ZR-1 Rims on Ebay for Cheap

[JimS]

I was looking on Ebay today and found ZR-1 rims for cheap. So I ordered a set of 4 Silver 17x9.5 for $490.00. They also have polished and chrome if you are interested. You can call them at 866.273.3651

JimS,

So is that the size on our stock 95 LT-1's (your's is not a ZR-1 is it?)? I was thinking of picking up a set of made for 94-96 2000's this spring but the ZR-1's aren't too bad. Who so cheap? Are they new? Do you know the diff between the GM's and the aftermarket's?

Have you got a web link, either on Ebay or the company's website?

I'm not positive, but I think the stock rims are 17x9.5. I bought the ZR-1's with the 56mm offset, which I know is correct.

When I talked to the guy there, he told me there was someone else on ebay giving a better deal then him, so he lowered his prices. He said they wouldn't stay low for that long. He was only making about $15 a wheel.

The company is called "O. E. WHEEL DISTRIBUTORS, LLC." and is based in FL. I called and asked, but they do not have a web site. They said the only thing they do is on Ebay. I posted the number I called to place my order that they advertised on Ebay with the auction. Here is a link to an auction they had. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2400854446&category=6782

These are only on the front of a ZR-1 the rears are 17X11

They should have pictures of the rims on the auction if they want them to sell. I don't care if its $2.00 for a working LT5 engine, I won't buy it without a picture

Are you talking about "A" mold 5-spoke wheels?
"ZR-1" wheels sounds ambigous to me. They cam with "fan"
wheels in 91-94. Another design for 1990.

Wegone - Thanks for the info. I think the 95' coupes came with 17x9.5 wheels all the way around. The ZR-1's had larger rear wheels because the body of a ZR-1 is a few inces wider then a coupe.

They did have pictures in their auctions. They have three styes of wheels they sell (silver, polished, chrome). The silver is what I liked, they just happened to be the cheapest. I was not interested in the 17x11's because I didn't want the tires hanging out on the rears. I didn't even ask if they sell them.

BTW. These wheels are all brand new.

Yep. The "A" mold 5-spoke wheels. Sorry, I know they came on the ZR-1's. I just always refered to them as ZR-1 wheels.

If you get the GS offset, the tires will only stick out maybe 1/4 inch. If that bothers you, just slap some fender flares on the car. It looks bad azz with the 315s on the back.
