Default Question about AFS Wheels....

I just want to make sure that they have the DEEP centers on the back wheels to compensate for the depth like the GM version.

Nevermind,...I just got off the phone with them...and they don't sell the ACTUAL ZR-1 wheels with the correct depth of the rear center....it is the same BS as before when I bought from OE Wheels...except this time I made sure before I ordered...AAARRRGGHHH....any suggestions before I have to pony-up to the expensive GM wheels? I want satin finish not chrome :rant:

You could always pick up a pair of Vette Brakes 3/4" adapters and use the GS offest.

Aren't you trying to sell your ZR1? Or have you decided to put new wheels and keep it? I love the dark red metallic, one of my top choices if were to get a ZR1.

If you want I could send you some pictures of my GS offset wheels with the 3/4" adapters. With the adapters painted the same color as the rotors you barely notice them. And as far as I can tell there are no problems with running a 3/4" adapter on the car.

Now if you were going to put a 1½ adapter on there you might be asking for some bearing trouble.

I got them from Vette Brakes here in the area. Let me run out there with the camera

Pics didn't turn out well. I will take some tomorrow in better light.

I just picked up a set of brand new, GM, ZR-1 5-spokes for 1200 bucks. The wheels are still in thier original GM boxes.
I think 1200 buack was a good deal.

But there is a guy on here selling a set still in the box for 1300 I think it was. I almost bought his, but then I fell on these that I bought. Now I only have 2 and a half sets of GM 5 spokes and the 1 and a half sets of the original directionals. Man I have too many wheels.

LowFlight,

If I was you I would get a price from Dave Bright.
He gets a great discount through a friend at a Chevy Dealer,
who is also a ZR-1 owner.... It can't hurt.
david.bright@sun.com should do it.......

Good Luck,
Mark B. :seeya
