As for the the difference in the car's overall appearance, these AFS black chrome ZR-1 wheels with 275/40/17 tires look a lot better than the old chrome 5-stars with the 245/50/16's.
Anyone want pics ... just IM me and I'll send you some with the new wheels on. I'm taking pics tomorrow in case anyone wants to see what the wheels look like.

I called them today. They said that the ebay store is seperate from them, but still AFS. They change from time to time. She did give me a much better price then the web, but still a $170 more than ebay. They have a set w/the HTRZ Sumitos. I may get those if I sell my 02 WS6 rims.

My black chrome rims with Goodyear/Kelly EVO-Z's (awesome tires) were $1,242 including shipping, balancing, insurance, and no tax. That was off Ebay. They wanted $1,700 plus insurance, balancing, and shipping costs when I called them over the phone .... glad to see you got a better price than the Ebay price. Hope you like your new rims. They're really nice and have drawn a lot of compliments from people.

Yes I bought my polished ZR1s off ebay 2 years ago from AFS. I got the 17x9.5 and 17x11 for the rears. I think it was something like $550 plus shipping

I have heard that the OE wheels are 5-6 pounds heavier then the AFS. If itys $60 more for the AFS wheels than thats worth it to me. I called Tom Z and his prices are great, just dont want OE wheels until the AFS option has been exhausted.
