also, is it me or do your rear wheels have a deeper dish to them then mine? I had to install a 4th gen rearend into my car which is wider then the stock one just to get these 11" wheels to fit right w/o spacers. the only problem is that I do run spacers on the front and I wish my rear wheels had a deeper dish to them. I am thinking of having them modified a little bit maybe moving the 5 star design further back another 1.5". This will allow me to run my stock rear end again and hopefully tuck my wheels under the wheel well a little more. I still gotta figure out if its worth it or not or if I should just sell them and buy new wheels that fit my car w/o spacers. Im almost positive these wheels have the same specs on them as the ZR1 wheels. DO you have any other pics of your wheels? Id like to see a close up pic of the rear wheel and compare it to mine at the top of this page.

Also, you see my custom center caps in the first pic. They are billet aluminum and fit snap in place with a rubber O ring seal. I will be screwed if I loose one since they are a one off design.

Here's some that may help you determine if mine have a deeper lip. FWIW, Mine are definitely not the same offset as ZR1's. 84-87 Vettes need spacers or the wheels look too far tucked under...

Yep. your rear wheels definitly have a deeper dish to them the second lip is deeper then mine. I wish I had those instead. I wonder how much it would cost to have a company remove the inner part of the wheels and reposition it about 2" further inside the wheel hoop. Definitly nice wheels though. Those pics are making me want to strip the paint off mine and have them polished up nice. I would have done that but I dont think they would have looked as nice on a silver car.
