Default Tomz Wheels ZR1 Replicas??

I'm just curious how these compare to the GM wheels as far as looks. I have a set of GM zr1s on my car and want to go with a set of 11s for the rear, but am kind of torn on if the wheels will look the same. If the color isn't the same it doesn't bother me since I plan on painting them when I get them. But I'm just worried about the overall shape and size of the spokes.

Thanks in advance

Well ****, who else is selling zr1 replicas that I can just buy 2 wheels?

Thats crazy though, I just called them about 3 or so weeks ago about rims for my truck and they were really helpful but didn't have what I was looking for

Yeah they aren't selling them anymore due to his prostate cancer, but to answer your question you can't tell a huge difference. My roommate has OEM ZR1's on the front and 11 inch ZR1's on the rear. I mean if you look you can tell a differece because the replicas have more of squared off spoke where it meets the lip, but that is the only difference. Now if you were thinking about getting 2 replicas that were the same size I would advise against that. Btw my roommates name on here is jrob56 so you can look at his pics of his Z and see what you think.

I know thats what you are talking about doing. I'm saying that it will look fine like that, thats the setup my roommate has. I'm just saying it would look weird with like gm wheels in the front and the 9.5 inch replicas in the back, you know what I mean. Did you look at pics of Josh's car?

Ok I got ya man, I'm a little tired LOL and no I haven't looked yet, but will do so right after I finish this post

Thanks for the input man I appreciate it

And BTW I found another site selling replicas oemwheelsllc.com and their prices are pretty good too.

That sucks to hear about Tomz Wheels though, hope everything works out for him

Yeah its pretty hard to tell a difference especially since the 11s have a different lip anyway.

Thanks again guys
