Who makes the best replica Z06 wheels?
I saw a picture of a Camaro with 18 inch chrome Z06 wheels, and they looked nice!!!!!!! I was wondering who makes the best replica ones.

ZO6 WHEELS
I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE FROM GMMG THAT USING 17INCH FRONT AND 18INCH REAR OEM SIZE ZO6 WHEELS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD BY LAPD (PERFORMANCE, NOT THE POLICE) THAT THEY COULD GET ME A SET OF ARGENT FINISH OEM ZO6 WHEELS (17X9.5 AND 18X10.5 SIZES) FOR $1,900 AND CHANGE. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE POSSIBLE ABS PROBLEMS SO WE KNOW WHICH SIZES TO ORDER?

I got mine through AFS wheels. They are a great company to deal with. I paid $1776 dollars shipped with chrome locking lugs. This included Kumho Extca (spelling?) tires. All 4 are 18 x 9.5.
However there are sets of the wheels on ebay from a company out of sarasota, fl i think they are asking $995 buy it now option.
They look identical and appear to be just as good of quality as AFS's rims.
You'll love the attention that your ZO6 wheels get ya

go to Les Schwab tires. I got my Cobra R Replicas there for not too much. I remember seeing the Z08 replicas in the catalog.
Different size rims will only cause ABS problems if you change your overall diameter. Since the rear rims would be bigger, you'd have to get lower profile tires to compensate. You want the back overall diameter (rims and tires) to match the front and you can use any size rim you want/

The 18s fit really good all the way around. I have the eibach pro kit and i have to be careful occasionally when doing a U - turn or something to that extent to not turn the wheels all the way because mine do rub a little on the passenger's side. My passenger's side sits an inch lower that my driver's side, i need to get it on the rack and see what it causing this... But i think that you should be okay with your set up.

Another vote for afswheels. They make an great replica z06 wheel. Check my sig for pics. They fit great (no rubbing) and the chrome is perfect. My car sits outside 24/7 and I have had mine for a year and a half, and still no sign of chips or flaking of the chrome.
