Remember that the ZR-1 wheels are 19" front and 20" rear.

Reproductions will be in user friendly sizes ... you can count on that .. it did not take long for after market companies to come up with C6 Z06 wheels in different sizes.

These wheels are super-nice and will be a super-pain in the neck to clean them up

I like them too and asked Factory Reproductions about it. They said roughly 10 months wait.

They are basically a knockoff of BBS wheels used on 2006/2007 BMW M3 with competition package. They might even be made by BBS.

well i mean they look like the majority of mesh wheels out there... which all at least slightly resemble one another.

personally i think the ZR1 wheels are significantly different though, just because of how the spokes split at the ends.
that being said, i don't like them that much... but i LOVE the M3 comp. wheels.

edit: you know, if you look at the ZR1 wheels, you can kinda see the C6 Z06 wheels in their pattern a little bit...

that's exactly what they are.

if you take away the extra spokes, they look exactly like the c6z wheels. with the additional spokes, they look like the c5z wheel was laid within the c6z wheel...it's a cool effect.
