  • Too good to be true????

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...32130&tc=photo


    Somehow I can't seem to think that those are quality wheels...... for $565 ive never seen anything remotely close to that cheap for Camaro's... what do you guys think?

    I got my black z06 wheels for $600 plus $75 shipping and they are awesome, I thought it was too good to be true but I guess it was true. wasnt the same seller though.

        I have no problem buying hot items if it saves me some money. I mean someone is going to buy them so why not me? That is a good price so jump on it if you want them.

          Those are some nice looking wheels none-the-less. I think, that he might not now what hes talking about. I know for a fact that BMW's dont have lug nuts, they have lug studs, so the holes would be different, and also, that he put 94+ Fbody, and not 93+. We all know that 93's are the same as 94's.

            Yeah I know what you mean about the BMW's having lug studs in place of lug nuts, but would that really make a difference in the wheel? as long as the rounded part of the stud/nut is what presses the wheel to the hub, in theory it shouldn't really matter. It says that they are available in 5X120 bolt pattern, which is what the camaro's have. The only other thing I was wondering about, is offset... It says that the offset is 38mm, what are the factory wheels? I thought somewhere in the neighborhood of 50mm????

                On the shipping it says $135 for each additional item. Does he count the wheels individually and gonna charge you $540 extra for shipping?

                Wheels look good though, might be a pain to clean with all the holes and spaces in them

                    Our cars have a 5-120.65mm bolt pattern. Maybe 5-120mm is close enough? I'd ask to make 100% sure.

                      has anybody tried or know anyone who has tried to fit a 5x120 on a camaro? I can't see .65mm being that big of a difference, but I dont want to pay $270 in shipping(two way) to find out it wont work.

                        wow, ive done some searching online..... Ive read a lot of things on other forums about this same question..... and have no definitive answer. Some people on the GTO forums have said that the GTO since manufactured in australia has a 5x120mm bolt pattern and to not use the GM 5x4.75" pattern. Others on a 3rd gen Camaro forum have said they use BMW(which use 5x120mm) wheels on their cars with no problems..... sheesh

                          If the wheels would fit over the studs, I would imagine the lug nuts won't seat correctly. Maybe it will be fine, maybe it wouldn't, I don't know [img]smile.gif[/img]

                            I think it does matter because they do make wheels that are 5-120, as well as the 5-120.65. If they are were close they wouldn't make the 120.65's. I'm no wheel expert though, just going by the numbers lol.

                            I also did a search at discounttire.com to see what wheels fit on Camaro's and all the wheels they listed had a 5-120.65 bolt pattern. Here's the link... link to wheels

                              I would not use 5x120 on an F-body.

                              Yes, it'll fit over the lugs.
                              Yes, it'll seem to tighten down correctly.
                              And yes, the uneven forces the lug nuts see pressed in the rim countersinks will cause them to come loose much more quickly.
