WTS: ZL1 10 spoke wheels , 3 damaged :(

[DavidW]

So lets just say my ZL1 met a curb pretty hard the other night , not sure what I want to do at this point I am rocking a set of 10-12 SS polished alum wheels. Long story short, I over estimated the stabilitraks ability to intervene and put the car back in line, don't wish to discuss it any further. Anyway on to what I have to sell.

Driver's Side Rear
Wheel damaged as you can see in picture , tire blew out when it happened.



Driver's Side Front
Wheel damaged, sidewall/rim protector pretty messed up, I wouldn't want to re-use this tire




Passenger's Side Front
Wheel damaged on inside, probably fine to just sand it smooth and use as is , the tire has a little bit of skin off, but again should be fine to use.



Passanger's Side Rear
Only Wheel to make it out without damage, tire is fine as well.



If you want to make an offer send a pm or post in the thread with what you're offering on exactly (which wheel(s) tire(s) and if you wanted the TPMS too. All the wheels only have the damage that I pictured, I can send a close up of both the face (although the pics up are close ups of the face) and rear of the wheel to a serious buyer. Sorry for the rotated pics my image hosting site was being a P.i.t.a and I gave up on trying to rotate them.

Sorry to hear/see this. You don't owe anybody an explanation as we've all been there. Exploring the limits in these cars is no joke.

[Chaotic73]

Are all rims usable with out fixing the damage?

[rgrmoreira13]

If you are going to sell it then how much are you willing to sell them ?

and no need to explain we all want to test the limit of our cars.

They would hold air, well 3 of them do fine for sure, and I'm pretty confident the fourth would as well. The driver front looks to be the worst imo but it holds air fine, the drivers rear has a blown out tire but It doesnt look as bad as the front so it should be fine as far as I know.
I would say they are fine to use as far as I know, but I am no expert, maybe someone more experienced in curbed wheels or wheels in general could chime in.
If I was going to use/fix them I would probably grind off the material that is pushed up/out of place and then fill in the area with some sort of filler or liquid metal, sand, and paint. I was going to do a quick job of that in my garage.
But then I decided I have these SS wheels to use so I'm either going to get it done right, or get a new set of wheels.
I don't even know what to price the damaged ones at thats why I was looking for offers.
The only thing I know I saw was somebody looking for 1 good rear wheel for $600+s/h.

If you're interested in the something or the whole set pm me and let me know what you're working with financially.
At the moment I'm leaning towards some aftermarket 19's just debating on if I should go for them now, or just keep the SS wheels till next summer. So if I could move these then it would really help with that.

[cvp33]

Get the factory reproductions for now. Best $919 I've spent.

[DavidW]

I'd need to get 2 tires to run those, or get rims narrow enough the ss tires fit so I might as well just go with what I want.
Its all a lot of money. $2400+ for the 3 rims I need (New) and then I would go with different tires because I am not a fan of the Goodyears and I need 2 either way. So that option is probably around $4000.
The other option is the 19's I would run 285/40/19/'s all around that would be around $3000, my biggest concern is going back to a wheel that is not forged, every other wheel I have ever had except the 18's on my cobalt SS/TC were not forged but there must be a reason they opted for forged on the ZL1.

Factory Reproductions would be the $1000~ + shipping up to canada so lets say $1500, and then $800? For 2 tires so thats $2300 there.

It all sucks it could be worse though I didn't notice any play in the wheels when I grabbed them and tried wiggling them when I had it jacked up to change them. I didn't notice any marks or anything underneath the car. But I guess I will see if theres anything else to add to the expense list when a mechanic gets it up on a hoist, and checks the alignment.

So how much are you looking to get for all four wheels/rims? You can pm if you prefer.I could care less about the tires or tpms sensors. but if it is easier to ship for you.

[slickz28]

Pm me a price you have in mind and where can these be seen in person?

[DavidW]

Well the Car's in fine shape , the toe on 2 wheels needed a little adjustment but they don't think that was from this. The dealer's cost here is $890 per rear wheel, didn't check the fronts. The mechanic who did the alignment said he would just sand the one smooth that had the damage on the inner lip so to keep this set I would need at minimum 2 rims and 2 tires $2600~ unless of course I got the 2 other rims repaired. I think I would rather move them and get some aftermarkets even though I thought these were pretty much the nicest camaro wheels back when I had an SS

i cant see the pictures because the comp im on is crappy, but had a couple questions. i'll PM you in a bit

[DavidW]

I was being a dumby, and thinking I could remove the blown out tire from the damaged rim with tin snips, I ended up scratching the inside of the wheel a bit so now it will need to be sanded and maybe polished(not sure what the procedure is on that) in the two spots where the tire meets the rim (only a few inches on the inner and outer lip.
But I got a good top down pic of the DR wheel now.
While the DF wheel has a larger area of damage on the surface it isnt as deep into the lip , in other words it looks like the inside of the lip is minimally damaged if it is at all.
I will have the other 3 tires PROFESSIONALLY removed and then I will have top down pictures of the other 2 damaged wheels before I complete a sale with anyone.
At this point I am thinking $1500+s/h for the set of four wheels if somebody wants to take em all. At this point I am firm on that price.
For the tires I am thinking $400 + S/H for the PF & PR together , I am firm on that as well.
Anyway onto the pictures

[DavidW]

PF (this lip is a little pushed out on this one and would need to be straightened, it really is only just a little bit)
