Default ZR-1 Wheels

How long will it be until we can find some after market repros of these wheels? I think they look great on the C6 ZR-1.

Good lord! All that trouble to photoshop those wheels in, and you didn't flip them to put the calipers in the right place?!?

I believe I saw an add for just these wheels this month by Factory reproductions. I'll have a look in the website. NOTE; I can't imagine what we're going to pay for 19"/20" tire sets!


I stand corrected, All I could find "New" was 2008 C6 style.

I dunno if anyone saw the black BBS RC's on the red Z06 that was in Sport Compact Car's competition... but those wheels looked AMAZING.

Friends of mine got a set that look VERY close to the new ZR-1's. They're CRAY MANTA's. They opted for the chrome and WOW!!!
I'd like to get a set for mine!!
