they'll fit but they are not of very good quality. some require quite a bit of weights to balance them. You always get what you pay for.

I'll say it just like I said before that company has had some complaints, but the ratio of complaints vs. compliments/happy customers is crazy. I didn't let it stop me and I got a nice set of Z06's out of the deal.

The company just mass produces wheels, so there's bound to be problems with them, but you can't expect that out of the hundreds of thousands they produce for them all to be perfect. My only complaint against them that I heard that I wouldn't tolerate is their customer service.

I found no problems with my 17/18 Z06's and they had no problems balancing out.

I plan to purchase ZR1's from them also.

My black 17x9.5"s and 17x11"s ZR1s with the GS offset were perfect. Got mine from OE Wheels. $560 shipped.

I can't speak for the other manufactures, but the AFS wheels are awesome IMO. Great quality rim and a killer price. I've owned 3 sets of them. (Stang and 2 sets of ZR1's)
