Exclamation UPDATE: For those wanting 2009 Z06 and ZR1 Wheels.

I was fortunate enough to go to SEMA in Vegas last week and the wheel manufacturers are starting to make both the new Z06 Spider wheels and the new ZR1 wheels in some fitments that will work on the 4th Gen F-Cars.

These are the ZR1 replicas from "Topline"





The 18" x 9.5" with a 40 mm offset would fit perfect.

Factory Wheel Reproductions has a line of both styles too. I will post their information later, I left it at home.

I do not know the availability dates yet but I am very sure one or more of our sponsors would be offering these wheels soon!

There's a company on corvetteforum (and ebay) taking preorders for these. They're not cheap. I would also like to see a 18x10.5 option.

Not realy into those wheels and i'm getting tired of my Z06's. But damn every affordable wheel (mostly replica's) that i would be interested in..is either too damn skinny for the back or they only offer a staggered set-up..which i hate. Sorry for the venting and i know i'm not the only one that feels this way Guess i should just spend the damn $ on what i want and be done with it

How did the quality of the wheels look? I have seen the ZR1 in person and do like the wheel style.

Here's the info from Factory Reproductions.



They have both the ZR1 and the Spyder wheels.

Based upon the wholeslae price list included with the literature, the street pricing should be VERY comperable to the current C5 and C6 replica wheels.

Quality looks on par with all the replica wheels on the market.

I think a camaro would be able to pull off the ZR1 wheel but the Spyder would look cheap on anything but a Corvette.

Nice. The spyder wheels are quite an eye catcher.

Dude, nice photoshop above... the gold goes well. Looks like you were trying to fit some 19" wheels on some 17" tires though..lol
