The wheels are made in the good ol' USA of 100% aerospace grade aluminum and are extremely lightweight. Initially, there will be 2 styles available, a mesh (Style 109) and a 10 spoke (Style 110), with more to come, and are available in the following sizes, followed by a nominal weight (+/- .5 lbs depending on exact style and finish)

microboby is infamous around these parts
Those wheels look pretty good but pricy , I guess at that range staying with the HRE is the way to go.

The wheels themselves are SAE J2530 tested, and the factory is in process of receiving TUV verification. They are machined on a CNC from a forged blank.

I believe that the MSRP is ~800 less per set on a 19" and ~1200 less on the 20" vs the HRE monoblok with no discounting from MSRP allowed by HRE. To some, that is an insignificant amount, and to others, it may be worth it.

Can you do these in the right sizing and offset for a 1st generation Camaro?

No, I don't believe so....sorry!

However, I could make any sort of the 3pc wheel for it if so desired.
