Replica A-Molds
 
Are there any replica A-Molds that are designed for the offset of the ZR1? Most of the replica wheels I see are for camaro's and the regular C4's.

In the past there were maybe 2 vendors that did the proper offset for the rears but recently maybe NOT. They're difficult to find. The front of the ZR-1 is the same as the conventional C4 so the 9 1/2" is no problem. The 50mm 11" rears can be used with the addition of a pass-through spacer and longer wheel studs. It's not a difficult change. There are 11" 50mm wheels with the deeper pocket at the lug mount but most that are on the market now have the standard shallow pocket like the 9 1/2" wheels.

Contact AFS. They do have A-mold repros that have the correct 56mm front and 36mm rear offsets for the ZR-1. However, the rear does NOT have the deeper lug well of the OEM A-molds.

I have a set of the polished AFS wheels that do not have the deep lug well and they look ok but I would like to find some that do.

These wheels are pretty cheap, but I want the deep lug wheels so they look correct on the ZR1.

The early AFS deep lugs come up once in a while but they have not made the correct 36MM offset for a long time now. Everything out there aftermarket tends to be 50MM GS offset and made in China

I just bought brand new tires for my Saw Blades. I would transfer the tires over.

Are Grand Sport wheels the same as the ZR1 offsets? My wife thinks the Blacked out spokes would look better on my white car.

No they are not 36mm they are 50mm. So wrong offset


I also mentioned that in post #7
