I want to keep the factory style wheels on my 92 Camaro, but mine have a lot of road rash on the sides and are in pretty rough shape . I also don't have a lot of free time to refinish them myself, so I'm thinking buying refinished ones might be an option.

I see on eBay, factory AL 16 x 8 refurbished wheels for sale. They have good feedback and say they are stripped, machined, new painted accents in what ever color you want and then clear coated for $105 each with free shipping.

They list both front and rear wheels separate. Did these wheels come in different sizes and offsets? I want to make sure they fit with my brakes (b4c/1le).

Anyone ever buy these? Hows the quality?

 

i assume that 105 is with a core charge? there is no way that price includes all that work and a wheel.

the 16x8's have front and rear offsets. front being 0 offset, the rear 16mm positive offset. you can use the fronts in the rear, but the rears will only fit the front of your car because you have the 1le brakes, under normal circumstances, they will not fit the front.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Even though they would fit front and back on my car I would want to get the right ones for the car, so I would need to make sure to get two front wheels and two back wheels. How can you tell them apart? Are they marked?

I just got my car and haven't even had the wheels off yet. Does everyone just dismount and remount the tires to rotate them, I guess you'd have to.

The $105 price is outright with no core, or core charge, but they do charge tax.

ok, the center cap is not included. price doesnt look bad if the quality of the work is good.

The wheels are "front" and "rear" embossed on the backside of the hub. And yes, to rotate these you would have to dismount the tires unless you use tires that are not directional

 

Just a follow up, I went ahead and purchased a set of these wheels. They look great, very high quality refinishing job. They look just like new factory wheels.

 

Anybody know of any problems with running front rims on all 4 corners? I plan on doing this if it is only a handling difference
