They came on the z28 i just picked up and im trying to find out what they are, and what theyre worth? Im putting some serious consideration into selling them to buy a kick *** set of nittos and front tires for my track wheels.. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Looks like a repro ZR1.

What is that weird black molding on the edge of the wheel opening?

 

****ty stick on molding the previous owner had on it.. Not to worry though, the front end is already swapped.. Check it out! Also, any idea what theyre worth?

 

Do you know the size of the wheel? Are the fronts and the backs the same?

 

Ill measure them in a few and check. Theyre 17's but i have to check the width.
Thanks igotyou! lol

 

Typical sizes are 17x9.5 (front or all around) and 17x11.0 (rear). The front wheel pictured looks a little deeper dish than my 10 year old polished AFS ZR1's. And the edges of the spokes look a bit sharper than imne, so may be a different manufacturer.

The Camaro factory SS wheels have a similar appearance, and SLP sold aftermarket sets. They were only 17x9.0".

This is the AFS 17x11.0. Ignore the oversize lug nuts... I have extra long 1/2"-20 studs for my drag wheels.

 

Trying to figure out how they are measured? Is it from the back of the weel to the front, or the back to the lip? Here is a pcture of one front, and one back. Excuse the filth.. The car needs a bath!

 

diameter, width



back spacing.

 

Thanks Razor! So that would make those wheels, front and back both 10.5"? That doesnt seem right, they must be 9.5's? Its probably a lot easier to make the measurement with the tire off!

 

You measure the outside of the wheel - with the tire off makes it easier. If its a 9.5" wide wheel, the actual width will be closer to 10.5". A 9.5" wide wheel has the 9.5" measurement between the bead seats, as shown in the diagram above. The 9.5" wide ZR1's (and that's what yours look like, based on the hubs) are typically 10.4" wide if you lay them flat on the floor. and put a level across the top.

 

whats that tire size? Looks like P245/45R17. If that's the case the tire is 9.65" which would likely make the wheel 9.5" wide and 17" diameter.

Just a guess though the only way to really tell is either to find the make and model of the wheel to pull up a spec sheet or to take the tire off and physically measure the wheel.

 

razor, yeah thats the tire size!! sry, didnt realize the post had a couple replies!!

 

The wheel size (diameter, width, and back spacing) should also be cast on the back of one of the spokes. You might be able to use a mirror and see it without even taking a wheel off the car.
