Default Where to buy 84-87 offset zr1 wheels?

Seems like most vendors no longer carry these, if anyone knows who currently stocks them?

Heres the link... Click on "Reproduction Corvette Wheels Page 1"

They were $429.00 to my door and though made in China... they balanced out well and were very nice.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having this problem. A year ago the 17x11 rims were available everywhere and now, nada. This is the first place I've seen that still lists them. I'll have to give them a call. Thanks for the link.

Every so often they show up in the C4 Parts For Sale section. Sometimes in pairs, sometimes as a complete set. Just make sure that the offsets are correct for the early C4's (38mm). That way you won't need to use adapters. If you want to use 11" wheels in the rear, you need 17x11 wheels with a 36mm offset. The 315/35-17 tire size may be hard to find. Many early C4 owners will use a 17x9.5" wheel and a 275/40-17 tire on all four corners. Makes it easy to do tire rotation.

Thanks, did you get the black ones? They are the only ones that make reference to the early offset. I was looking for chrome, polished or silver.

Rear offset for early C4 is 36mm not 38mm... You wrote both, so I assume a typo...
On the 315 35 17 tires, they are readily available.... Nitto, Michelin, Good Year & Sumitomo all have that size... I just got the GY delivered to my house yesterday.
Screw tire rotation! Its not cool like this......

I didn’t know these wheels were getting hard to find. I was hoping to get a set myself at some point. Thanks for the link 81c3.
