Those wheels are clearly wider than the stock SS wheels in back. I'm guessing that this will be the 1LE/ZL1 wheel.

I can't see where these wheels are any different than the ones shown on the silver convertible and on the display boards at the reveal, CamaroFest or the find new roads tour. The accessories people I talked to at the above events stated that these would be available as a factory installed LPO in Dec. or Jan.

Did you read the thread? They are the same design as those LPO wheels, but are wider (to fit the much wider tires on the concept) and have a different offset (that moves them further out for a wider track)...

Yes. So they are wider and maybe have more offset but they are still the same wheels. We aren't talking about two different designs as some are suggesting.

You are missing the point though, because if you wanted THOSE wheels on the concept, (which is what this thread is about) you can not buy them yet. So if you wanted the wheels pictured, to fit those size tires, and with those offsets, you would be out of luck...

EDIT: Even the design is slightly different, as it seems the current LPO wheels have a different center cap/lug area...

Not sure where you see any difference in the wheel center.
This is my photo from CamaroFest and Phastek's photo from Sema.
If you are not aware of it, there is a black center piece that covers the lug nuts and the center. It is your choice whether to buy the center caps and not use the black covers.

I think he's referring to this wheel. It's the same wheel but it has some funky cap on it.

That cap is what will come standard with this forged aluminum wheel. You can paint it any color you like or just leave it black.
With the cap on you get kind of an optical illusion that the wheel is made up of V's. I think it is kind of cool looking. I may paint it Garnet Red.
You can easily pop it off and install the optional center cap of your choice.

Nice. Tires are 285 fronts and 305 rears, so does anyone know what the wheel widths are? Make these gloss and/or satin black, and these will be totally bada$$!!!

My guess would be 20x10 and 20x11 with those tire sizes.
