go chromed gm imo. no need to get a knockoff if the others are original gm wheels.


yeah, I'm retarded for even considering the knockoffs. Chromed GM one should be here in a week

it probably wouldnt be a terrible idea to just get the tire rebalanced and the inside lips cleaned. but it all depends on how bad the dent is, ive personally had big dents in my rims and as long as the seal is good when mounting ive had no issues.


dealer tried this, it lasted about 3 weeks before leaking again

this is your vettte's way of politely telling you that she wishes to have to meaty wide aftermarket tires/rims


I'm 285 in the back, thats wide enough for me. Mine isn't widebody so if I go wider they will be sticking out, I hate that look

OP what site are you talking about with replicas for 180 chrome ?? i need some rims for my z28


I'll PM you the link he sent me, they are 17" knockoff z06 rims. Check around locally, my sister has a 95 Trans Am and scored a set of factory chrome 17s for like 350ish. They just needed to be cleaned up and polished

you already answered your question..

if it does it while in motion and at higher temp (moving because air expands) then yes your rim is causing you the leak.


Or maybe the valve stem is leaking by when pressure goes up I'd try this cheap option first
