Unfortunately that site does not ship to Canada. Also only way to not get raped for shipping and duties is to go local, which the OE creations wheels are available here. I think I've found a place for ZR1 17x9.5s, I've decided to forgo the 11" wide wheels due to issues with the base fenders.

Thanks!

Those C4 wheels were called A-molds and not restricted to the ZR1 either. Meaning, don't overpay due to name badge.
Keep in mind that the best wheel/tire for drag racing has a tall sidewall and a long footprint, not a wide one.


9.5x17 A-mold with 275/40/R17's. !.48-1.52 60' times with just bolt-ons and a 2.56 gear in an '08 base.

On a regular and consistent basis I have better 60ft times than big tire cars with full slicks.

This was from a couple weeks ago.


wow thats really impressive. Just want to ask you what rear gear are you using?

Back then I was running a Z06 differential with 3.42 gears but have subsequently switched back to stock 2.56 gears as I got tired of spinning in the later rounds of eliminations.
