Any chance the LS7 concept wheels will make it into production?

Those wheels are undeniably the best wheels I have seen on the Camaro besides the original concept wheels which take the cake. That being said, I believe the LS7 wheels are superior than the factory 21's which just look cheesy to me.

The Camaro deserves a nice set of 5-spokes and these are up there with the best of them.





So what do you think? Do you want them on your new Camaro? Vote now.

Those are a very subtle but nice improvement over the SS wheels.

im hoping to find a nice set of split 5 spoke wheels a year or so after i buy the car. nothing i've seen on the car so far jumps out at me, but those are better than the regular wheels which to me look the same as the rx8 and 350z...

Thumbs up

I really like that wheel, so much that I took a nice clear shot of it. It is attached to this post. Enjoy!

I would dig those wheels. Nice and classic! Not that I mind the SS wheels, just think these are better. They would complete my planned upgraded Camaro.
Since Chevrolet will MOST LIKELY not offer a factory ls 7, looking into lingenfelter doing a 427 conversion. Unfortunately it will be a couple years after I buy my SS, so I guess I will have to make do with 422 hp ( plus whatever gains lt's, intake and cat back add).

I agree, obviously. This wheel is very unique and has really grown on me. Hopefully Chevrolet can offer it just as they are the "sunflower wheel" from the concept 'vert.

I wish I could have made it to Sema to meet up with you guys. I usually shoot video for GM at Sema but this year cut the budget unfortunately. It's one of the highlights of the year for me. Last year was a blast and I got to see and rub elbows with Ed Peper and a bunch of other GM Bigwigs. Hopefully I will be back next year.

An EMPHATIC YES on the LS7 wheels. The SS and RS wheels are, for me anyway, already dated, as we've seen them for 3 years already. The Concept Convertible wheels were more interesting to my eye, and these LS7 wheels are great as well. I'd take either one over what's coming for the SS/RS

They're OK, (look too much like the 04-05 GTO rims) but I'd rather see that blacked out grill recess and rear bumper make production.

I'm not sure how you can see a similarity in those two wheels. They look nothing alike other than the fact that they are both 5-spokes. Also, the Camaro wheels are not chrome they are polished.
