I have a genuine set of ZR-1 A-molds i'm thinking about selling. They are silver with the polished lip. These are the AFS wheels that are made in Japan (if I remember correctly) and have the little logo in between the spokes. The tires are original Goodyear 275-40 front and 315-35 rear. The fronts are pretty worn, but the backs have lots of tread... although the backs are a little cut up on the sidewalls from hitting the rear fender (previous owner had them on a Camaro) They include the tire pressure sensors as well. There is no rash on any of the wheels. There may be a light scratch here or there but the wheels are pretty much mint! I will get some pics up tonight of them. Looking to get $1200 plus shipping.






The wheels are dirty in the pics and its about to rain here so I didn't get the numbers off the back but in the last pic you can see the JWL logo and that logo is on all 4 wheels. There is ZERO rash on all 4 wheels. Maybe a light scratch here or there but again, they are very nice rims!

Are you aware you can buy these wheels new from AFS for $525.00 ? Your posts says they are AFS.

Didn't AFS make the original ZR-1 wheels? These are the deep lug rear wheels with the 36mm offset. They are surpisingly pretty light too.

Found this too:
This is the stamp I was reffering to in between the spokes

AFS did not make the OEM A-mold wheel. They did make an identical copy for a while, but they no longer make that wheel.

If it has the JWL casting, which I believe is reserved or OE manufacturers, its not AFS.

Interesting. I'm positive it has the JWL on all 4, i'll pull them off tonight and verify manufacturer.
Edit, just found this thread to help confirm what I have. Mine are the same as the ones in this thread:

Well perhaps I learned something new today. I always read that the AFS wheel was made in The US and the design switched when it became Chinese production. I will defer to the zr1 guys as they would have better knowledge of the subject material

No worries! There are so many different variations of this wheel, it makes finding an OEM set alot more difficult.

This will explain JWL stamped on the wheels.

I recall this stamp on wheels dating back to a old toyota celica and a couple of old Z cars from the late 70's. I once thought it was a specific manufacturer but it is a proof stamp, so to speak. I have a set of ZR1 knock offs that I believe are of Chinese origin. Installed by the previous owner. They were sold out of Florida under the OE Brand. The wheels that I own do not have the JWL proofing, so lord only knows what if any standard or standards they might meet. (If I had the available coin I would buy these wheels being offered by the original poster...)

Hope this helps a little...

PS I hate China.

Those are OEM ZR-1 wheels based on the photos. They were made in Japan.

Here is a bump SY,

Factory A-Molds are not made by AFS. AFS was just an aftermarket company making knock-off.

FACTORY WHEELS ARE FORGED AND ARE A COUPLE POUNDS LIGHTER THAN THE KNOCK OFF AS A RESULT. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THE JWL WILL NEVER BE FOUND ON ANY KNOCK-OFF.

I sold my my AFS, they needed allot of weight to balance and when spun on a balance machine they were able to be balanced, however they were not very true wheels.

Factory A-mold are getting harder to come by.

Good luck.

I am not seeing a ZR-1 rear wheel in the photos.... They look like Camaro wheels to me.

There's 2 snapshots of 11" ZR-1 wheels in the OP's post. The 11" ZR-1 wheel be it an A-mold, a '90 MY wheel or even saw-blade style are quite popular with the Syclone/Typhoon enthusiasts.
