I bought two 17x11 OE Wheels ZR1's last March to go with my GM wheels up front. The spoke design matched perfectly and I'm happy with how it helped the stance of the car. I just have one little spot where it looks like the chrome plating didn't take (copper/nickle colored)...but its not bothered me enough to do anything about it. Great wheels for the money. Customer service is great, especially when a middle man vendor on ebay was difficult regarding an issue.

ECU Pirate your car looks great and thanks for your reply in my other thread.
I have a quick question about the center caps which come with the OE Wheels; They state that they only come with a Corvette center cap, which I do not want. Do you know if the Corvette cap can be replaced with any ZR1 center cap? How is the Corvette logo attached is it just a decal that can be removed, or is etched into the cap itself? I am also waiting on a call back from Scott about the same questions.
Thanks, that was actually two questions
I am going to try and order the wheels today.

You'll love them. Biggest complaint I had about my car originally was how the rear wheels/tires were set in from the fender an inch or better. These wheels fix that and give the car a hell of a stance. You'll want an adjustable panhard rod too if you don't already have one. I went with a double adj. one from BMR.
