Issues After New Wheels Installed

Looking for any issues people have had after installing new aftermarket wheels.
Like: TPMS lights, or lights dealing with wrong height wheels (is this a big issue), or with wheels falling apart because they were cheaply made (bad chrome, or painting).
Still shopping, but like to avoid the bad wheel problems people have experienced since putting them on

Thx

I've had 2 sets of 22"s and no problems so far. Just make sure you use the hi bring of needed. That's the only thing that I almost had a problem with my my tire lady noticed it before the wheels were mounted.

Check offset, you need a min of 3mm clearance to the Brembos calipers. Wheels I orderd showed the offset and said they fit 2010+ Camaros (which they do but didn't account for Brembos), with Brembos only had a 1mm clearance .

I added 3mm hub centric billet aluminum spacers

I'm guessing if you order from one on the sponsers here, they will take all factors into account and get you straight to avoid and lights flashing at you (except the TPMS)..

thx

You definitley want to get the Chevy TPMS monitors that programs with the Camaro unless you don't mind that "idiot" light coming on the display. Worst case scenerio, just push the reset button.

Heard issues about the lights (think the stabiltrak thing) if wheels are off by a certain distance from each other. Do a search and you will find the thread.
