Do you have close ups of the back?

I have been seeing a lot of ZR1 style wheels that look very different than my OEM GS wheels.

The Center Lug hub area on my GS wheels looks deeper and the lip on the aftermarkets looks deeper compared to OEM.
Can anyone confirm my findings?

Most likely 315/35 x 17. Not 100% sure though. Send a PM to Hammer.

I know what you are saying. Many of the after market manufactures don't use the " deep dish" like the factory GM 5 spokes. What I have seen is that the aftermarket wheels use like a spacer behind the wheel (where the wheel bolts to the rotor) to achieve the correct offset. Maybe the spacer isn't the correct term, but there is more metal behind the face of the wheel to achieve the correct offset for the application you are buying.

Does that make sense? This is what I have seen and I'm talking specifically AFS vs GM 5 spoke wheels. I have owned several sets of both.

Check here there are hundreds of pictures of all C4's from 1984-1996 with many different wheel combinations including the gunmetal ZR1 wheels:
