Buy 4 spare donut tires to get you around for a few days!

I would personally get something from apex in -1 or -2 inch diameter if feasible

Look on FBMP or Craigs for your exact wheels.

I know it is not a vote, but I agree, stock wheels.

Thanks, that is helpful indeed!

Yes, the wheels are staggered. 20x10" front, 11" rear, and there is no spare. Just an air pump with an integrated can of fix-a-flat goop.

Interestingly, the true 2015 Z28 wheels are 19" in diameter. Rubber weighs less than aluminum.

if I were to buy new wheels, I would at least invest a few moments to look into a drastic look change.

I see some cars with really great looking aftermarkets.

I was going to say maybe wheels with black in them to bring more black into the ensemble. I like the idea of OEMs from eBay or wherever you can source them.

The photoshop is very nice, but the aftermarket wheels don't look their best. Besides being a little unnatural looking, they're overexposed. The actual wheels on the car would look better, but they're not my first choice. One thought would be powdercoating your original wheels when you refinish them. Could you post a closeup of just a wheel? Another thought is wheels that are black where you scrape them are going to look horrible once scraped. What are the chances of parking more carefully to avoid new scrapes?

Maybe my vote would be wheels with black in them and still unpainted in the curb feeler areas.

I would 1000% do 19s over 20s all else being equal. Much better tire selection, looks better, cheaper tires a big bonus.

I moved from stock 20s on my Cayman to 18's. I think modern car mfg put giant wheels on cars to suit taste not performance goals

Some random white ZL1s for ideas. I like the black rockers.

I like the black look, and would paint the OEM wheels black with plastidip (removable)

$20 and a few hours.....

onewhippedpuppy 09-16-2025 08:59 AM

I think the multi spoke options looks better than the blocky five spoke. Adds a little delicacy to the blocky Camaro body design.

How are you going to take your wheels in for refurbishing if the car is your only source of transportation?

Steve Carlton 09-16-2025 10:46 AM

Wyatt.

Finding someone to take the wheels isn't an issue. The issue is I don't like owing favors.

Wyatt would take the wheels, lend me his old Spitfire, and pay the shop.

I'm not doing that. I'm honestly trying to cool things with Wyatt. No, he didn't make me mad. Quite the opposite actually.
