Nice, but they're awfully similar to stock C6 wheels.

I let my tire guy put me onto Fuzion ZR-I's on my Z-52 '88. They are great in the canyons (tons of grab) and are wearing very well...so far (7 months). For the price, how you gonna beat 'em? They even have rim guard sidewalls.

Like the Goodyear Eagle F-1's, the sidewall surrounds the rim bead. The rim edge is recessed into the tire sidewall. So, if you lightly scuff a curb
the tire sidewall takes the hit and not the edge of the rim. It seems that all the tire manufactures are slowly starting to go to this now on their newer "performance" tires. BTW, Fuzion is made by Bridgestone which is Japanese Firestone......

Are they aftermarket?
I think the wheels look great! Are these stock C6, or after-market versions?
After-market meaning sized, offset, and backspacing for your C4? Can you supply that info?
Thanks,
JC

They were on back order and it only took 15 day to get to me since I placed my order. Excellent customer service as well. Definitely recommend them.
