Default ZR1 replica wheel quality

Does anybody know if the OE Wheels ZR1 style wheel Jegs sells is of decent quality? Considering them for an upgrade for my '86 (with proper spacers).

ZR1 Wheel

You can buy those wheels with the proper offset. I have AFS Wheels on my 86. The quality is very nice. The quality of the OE wheel are very good as well.

Thanks for the tip, although their website appears to only have Mustang wheels now.

I bought wheels from oewheelsllc.com but not the ZR-1 style....I was actually impressed by the quality. They balanced with no issues, fit great, and look good. Sucks we have to buy things made over seas, but it is what it is....

My wheels are OE Wheels, they're good quality. AFS no longer makes the style, but I had those in the past.

Quite a few people here are running OE wheels of one style or another. I've seen some people complain about the weight of them compared to factory wheels but if you're not racing it isn't a real problem. I got mine a few weeks ago and am very happy with them.

I have a set of the AFS ZR1 style wheels I bought several years ago, still new in the box. Let me know if anyone wants to buy them.

SR-71 Blackbird, the most beautiful aircraft ever made!

I’m not in the market for rims at the moment but you are nearby. What size are the rims and what are you asking for the set of 4?

Looking for some for my '86 Z51, what are the specs on these?
