So i saved my pennies and call Scott at OEWheels So after a little bit of BFH mod and rolling the fenders i fit a set of deep dish ZR1 wheels


So on that note thanks to Scott and Lance for making a great company. Definetly great customer service and would even recommend my mom to buy wheels from u guys lol



Thanks for the props, i appreciate that. thanks for your business also

did you get photos up on the "got oe wheels thread"?

i actually like the boefore wheels if they were 18's the would have looked better, but the zr1's are a much needed improvement over the 20's

Your car looks so good that if they made a deep-dish ZR-1s in zero offset, I'd have to re-consider that style that I wrote off so long ago. (because the SLP in 8" were too narrow and I don't want adapters.)

Congrats on the upgrade.

These were the 17x9.5 - 17x11 set right? They look awesome man. I think I might get a set for my black Z, I wonder if they come in polished.

U don't really need a fender rolling tool. I did mine with a heat gun and a baseball bat.
