All OEM SS wheels are 17X9". It's very possibly that the replica wheel you found is 17x9.5" and is probably a few pounds heavier as well.

I think he's asking if ZR1 Corvette replica rims and ZR1 style SS rims are the same. BTW, OEM SS wheels are 17x9 if they are 10 spokes.

Like I said, all OEM SS wheels are 17x9". You measure from the inside of the wheel, not the outside.

Yes, the ZR1 5 spokes and the LS1 SS 5 spokes are the same (17x9.5) Not sure about what comes on the LT1.

A replica wheel is not going to look the same as an OEM wheel. There are noticable differences that are only going to be exploited by having 2 different types on at the same. Your better off contacting SLP and doing it right.

I agree unless you are lucky enough to find some from another member that are in a-1 condition like I did.

OK people you need to get your facts straight before spewing them on the internet:

All, and I mean ALL I.E. every single solitry GM and SLP installed 17" Camaro SS wheel (including the 5 and 10 spoke design) is 9" wide, no if's and or butts!

Now the OEM Corvette ZR1 and ZR1 style was 17" x 9.5" . . . .

in addiation to that the ZR1 spokes are a bit different from the SS style spokes. Very slight differences, but comparing two side by side, you can notice it.

AND ALL GM STAMPED SS WHEELS FROM THE SS CARS, ARE 17X9!!!!

I've got a pair of ZR1's in my living room, one has GM on it and the other has nothing stamped on it. Both are the same width (probably 9") and look identical.

I'd trade the GM one for the replica if you pay shipping both ways since I don't care if I have OEM or repro's.

I have OEM chrome ZR1 wheels that were an option on my 2002 SS and they have no GM stamp anywhere on the wheels, inside or out.
