I have a different style of ZR1, its older and the lip isn't as big. There are many variations of it out there now.


Glad you have luck with those sumitomos, I ran 315 sumis for all of 2 days before I pulled them off. They were total trash. I couldn't get traction up to 80mph, trying to downshift to pass on the damn freeway would end up with me fishtailing. It was scary as hell, and I don't make big power either.

Which Sumi's where you running?
I had HTRZ II's on my old WS6 rims and for the money I don't think you could beat them. I agree they are garbage compared to something else, but I really only had trouble with them in wet weather.
I now I have Kumho's on my C6 rims and they are amazing.

I've read that these rims fit stock cars, are there any adjustments required to mount these?

you'll probably be able to bolt them right up. if anything you may have to hammer in the inner fender well in the front. thats the place you'll have clearance issues. just order them and put them on. it's easy to fix the clearance problems.

i also rolled the lip on the fender edge just to be safe because i have the sportline springs and they are pretty low and i didnt want to cut my tires up...

FYI, i used a 5mm spacer on the pass side because the axle wasnt centered....

I just went and looked since I keep them in the garage in case I get a flat, its says HTR 35Z so I guess whats the older one. I'm just syaing my personal experience with those. I also had a pair of HTRZ II's on the front tires, and they were worse if that was even possible. They tracked grooves in the road like a damn seeker missile. I put my old, beat, sat-in-the-sun for 6 months 70$ riken raptors on the front and I swear it was like going from square wheels to round ones again. Maybe I got a bad batch of tires? Everyone else seems to like them.

[QUOTE=OEWheelsLance;11806552]
Today we received a shipment of the DD ZR1 in Black and Polished. /QUOTE]

I'd like to see both of those.

To the OP, your car looks great.

thanks, not often that i see an LS1 car with them. they are just plain out good looking rims.

i just wish the front offset was the same as my original ZR1s. the 56mm offset puts them a little deeper in the fender. maybe someday ill put some spacers up front to push them back out...
