Oh yeah, all the fake ones have a different shape to the end of the spokes. Real 17x11's have a deep lug area, as do some of the fakes. All that have bigger lips are fakes. I must say, those fakes posted in this thread are kinda nice.

There are two different offsets of the 17x11 "ZR1" wheel. The Grand Sport Offset and the ZR1 offset. The deeper lug look was of the ZR1, and the shallow was for the GS. That's why it's said that the GS offset seems to fit better then the ZR1 offset.

We need Tom Z on here. I am looking for a price on the new deep dish wheels in Silver. 17x11, and 17x9.5 I suppose. All i really want is a pair of 17x11 silver wheels to replace my rear wheels with since I already have a set of GM 17x9's all the way around.

Tomzwheels carries both types. I believe when I did the research on mine the "Fat Lip" ZR1s are made by OE Concepts. I intended to order those but Tomz was backordered for 6-8 weeks and my car was without wheels. Tomz hooked me up with a brand called "Factory Reporoductions" because they could get those immediately. They are the "deep lug" version (which is what GM's original design looked like).

Tomz Wheels is on back order for the silver ZR1's. I have been pm'ing them for a few months to check and see when they are due in. I think it will be a while, but when they do arrive i will be getting the silver ones with a quickness.
