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.

I was able to use my SS center caps from my two GM wheels that I replaced with the 17x11's from OE Wheels. They just pop out and snap in like they would with the GM Wheels. I was originally told by OE Wheels that they probably wouldn't work, but I had no problems.

Thanks for the compliment! Any further question or anything you want to double check, you can certainly PM me too.

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.

red calipers and black outside part.

Rims look nice I am running the c6 Z06 DD 18x9? front and 18x10.5 rear. I kind of wish I went 18 front and 19 rear. When ever I can dig my car out I will post pics. These wheels look better bigger!

the 18's on back make them look really small be cause the sidewalls of the front tiresa are alot thicker than the tires on the back. to me it looks . but i guess it doesnt bug anyone else.

The 17/18 combo looks a whole lot better when the stance is correct.

Just got off the phone with Scott and ordered a set of the 18x9.5/18x10.5 chrome dd c5 wheels. I'll make sure to post up pics when I get the wheels in and tires mounted.

Thanks again for your help Scott, and thanks to OE wheels for making the 18x9.5 fronts happen with these wheels...thats really what sold me on em! -Ryan
