Where can I.....

[tpivette]

get a set of ZR1 wheels ?

Would prefer the 5 spoke design, do you know anyone who has a set for sale ?

For a ZR1 or for a C4?? they are different offsets

[ZR1cliff]

Ive got a brand new set of ZR-1 5 spokes fitted with tyres that i might be persuaded to part with if the price is right.
Ive fitted tyres to protect the rims,the fronts are nearly new michellin pilot sports and the rears are worn to the limit.

Actually for a third gen firebird, maybe for an 87 L98 C4 if they cant be made to fit the F Body.
It is the 9.5 front / 11 inch rears I am after, obviously spacers required.

I'll warn you now, ZR1 rims on a narrow bodied C4 look really stupid -



I would suggest the Grand sport style wheel as that would have a more appropiate offset. They are also easier to get hold off from AFS, or any of the vette parts catalogues

BTW 450 for a set of ZR1 rims is way way off

The 5-spoke style ZR-1 wheels are available for the standard C4, I got a set of chrome ones (the chrome fell off so they were rubbish) from the US.
When the chrome fell off I had them shot blasted and then powdercoated black.

£450 way way off or just way off?

Im sure the CCCUK site has a set of the older ZR1 style wheels at £350 and grand sport at 249 in its classified ads forum.

you refer to these here -



something odd about those wheels. You can clearly see that they are not ZR1 wheels as the off set on the rear is not deep enough. Compare how they sit on that car compared to the one above that I previously posted.

You can get A molds for less than the original GM wheels. I got mine ages ago from a friend in the states at a good price $1600. I think Cliff paid a similar price. The older directional wheels are even more sought after, particularly the 90's as the rears soemtimes crack. Bare in mind the rear tires are N/A in the UK anymore. Rear Goodyear F1's are $279 ea. at tirerack. The last set of pilots I bought in the UK were £350 ea.

If I was you I would try and get 17 x 12's that enables you to go for 335 Viper/lambo tires that are readily available and at better prices and with a wider range of choice

I would want atleast £800 for my new set of A-Moulds if i was to part with them[without tyres].
