4th Gen Camaro, SS/ZR1 JWL wheels Good day! I have a technical/statistical question. Does anyone know if 4th Gen Camaros ever received the JWL, 5 spoke SS, commonly referred to as ZR1 wheels? I have seen many with the GM stamp, and any with the JWL stamp I assumed were originally meant for corvettes. Just wondering if it was possible for camaros to receive the 17x9 JWL 5spokes.
Thank you!
Thank you!

If they are a true 17x9/50mm offset in this "ZR1" style, then I don't think they would have ever been used on a Corvette originally.
Having said that, there was in fact a period where one could purchase reproduction SS/ZR1-style wheels in the correct OEM sizing for Camaro SS (17x9/50mm offset). That was many years ago though, and now I believe that you can only get this style in OEM C4 sizing of 17x9.5/56mm offset.
I'm sure there are still some reproduction 17x9/50mm wheels floating around from years past, and their markings may vary.
