I'm waiting as well- Bob from House of Wheels said late this year expect to see them...

I love that design and I think it would look great on a C5!

Those are possibly the only wheel I'll drop these SSRs for. Will wait to see them in person on a C5 though, but they are a beautiful wheel.

I saw the Cyber Grey ZR-1 at the Philly car show this year and have to agree that the wheels are something I'd like to see on my C5, But just think what the 19/20" Michelin PS2s specifically made for this wheelset and this wheelset only will cost!! Let alone what that tires profile will fair on New Jersey's less than good roads.


I'll prolly just buy low mileage "take offs" from a CFer's '09 ZR-1 next year. [Insert Grin Smiley Here]

the OEM ZR1 sizes will stick out just as the OEM Z06 does.

you will have to put on flared fenders if you want OEM ZR1 wheels.

i am personally going to wait until the aftermarket comes out with ZR1 wheels in OEM C6 Z06 sizes so i can stick with my current 18/19 tire setup.

Is it just me or do these wheels look like a combination of c6z06 and c5z06 rims?? If you look closely you can see the c6z06 design in there and then offset by the 10spoke design of the c5z06? Could be that I am tired at work and just need to go to bed also.

the zr1 wheels look just like my z06 wheels with an extra 10 spokes tacked on...which is a big reason i like them.

As much as I DO like them very much, The look isn't brand new. I think they look just like an OZ wheel we've all seen before, maybe on the C5R. I'm sure someone in here will step up with the model number.
