An "all-original DRM car" is tough to quantify. To what specifications were they built? Who knows... There was an engine and from there, suspension options and brakes, wheels, etc.
Not to discount what went into those modified Corvettes, but it was strictly, a'la carte.
Lots of
in this thread though. What else to consider? If I was looking for lightweight wheels, I would look at other sizes, as I am not really impressed with the choices for 315s these days. Even less with the availability of those

Even less with the availability of those As far as what does constitute a Callaway or DRM package, there were specific comprehensive engine and suspension packages offered by these tuners, and it's no mystery as to what the specifications were. Beyond that, there were a number of add-on items available, such as interior trim, wheels, etc.
Back to what is an "original" tuner car - I consider a new car equipped with a complete engine/suspension package by Callaway, DRM, Mallett, etc. to be an "original" tuner car.
Concerning these wheels, I don't believe the Gen 2 Dymags were part of any tuner's "package."

I'm quite sure the later Vipers '96+ are 6(6 X 114.3mm) stud? The early I surely don't know but if they were 5 stud I would have guessed a 4.5" BC like the rest of the CMC fleet. Hell maybe they're all 6 stud! If that's the case they're surely a "no fit"!

I believe that the measurement is taken from the inside of the inner lip of the rim on both sides. Mine are 12" outside the lips and 11" measuring from the inner.
Very nice, I am refinishing my set this weekend if the weather is nice, I noticed the casting is alittle rough, as it should be, on some parts.

You definately have 17X11 on fronts and 17X13s on the back, Dymag made this combo but very few. The Avatar I have is off a 94 that was is Corvette Fever that ran 11 & 13 combo. So yours are legit.

No, you are not measuring the width correctly, the measurement has to come from the inside of the bead lip, which you can only measure if the tire is off, the 12" rim you are measuring is an 11" rim if measured from the inside of the bead lip.
The offset, if my math is correct, seems to be the correct 36mm for a ZR1. Divide the wheel width by 2, add in the offset, and then add about 1/4 inch. This puts you just shy of 8 inches of backspace which is what you show
Hope I this helped.

Marty, you are right, what do I know about Dymags... 
Considering I have bought (and sold, or brokered the sale) of many sets, I clearly know nothing... The last set of lightweight Dymags in a ZR1 width) You know, the Challenge ones, not the ones pic'd above, I sold for $4,000 with tires. Granted, used tires don't really factor much and make it hard to sell if you have to ship, but it was local, so it did not matter...
Now, for the "Gen II" Dy's, every time I hear of a set selling, they are a "steal" and the owner is glad to have paid a song.
Last Gen II wheel I put my hands on, was a NEW wheel (single) and the asking price was $250.00 for it. Someone on this very board, bought it and then looked to sell their complete set for a bit more
If you want a money making venture, go for it. If you have the time Be forewarned, they do not draw the coin of the Challenge Dymags. Callaway Dymags are in a whole different category and the last set of those I know sold, sold for more than ANY other set I have ever seen listed. The guy wanted them.
Again, what do I know...

While I know they may not be Callaway wheels, they certainly are worth more than $250 a piece. I was at Bloomington Gold and did not see another car with GEN IIs. I have also been offered more than 2X that amount per wheel for my GEN IIs.
I also picked up 9 Dymags including one 17X11 Gen I and 4 17X9.5s for less than $300.
Good luck with sale, I love my wheels.
