Default ZR1 wheel question

Now I point you in the direction of the 1990 model year wheels on the basic Corvette's.

Did they make those wheels in an 11in rear for the ZR1 or did they just go into the sawblades? I really like the 1990 style wheel.

The 90 ZR-1 wheel is the same as the regular 90 wheel, only 11in. in the rear. Saw blades came in 91.

Nice.

That 11in offset should be good with a 95 vette right? If so I'm going to watch out for a set.

IIRC the offset is something like 57mm and the standard offset is 38mm or so. With the ZR1 being 3" wider than the "base" model, the offset will make the ZR1 wheels look wierd on the base model.

I'm sure one of the experts can explain better.
