It's pretty common to use ZR1 wheels as track wheels, I'm actually thinking about picking us a set myself, but I don't think the style is good for normal use. If you like the look go for it. I'm sure you can find several pictures of it to help make up your mind.

If memory serves me well, the ZR1 offset will make the wheels stick out a little bit, but the GS offset works fine. You might want to do a little research on that.

It wouldn't be wrong, but I think you are going to need a special offset to keep them from sticking out. I had some on my '99 SS, the rears were the GS offset. We put them on my friend's '00 Coupe and they stuck out too far in the rear with 315 wide tires on there.

Hi,

I think you're referring to the White Shark. Those are actually Fikse custom wheels:
