I had them do a pair zr1's a few years back. It was cheaper than getting new ones and looked just as good. Congrats man, they look awesome.

I've seen these a few times and they always look awesome. I think Randy WS6 was trying to sell his a long / long time ago and I was really tempted in buying them.

So I'm assuming you're using wheel adapters to get these flush? What size (1, 1.25 or 1.5") if you don't mind me asking and any other modifications to the inner fenders to make them fit?? Been interested in doing this for quite some time instead of just buying ZR1's.

nope. ZR1s you can buy 17x11...WS6's you can't and therefore have no choice if you want that width
