Default Who is getting the new ZR1 wheels....?

like the question states, what size, offset, staggered, not staggered???? I plan on getting the new ZR1 wheels in 19x10 all around what would be the best offset I can use without using a BFH?

Way big, way expensive and don't think they would look worth a crap on anything other than a Vette.

There are a few vendors on Corvetteforum selling reproductions right. More sizes are expected to come in a few months.

I'd like to see if any vendors come out with a 17/18 inch combo. I'd jump all over them and paint the spokes black with a polished lip.

Well it seems like you are sold on them. Wheels come down to the owner so why did you even ask here then?

I'm not sold yet, it's still up in the air. I want to know what offset I'll need to make them fit... If I were to get them.

I am sold on the rims....pending fitment. The prices are very reasonable for nice reproductions. I have found a set of black 18x9.5- 53 offset that I am hoping will fit. Probably just going to run the same size on all 4 corners. I'm going to try to order some here in the next 3 months.

If I do decide to get these they will be hypersilver or machined look, and go with the current Z06 brake set up, painted calipers in blue.
