I am going to look at a set of Z06 speedline rims and tires to put on my 92 Z. You would see a lot more of the disc and caliper through these wheels. I do not plan on upgrading to bigger calipers. Would these look good with the stock setup showing behind them?

Here is a picture of the wheels

I did my brake upgrade in stages, so the stock rear calipers were on for a couple of years.

Here's how the rear calipers stack up w the 19" wheels

I bought the wheels but they had USA on them not italy. The offsets were right.

OK. They're aftermarket. As long as you're happy with them. :cheers:

I don't think they are aftermarket. I did a lot of googling and GM did have some made in the USA before sending them to the speed line company in Italy.

My experience FWIW . The wheels made in Italy are lighter.

If they are the correct offset for your ZR, then they're not Z06 OE wheels.

I meant they were the correct offset for Z06 wheels. I did find out when I got there they are polished not chrome. He had a picture of chrome but they are not. I have found out they are indeed GM OEM wheels. They are the earliest ones and have the same part number as the later Speedline ones.

Good score. I like the polished look better than chrome. With stock brakes you should be able to use your spare.
