Default Where to get ZR1 wheels for my '96 Coupe ?

Where is the best place to find ZR1 replica wheels for my '96 Coupe? I have seen them in MidAmerica catalogs, but I didn't like the price.

Any ideas?

OEM meaning GM? If so I am interested (If they are the real ZR-1 sizes and offsets)

please email me at bansell@cetacean.com

Atchisbr, real ZR-1 wheels 17x11's will stick out the sides of your car, you will want the "GS" 17x11 offsets (50mm) for the rear of your car.


There are a couple of aftermarket company's making ZR-1 Amold copys in both 36, and 50mm offsets. THe only problem (for me anyway) is they no longer make the deep centers in the 17x11 wheels like the ones GM had.
Some don't care about that, since it is only a look thing. But since I have a ZR-1 I want the right look.

I have heard good things about AFS, and you can pick up a set of ZR-1 wheels for your car for about $500 sometimes less on ebay!!

good luck!

You can get a set of chrome ZR1 wheels off eBay new for under $1000.
I bought my buddy a set and he loves them. 9.5 X 17 front and 11 X !7 back.
I bought mine from exotic muscle from corvettefever advertisement. they have the deep dish rear wheels.
