YearOne (http://www.yearone.com) is introducing a 17inch version of the famous Camaro 5 spoke Rally wheel AKA, Z28 wheel.

We will be taking orders soon with a low introductory price...... Stay tuned!

I like em! :beers:

No thanks...

Those are COOL! :)

For some reason I kind of like them. Something doesnt look totally right on them, Maybe its that I am not used to seeing such a big gap between the spokes. I guess it needs to be bigger with a bigger wheel though.

As long as they come with a 5" backspacing and a narrower size for the front.

I like em!

More pictures plz

I have never had a camaro or 71/72 Chevelle, but those (15") are one of my favorite OEM wheels...

I like the 17" version, BUT, Please include some more side shots (direct side, so we can really see the wheel on the car...

And since this is a Chevelle site, could we get some on a 71/72 Chevelle, or even a 1970?

And more specs please...

Only 17X9"? What BS? 17X9 should need close to 5.25" to 5.5" BS to fit a 275/40-17 all around on a Chevelle...

I've always liked that sublte stock/custom look!

What's the price range? I'd like to see a '69-'70 17" Chevelle SS rally wheel that's more affordable than what's already out.

Definitly an awesome look. Any pics of a 70-72?

those look really good, i just wish the center cap didn't stick out so far, kinda throws you off for a sec. depending on price, i'd be interested

FYI...YO link in sig no worky.

Initial impression, I do like the wheels but need to see them in person before I'm sold. And like someone else mentioned, also one of my favorite stock wheel.

I like them alot. :thumbsup: Would I buy a set? Depends on the price, If they are $250.00+ a wheel I'll probably choose something else but if they are reasonable I would definately look into a set depending on the widths and BS available.

LK

I like um. If they are priced right I would def be interested in a set.

Cory from Yearone,
Quick question off subject. Have you seen this early 70's blue Camaro in person? Just want to know if it has a stock blue 4-spoke sport steering wheel in it? Wondering if they ever made one in that blue is all.

The blue car has a black 2 spoke steering wheel and column. I am not sure if it is original or not.

I like them, and sounds like a decent price... BUT, I don't think the 5" BS will work for me. My car is lowered (just Eibach springs), and even with 5.5" BS (on 17X9.5 wheels), the front tires are getting close to the fender lip. these will push the tires out another 1/4"... Not that bad, but I'd rather go the other way.

Sure, these "fit" all those cars, but most look like stock suspension (or 4X4s from the pictures :D ) JMO, but I think cars with larger tires look really goofy sitting as high as the cars you posted (to be fair, I can see you were simply trying these wheels on a variety of cars, for our benfit...).

Questions for Cory.

Any details on the "rear" clearance? Obviously, these will fit "stock" suspensions (and stock brakes, right?), but I think a good number of us do NOT have completely stock suspensions and/or brakes... It would be nice IF there were other specs to look at, before commiting...


In you signature it states:
15% OFF with Website Only Sales Code: TEAM15
Spend $500 or more and get an additional 5% OFF
or Spend $1000 or more and get an additional 10% OFF

Would these "discounts" still apply to the Pre-sale wheels? If so, thats a pretty good deal...

They look very good on the camaro,would probably look even better lowered.

Any plans on making a 17x8?

Do they clear C5/C6 brakes?

The angled glamor shots are nice, but they still do not let you get a real idea of how they look on the car. We need a picture looking straight on at the car from the side to get a really good idea of the look of the wheel on the car.:)

You need a 17X8 for the front, 9.5 is pretty wide up there.

LK

How about a set of 15" on the front and the 17" on the rear ?
I think that would give ya a killer stance ?
If they match each other well enough?
T.C.

Thanks for the additional side shots!:thumbsup:

Hey Cory, will these wheels suck as bad as originals when it comes to getting them balanced? Why do I ask this, because the original rims are NOT hubcentric requiring that a finger balancer is used to get them to balance. If a finger balancer is not used the dolt at the tire shop will say "ALL OF YOUR RIMS ARE BAD". Would you like to ask me how I know this FACT?
I like the wheels but am partial to a 16" that looks closed to stock.

I guess I'll be the bad guy and say they look like crap,but then again I don't like any wheels bigger than 15",just my humble old fart opinion.:beers:

I'm on the same page as you. While they are interesting, I just cannot get into the taller wheels. Gimme a 15" wheel any day!:thumbsup:

If they were 15 " I would have a set for my 72 ss elcamino. I also dont care for tall wheels.

Make them in 15" sizes with different widths & backspacing. :thumbsup:

Even 16" as a compromise between the old school guys and the new big wheel guys would be cool.

Even 16" as a compromise between the old school guys and the new big wheel guys would be cool.Since no performance car has come from the factory with 16s in about 20 years, performance tire selection in 16" sucks. 17 and 18" wheels offer the best all-around performance for commonly available tires.

Hey! Can somebody get one of the hypocrites..er I mean Mods in here? I think it was put like this in a post earlier this morning, that has since been deleted. "What part of Do not post ads in the Tech Forums do you not understand" I can't remember which hypocrite..er Mod it was,but it seems we have a bit of a double standard here. Anyone care to clarify which group of people can post ads in the Tech forums and which group can't?
Mike

i think if it says "sponsor" under your name, you can post ads wherever the hell you want.
i just want to know one thing about these wheels (ok, 2 things).
1) are they made in the USA?
2) how about a 5X5 bolt pattern option? these would look killer on an Impala SS..
