ZLE Wheel recommendations for street tire setup

CruisintheCountryLife · 04-19-2020, 11:07 AM

Looking for a wheel set for my ZLE for a street tire setup. Looking at a set of Brixton Forged RF7s from a member here but according to willtheyfit.com, the RF7s will sit inward approx 1" at the rim from the ZLE stock setup. The rear setup will also sit inward also but very, very little. Are there other wheels priced similar to the RF7s that have a better front stance? I'm just wondering if anyone with a ZLE has been here and done this. Thanks!!

Standard ZLE:
FRONT 19x11 11mm OFFSET
REAR 19X12 41mm OFFSET

The Brixton Forged RF7s:

FRONT 20X9.5 18mm OFFSET
REAR 20X11 38mm OFFSET

I have some MMR 19” reps for sale that I was using on my ZLE for street wheels until I got some signature wheels.

Here are the specs: 19”x10.5” +14 & 19”x11” +38

I got in on the Apex ARC-8 group by last year. I was researching going to the regular ZL1 setup but I didn't find that tires in ZL1 fitment were any more or less affordable so I'm sticking with 19" for the unsprung weight benefit.

I saw those... Have any pics if you don't mind?

If you're looking for ZLE spec 19" wheels or even other setups its hard to beat Apex for an extra set of wheels. I run them in ZLE spec with Mich PS4S; great for street use.

Might want to take a look at HRE.

MMR 716 are like $1300/set, Arc8 about 2x that and HRE.. about 4x that.

Going on 2 years and ~20,000 miles on my 716 - no issues other than ones I created myself.

Thanks guys!! I think I'm leaning towards the MMR or ARC 8 wheels. Mainly because of cost!

If you’re wanting 19”, I don’t think you’ll be able to find the MRR. Everywhere seems to have them on back order. I’m not sure if they discontinued them in 19s or not.

I have yet to see a great looking aftermarket wheel on a 6th Gen Camaro.

Why are no one producing good looking wheels for this car?

These are probably the best I’ve seen and even these aren’t that great.

And sorry OP. Didn’t mean to hi jack your thread.
