Default SLP wheels. Please tell me what you think how they look.

I just put these wheels on my Camaro. I was desperate to replace the cheap reproduction wheels I've had for 2 years and I've never seen these before. These are not repros, they are from SLP. I know they have similarities to Z06 wheels but there is a bit of a difference. I just wished they came in black and not gunmetal gray.

Those aren't terrible!

They just do not do that car justice at all.

It works with the rest of the car. Paint the rims the same shade of the stripes and it would look like the car came with factory 18"s.

It may be hard to tell but they are machined face on the spokes. Thanks for everybodies opinion. I know they aren't a drastic change from other Z06 wheels but I hadn't seen these before but I mainly was trying to acheive a much better quality rim and that they were of an SLP product, I'm very happy with them!

If it weren't for the fact that I blew all my money on the engine rebuild 4 months ago, I would have had $4k I wold have liked to have spent on the wheels I wanted. Just my opinion but engine BEFORE wheels. LOL!

I picked up a set of these wheels for my 35th as well. Haven't put them on yet but these pictures make me feel better about my decision. Looks good! I had not seen these exact wheels mounted on a Camaro yet, thanks for posting. Any clearance issues with anything?

How much do they weigh? Do you know if they're forged or spun cast?

They look great btw!

Yep, I like them to. They have a very factory look to them, but with a twist.

Did they come with the caps?

What were they designed for?

Holy crap! You guys are right! They are Ace Slick wheels! But after looking at them on Ace website at what the cost was, I can say I paid far less than that, thank God! I would have liked knowing that they sold an 18x11 because I would have gotten a set for the rear. I think I may try that this summer. I still love them! LOL!

No clearance issues at all. I already had 18x9.5's anyway and I debated about getting 19" wheels or sticking with 18 and in Indiana, better stick with 18's with these crappy roads! LOL! Need a little more meat on the wheels.

In all honesty, SLP has their own account on Ebay and that is where I purchased them from. They were only $600 for the set. I loved them so I thought it was a steal. On there actual website they well the same set for $200 more. They were intended for Corvette if I'm not mistaken but the had them listed for Camaros as well. Yes, the caps came with them.


Quick Reply: SLP wheels. Please tell me what you think how they look.
