found a set for cheap on ebay. they need refinished which is no big deal. I’m still searching for a set of 11" ZR1 rear rims, so again, if you see anything, let me know. first rim was just delivered ![http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo102/aeroking17/Syclone%202009/010408-02.jpg](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo102/aeroking17/Syclone%202009/010408-02.jpg) ---

set i got is mint compared to that. coulda saved you the hassle of dealing with GM cleared wheels. don’t you think 11’s are overkill thou? i mean how much HP you tryin to put down? your gonna be hard pressed to get a set because that is the year the ZR1 is worth the most money. no one is seperating them from their cars. ---

Is the offset different, it wont matter much unless they are staggered? Not to mention… is the 1.5" worth the money your gonna spend, will it really be that noticeable… I not sure I ever saw the 9.5" all around ---

the stock wheels are a different offset. running same size wheels on all four, the rears stick in 1.25", and require spacers/adapters to be even with the fronts. however, the 11" vette wheels have enough offset that they line up perfect, without spacers. i dont want to run spacers. and the only solution to that is to find a set of 11" ZR1 wheels. ---

No but what I am saying is do you think the 1.25" on each side will be a noticeable eye sore? For instance, I think Chris’s on his HD sticks out about 1.5" on each side because the 14bff is narrower… but I dont think you could really tell unless he told ya. If I was you id throw em on first and see… maybe it wont be that noticeable and you can save yourself from droppin more money Btw… wheels look great, cant wait to see em cleaned up and mounted ---

The vette wheels arent scratched, they’re just peeling, like my truck wheels were. Even if i dont use this particular set, $20 a piece for GM wheels is a good deal. I’ll clean them up anyways, incase it gets late into spring and i dont have wheels to run. ---

black on black is too much. u lose the wheels style and its too much black. black mesh/spokes with polished rim is a much different look and timeless. any kinda gun metal finsh just looks as if the wheels are dirty. ---
