I have not seen any aftermarket rims like that and I can get better rims for 2k. They sale the ugly newer ZL1 rims but not the first style

Thank you, I think they will look nice if I can find them. The new zl1 wheels look like dog ****, I don't know why they don't sell these. I'm gonna see if I can find a set.

Re: Looking for ZL1 wheels
Styling aspects aside, there are 2 major problems with the 20" ZL1 wheels:
1) A 20" wheel and tire will weigh a lot more than a 17" or 18" combo with the same width wheels. Might be a 10lb per corner difference in some cases.
2) The tire required to fit on a 3rd gen would have a very short sidewall, something on the order of 2.75". That short of a sidewall will make for a terrible ride and also a lot of destroyed wheels and tires when you hit something other than a tar strip with them.

We know about the tire but a good rim can take a hit or two. Its for styling
