Aftermarket reproduction 02 Camaro SS wheels? I've always wanted some for my car to paint like the 35th Anniversary edition wheel with black between the spokes but never could find some original GM. I came across these though:

What do you think? I don't want to be stuck with a set of crappy repro wheels you know?

Last thing I knew you could still buy the alloy 10 spokes and 35th LE wheels from GM. You just couldn't buy the chrome 10 spokes...

Edit*: I looked around and I think you can still get the alloy 10 spokes like in the pic but they don't have pictures on GM parts direct. Another idea that you might try that would look real good is the Z06 wheels that are machined faced like the 35th LE wheels. If you look around you can find them, they look good.

Should have searched myself first:


Wow these are freeken sweet! I'm probably going to go with these if I can find some somewhere! Thanks for the idea man I never even heard of these, yet they're amazing. Not many people have them either like the regular Z06's I'm guessing too eh? I want to be different

Yeah go for it man, they would look great on a silver Z. I have seen them on a couple of cars, but 35th LE's and regular C5 Z06's are way more common than those.

If you want to go even cheaper I like the looks of black on silver and white cars. Plus they do not show brake dust as bad...either way they will look good.
