Default Where to Find ZR1 Repros that are Not Deep Dish?

As the title says. All I can find are the deep dish versions. I don't like them and would rather have the 'normal' lip.

I seem to see them all over here on the forum and out on the street....in fact I got tired of looking at them over the years which is why I just sold my chrome ZR1 reproductions that were in near perfect shape with 275's on all four (they were not deep dish).

I am sure you can find used ones maybe here on the parts (WTS) section and AFS wheels (just to mention one vendor). I think Mid America has them (or at least used to) and others.......

BTW; I assume you are referring to wide lip vs. narrow lip wheels.....

Try Googling OE Wheels--I bought a wheel/tire package from them a few years back on ebay.

I had a set of the OE's on my 92 and they are deep dish unfortunately. Some of the wheels AFS has on ebay appear to be non deep dish, but that might just be a illustration photo of the old wheel. Their descriptions don't annotate one way or the other. I thought i'd warm up to the deep dish wheels, but I could not stand them on my 92 when I had it. -Karson

I assume you're talking about the 11" wheels, as even true 9" ZR-1 wheels are NOT deep dish

I just laid down the Mid America catalog** and I believe they have the "ZR-1" style, in the standard 9". I'm pretty sure the "real McCoys" are 17x9.5" in front, and have no doubt that the rear is 17x11" (with the deep of-set for the lugs).

I love the (ZR-1 style) 5-spoke wheel...And too so does everyone else, it seems.

Well, if I'm going to pay Mid America prices I'd just go with a set of aftermarket wheels. I did not see the later style listed on AFS's site earlier.

They're the ones I've been looking at on Ebay, but they have the deep dish on the rim for the 11" wheels. The 9.5's even look wider, but that may be my imagination.

I'm not talking about the deep lug recess. I'm talking about the lip. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm wanting a painted silver set with the offset for the later C4's.

As far as I know the only wheel with the narrow lip is an OEM A-Mold.Ive got a set of GS A-Molds I might sell if somebody wanted them.
