Ordered my wheels!!!
I ordered my black ZR-1 style wheels or my black 88 coupe from OE Wheels. I ordered all 4 - 17" x 9.5". Will this size fit my 88 stock. I plan on dropping an inch also. I was going to get 11 inch wide in the rear but I have new rubber on the factorys and can't really afford new rubber. Also has anyone ordered from this company before? Good/Bad? Thanks!

I've a set also I'm pleased with. Several years now.
You should be good and there was a rather interesting thread recently where someone asked when he was considering a buy - I would have thought a prospective buyer would have come across it. I don't know if OE still offers both styles of rim lip flanges but they did at one time. You had the choice of an actual "replica" or the wider lip finished flange some like.

Maybe next time I'm back home in New Hope, we can grab breakfast at the Hardee's
For the price, of course they are china made.

I'd like a cast performance wheel that is track proven and doesn't break the bank. Miata drivers have the lots of choices like the excellent light weight 6UL wheel from 949 racing. Do C4's have an option like this?
Not all wheels are created equal and I wouldn't want to put something on the car that is inferior or weighs more. The good manufacturers really document the specs of the wheel.
