Yep, those wheels you linked to are the right offset. I'm assuming that you're aware that they won't simply 'fit' without any modifications. Guys like Injuneer, Brent94Z, and myself have performed the mods necessary to install the 17x11 rears. You could probably find that info on a search of this forum for "17x11".

Plenty of people seem to order wheels from the place you mentioned without any trouble.

I may not be qualified to respond in terms of the quality over length of time, but I will say that I paid for my gunmetal ZR-1's from that vendor on June 28 and just got them today, 10 days later. They appear to be very good quality and I can't wait to get them on. And they're the same size and offset as those you're looking at. Now I just need to save up for the Nitto's and I'll be set.

Good luck.

I got the gunmetals from them for my 99z........nice wheel. Correct offset.

get an adjustable panhard rod and a big hammer and you'll be fine.
