295's fit a 10.5, but 305's fit better.

Everthing looks good when it's chromed. But I wonder about the quality? They are great looking wheels though.

If you go with a 305 would you need to tub or would they stick out?

I bought my polished aluminum ZR-1 wheels for my C4 from OE and am very happy with the quality and service I received. I would not hesitate to purchase another set of wheels from them. I also like the fact that they are the manufacturer.

What tires are you going with? If I was going to buy these, I'd definitely go with grey painted centers with a polished lip, either stock Z06 tire sizes or slightly wider.

I'm thinking those in black would look awesome on my LT1 T/A project I'm working on.....not so sure about my vette (unless they did them in machined face like my ZO6 wheels with the black powdercoating) though.
In his Ebay store, a quick searcy for: "17 Black fits Corvette ZR1 C4 C5 ZO6 Camaro wheels rims" shows black centers with polished lip.

Maybe they offer different sizes? I'm waitiing for grey centers with polished lip.

There have been a couple other threads about these wheels. They are "C5 Zo6" widths so depending on the size of tires you have on wagon wheels or stock 5-spoke wheels your tires would be stretched a bit.

That is about the only thing stopping me from getting these wheels. I don't want to have to get new tires. My tires are less than a year old. I do like these a lot though.

The only thing missing from the stock 5-spokes was a lip...here you go.

I replaced them with the same size as the GY Runflats that came on the car..... Do you think that will work? I'm with you i can't replace my tires as well but I will do the wheels for sure.
