I have ZR1 reproduction wheels on my car that were manufactured by Factory Reproductions. Have had them on the car since June 2019 with zero issues. But, mine are base car sizes so if you want to be sure on the cracking/bending problem, maybe best to get forged wheels.
I'm on this forum a lot and have read posts where the ZR1 wheels still bend and/or crack. As mentioned, just buy a set of aftermarket monoblock forged. There are some good vendors right on the forum that can help you with that. Oh just remembered that you had a Grand Sport. Wheel Designers is a forum vendor and they have forged monoblock wheels that are exact replicas of the stock Grand Sport wheels. They may have a little more aggressive offset. Love the GS wheel look. That's what I'd get.
FWIW, I replaced my GS OEM wheels after cracks were found in both right front and rear wheels. As a big fan of 5 point wheel design, I fell in love with a set of OEM rotary forged ZR1 wheels in carbon flash and have not cracked a wheel yet. And yes, I have hit some nasty potholes and survived. Of course, the next wheel balancing will be the true test for "out of round", but so far, so good and only $2,000 for the set of four.
We offer the the GS01, ZE11, ZR01 for the C7 Stingray, Grandpsort and Z06 in Forged aluminum made by WD Forged in the US.
Here is a link of the options, as always call for pricing. https://wheeldesigners.com/collectio...ETTE+C6+%2F+C7
Thank you

Your ZE11s are close to factory, but I can't figure out where I'm going to put my stripe on the circumference of the wheel. If I could figure out how to make that look correct, I might be a buyer. I've got a rear with two cracks, but no leaks.

Yes they offer pinstripe at the edge of the wheel as well it would be extra since they are using powder coat and not paint. But you could do the stripe yourself at the end of the edge
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
