Zl1 replica wheel HELP - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

okay I'm so stuck..
I don't know whether to buy the phastek factory reproductions replicas or the LG motor sports.
One thing that's steering me away from LG is it says only flat black is the only color option? On phastek, they have satin black which I want.
Is one wheel better then the other? Or are they identical?

Or should I screw it and get the z28 wheels by MMR. Wheels will be 20x10 and 20x11.
What tire size should I get?
Keep in mind I do have a v6, so wouldn't 315's be too wide and mess up my handling?

Help fast guys, ordering tonight or tomorrow morning. And where can I get good brand cheap tires?

Also is one wheel lighter then the other brand?

FR41'S would be your best choice IMO. The LG's match the OEM configuration the best, but don't come in the finish you want. I have polished 20x10+23 FR41's on 285-35-20's all around. I run this setup so I can rotate front to rear and for better handling. The +23 offset has a wider track and looks more aggressive. You nay have a problem if you are lowered with a 40 series tire. I think the ZL1 style wheel is one of the best looking wheels that matches the bold lines of the 5th gen IMO. Phastek will probably have free shipping and no tax to California. Factory Reproductions is in Chino, California and you may want to call them to see if they can beat Phastek. Good luck.

Quick question?! Should I 20x10 square setup? Or should I do 20x10 20x11 with 285's all the way around

SS PANTHER · 07-12-2016, 02:42 AM

If you want the ability to rotate from front to rear go with 20 x 10's all around. Must be a non directional tire to do this. If you want stock ZL1/1LE wheel sizes they are 20x10+23's up front and 20x11+43's rear. The 1LE runs 285's all around, whereas, the ZL1 runs 285's up front and 305's in the rear. The 20x10+23's all around would be the most cost effective with rotation front to rear to give you more tire life. The square setup is usually a better handling setup. Your choice. I'm very happy with my tire/wheel setup.

Dhaliwal559 · 07-12-2016, 02:44 AM

I'll probably go 20x10 and 20x11, but for tires. What's better? Go 285 all around or just go 285/305

SS PANTHER · 07-12-2016, 02:58 AM

The larger tire in the rear looks better. The cost difference with the larger tire in the rear is your choice. Check out tire rack to research some reasonably priced 285-35-20's and 305-35-20's. Read reviews. I have Michelin pilot super sports and they are not cheap.

Dhaliwal559 · 07-12-2016, 03:00 AM

I'll most likely go with the hankook ventus for 1300$ for all 4

Flotek · 07-12-2016, 03:05 AM

When it comes to wheels phastek is high but the service is hard to beat

SS PANTHER · 07-12-2016, 03:10 AM

I think the Hankook is a good handling tire, but I don't know about tread life, ride quality or warranty. My PSS's were $1300 when I purchased them about a year and a half ago. $312 per tire plus tax. They are a top rated tire with a 30k warranty.

Dhaliwal559 · 07-12-2016, 03:13 AM

PSS is michilen super sport right?

SS PANTHER · 07-12-2016, 03:15 AM

Correct

Dhaliwal559 · 07-12-2016, 03:16 AM

There about 370 a piece right now which is a little to high for me sadly

SS PANTHER · 07-12-2016, 03:20 AM

I noticed that. Wheels and tires make or break a car not only in looks, but overall performance. I hope you get what you want and can afford and are happy with your decision. I'm guessing your lowered. Otherwise, it won't look that good. IMO
