ZR1 Wheel Options
Hello,
I currently have the 17x9 OEM ZR1 wheels on my camaro. I was thinking of buying just a set of 17x11 rears so I can go with a wider tire in the back. I would have to buy a replica I guess unless I can find some OEM Grand sports.
My plan was to buy the rears and take my current fronts to a powdercoater to have them done in a gunmetal pearl to match all of my engine parts.
My question is, are the replica wheels a good match with the oem wheels? Are the spokes exactly the same? What if I bought the deep dish rears? Would they match ok?
I am sort of a perfectionist, so if its something noticable....it will always bug me...lol
Anybody have pics of a replica next to an oem ZR1 wheel? or better yet does anyone know where I can find some oem grand sport rears?

There never was a 17x9.0" ZR1 wheel, to my knowledge. Do you possibly mean you have the SS wheels? The factory ZR1's, and the Grand Sport wheels were 17x9.5".
The "older" AFS replicas were a decent match to the factory ZR1/Grand Sport wheels. The current versions, including the deep-dish versions, appear to have spokes that have much sharper, less rounded edges than the real wheels.

Thanks Fred. I did mean the factory SS wheels. Bought the set from SLP several years ago. So it looks like my best option would be a whole new set from one of the replica manufacturers. Im not crazy about putting chinese wheels on my car though.
