Im looking for a set of wheels and have noticed that there are a couple different styles of black ZR1s (grand sports). One looks like I remember them to look, while the others have a dish in the rear and the spokes appear to be more flat and squared off. I like the second style better but dont know where to look for them?

You want the flatter, more square spokes? Those would be the OE Concepts. I had them on my car, they are in the sig. 11" wide with 50mm offset. They have the lip.
The 36mm are the Corvette ZR1 offset that have the deep center around the lugs and stick out on an F body.

sort of off topic but do the 17x11s work on a vert? i read in an ebay auction that they do not

in the full car picture they look the same, but the ones im looking for have a bigger lip than the close up pictures have.

The OE concepts are the ones you want. I did all the research when I bought mine but they were on back order. I had no wheels so took a chance on the "Factory Reproduction" wheels. The quality is great but they have the "deep lugs" rather than the lip. Mine are 50mm offsets. The "deep lug" has nothing to do with the offset.

there not ZR's but my guess is that i'm the only one with these SSR performance rims... if you can find them, i think they look pretty sweet

I got mine through Tomz - service was great. They were upfront saying that the ones I bought were not the ones they normally carried. I like what I got but would have preferred the larger lip of the OE Concepts.

As for the shootout, I would love to make it. But I think my wife is about to pop out our daughter any day now. I don't want to miss the birth of my first child. But I would love to see Tim's GTO, and Shawn's ATI powered 06 Z06 run.

The NICE" ZR1s are 17x11 in the back with a 32mm offset to give it that nice deep blocky look!

Those nasty high offset, 52mm or somthing Zr1s are the crappy ones...

The 36mm are made for the C4 ZR1 which had a wider rear half of the car. On an F body the 50mm Grand Sport offset fits best. The 36mm sticks out enough that you should put some air shocks on it, jack it up and put some louvers on the back window along with a chrome chain link steering wheel.

Well thats what hes asking for, the deeper offset rims......



Last time I checked, its all about stuffing the widest rim, and widest tire in the Fbody world.

Like 335s dont stick out

no the ones im looking for are the ones i posted a picture of above with the red trans am. i know trans ams have a wider *** and fenders but the ones ive seen on camaros with the same lip and spoke design dont stick out.

Jake, hopefully everything goes well! i bet its gonna be a whole new world for ya!

haha. please dont post if you are going to give bad info.
um.. if you have a 17x11 wheel w 36mm offset or a 17x11 wheel with 50mm offset etc etc. it will still fit the same tire

You want the 50mm offset 17x11s.
