They are heavier, and they do not have the correct deep lug for the rear wheels like they use to have. There are several pics on here that show what they look like.

But, if you want the A-Mold look, you can't beat their price.

I have owned 2 sets of their wheels for non-ZR1s, and was happy with the quality.

Working on a set now that is weighted 2lbs heavier than stock and they are doing it just for the ZR1registry. Will be available in Chrome, Black Powder Coat and Stock finish.

I am hoping to have some samples to us before Carlisle...

This is some good news as I've been looking awhile for a 2nd set of wheels for my 94Z. Will they have the correct Z offsets, front 54mm, rear 36mm?

Whoever got them to do that, THANKS!!! Way to few choices for aftermarket wheels and ZR-1's. I'm on the Black ones if the offset is correct.

They are PERFECT replica's... The GS registry had them done and they came out 99% correct. Because of the factory making 2008 Indy Pace car wheel too "priority" over the ZR1 wheel project, but we will have samples to inspect @ Carlisle!

Can't wait because i pre-ordered the Black Powder Coated and Chrome wheels!

We priced it out and it was under $1000 shipped for chrome and under $925 shipped for black powder coated / original finish.
