and Tire. They have them on the cheap. You won't get them any lower. Picking up a set myself this week.

Not sure why you would need a spacer like mentioned above. The offset should make them work fine.

The stock front is a 19x11 11mm offset, the wheel mentioned above is a 19x11 25 offset so moving the wheel inwards 14mm, I dont thing there is 14mm clearance from the inside of the rim to the strut (depending on how much - camber is set at the spindle) I think with 0° camber there is around 10mm clearance, with factory - camber maxed out there is only 5mm clearance. A 10mm / 15mm (depending on camber and tire used ) spacer would be required in the front only.

Ya the OP was asking about OE Z/28 wheels. Not sure why the other posted those Apex wheels

I went to the dealer and the price was way too high for me to want to jump on initially. It was close to like 1500 a wheel, plus a 100 core charge. If someone knows a dealer with better prices I am all in.

Thanks Aero. I stumbled upon them yesterday but wasn't sure if they were true OEM wheels. The prices were decent though, just not sure how reputable the company or product was.

Try searching part numbers online. I thought these wheels were closer to $700-800 each. Try Pace Performance.

Stephen12ZL1 · 05-31-2016, 06:44 AM

$680ish is just about the best price I have seen others mention

What dealer was that? A Chevrolet dealership? List price for them is just over $900 and core cost is $50, not $100. I purchased wheels this past year and both Corvette and Z/28 wheels have a $50 core charge. If you know anyone who can purchase at garage price that could save you 30+% off retail at a Chevrolet dealership. Here is another example- http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oe-gm/22873225
