Default 17x11 chrome ZO6 rims!

Whats the word on these rims? Has anyone heard about anyone making these yet? I can't believe there is no company out there who wants a piece of this HUGE market. No one can tell me whoever decides to make these rims for us F-body owners won't make TONS of money. I know of 10 cars personally that will buy a set of chrome 17x9.5 or 17x9 and 17x11 ZO6 rims with plain chrome centercaps9no vetter logos) right now if they were made. I personally would buy three sets for my cars.

I might be interested, only if they are lighter than the 17x11 ZR1 bricks.

After doing a search on here for more information about 17x11 Z06 wheels I can not believe a manufacturer has not started producing them. I found probably 10 threads, plus a bunch of replies, from people looking for these wheels.

It looks like there was a chance of a company making them, but from what I can tell nothing has come of it.

A company won't make a wheel unless they think they can sell thousands of sets. It's just not profitable otherwise. If you really want them so badly, get a pair widened by a reputable shop. It's been done before.

In my opinion...if I can get a pair of 17x9.5 chrome ZO6s widened to 17x11s and they work as well as ZR1s and are as strong, I'll do it! I don't care about the cost, as long as you can't tell after the hoops are mounted. I really want HREs or FIKSE but thats later, ZO6s are much cheaper. Any idea of where to have the ZO6s widened, CORRECTLY? I don't want to be cruising and have one of my rims break in half.

I was told that we would never see a set in production. There was a Company looking into into it but the Corvette guys like their 18x10.5's and that only leaves us.....
