Did a test fit over the weekend. 2009 Corvette ZR1 (reproductions) 18" X 91/2" +56mm. offset. Perfect fit. Tires will be 285/35-ZR 18". Don't know what brand yet.

I've been doing well. I'm about to close on a house in under a month. I can't say I know anyone lookign for a set of wheels right off hand, but I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Will do. Still haven't made a tire selection yet. Looks like either Nitto or Sumitomo.

$990.00 delivered to my door. Don't forget: these wheels are reproductions. I'm guessing original ZR1's would probably be double the price.

If you wanted, can you buy original wheels through a Chevy dealer, or somewhere else? Is there some sort of downside to going with reproductions? Just curious, because at some point I'm probably going to want some wheels, and wheels seem to be a very confusing subject from what I've gathered.

I'm sure you can go to your local Chevy dealer and order whatever you want. The only down side would be the price. They tend to be very expensive. Reproductions/ after market wheels are much less expensive. But, if you want "original equipment" your Chevy dealer can provide them.

In addition to that, real ZR1 wheels might not even fit your Camaro. I don't know if the bolt pattern is different, but I'd almost put money down that the backspacing is different.
