For comparison, they tuck in more then most ZR1 setups you see out there, we cannot move them in further unless you want to start removing the bumpstops completly and modifying the inner fender area quite a bit.
The wheels may look like they stick out just from the picture angle. It could also be the rear-end is also not centered.
I think the car looks fantastic. Good luck with the rear-end, let me know if you need any additional help or advise.

Thanks Steve, I love the look and it has gotten many compliments when I was driving it around for the short time the rearend lasted. I took it to the track and everytime I came back to the car there were people looking at it and asking questions about the wheels.
Oh yeah the rear is centered, thats the first thing I did before I mounted the wheels.
Getav8, I thought I already posted in here, hmm, well, those look sick for sure! Can you a rear picture that shows both of the tires from dead center of the car and several feet back? I wanna see what the back of it looks like from a distance. Thanks!

The part that many overlooks is that I can build them in a variety of ways to clear different brake combinations and STILL have the same backspace that you'll need. Different centers can be worked in to give different clearance specs needed as well as altering inner/outer shells to accomodate the widths that is required for the setup.
The best solution I can give you is to figure out which brakes you want, as long as i have the brake profile, I will see if I can put the wheels together to fit your calipers requirments.

I almost just bought those same wheels.
Instead, I went ahead and ordered the rest of my bolt-ons, my cam, and the necessary hardware. Next Spring, I'm getting those wheels and some ET Streets.
