It does bear a good resemblance to the ZR1 wheel. I'm assuming it clears Z06 calipers with no spacers or other gimmicks. (?)

Does it have any advantages over an OEM ZR1 wheel?
Cheaper?
Lighter?
Stronger?

Would also look good in regular chrome.

ZR1/C7Z style, concave, no lip. I'm in for black! Are they 1-piece forged?

Those, and the XF1s are my favorite from your line-up.

These wheels are low pressure cast wheels.

Black wheels are, quite simply, a hideous fad !!

That is good to know.
Are the wheels ISO certified?
Are they JWL or TUV certified?

Black Chrome or polished IMO, but……….it will be a PIA to clean unless one has ceramic pads.

Good deal!
One final question before I'm in. Will these and the XF1s clear C6 Z06 brakes?

I don't believe they look different enough to make a profit compared to other wheels sold in the market. Too many similiar styles like this. Nobody would notice.

I'm sorry you own an Audi. I feel bad for you. Hopefully you leased it or will get rid of it before big problems and expenses haunt you.
