I'd get some confirmation with snapshots of the face and the wheel back-side(that should reflect wheel size/offset) before doing a buy. I don't doubt there's maybe product out there but there's certainly reason for confirmation of what you'll receive first.

I will see if I can get a pic but I specifically asked about the offsets and deep lug vs the deep lip and he said he could get 5 he correct ones. House of Wheels told me the same so guess someone is making them.

OR everyone doesn't understand. Deep lug doesn't mean "THE DEEP POCKET" that the OE was constructed with. That confusion has caught more than a few opening boxes with the wrong stuff.

Deep lug only means that the original wheel studs can be used for the wheel to be bolted to the car, if they weren't "deep lug" then the install would require longer wheel studs because of the material used to create the offset.

I agree with WVZR-1 ... many people say they have deep pocket, but they really don't.


Now, Steve's image does appear show a deep lug construction ...

So the one I posted above, is that the correct one we need?

It looks like it's deep pocket. I sent them an email message about it. Depending upon their response, I may follow up and ask them to measure the "pocket" -- it should be about 2.75" from the plane of the spokes to the face of center cap.

Thanks for tracking this down ... we'll see

Keith at docz-1stratecorvette@hotmail.com was kind enough to send some images. I attached one here.

While the pocket is a little deeper, I don't think it's the depth of the original. (compare this image to my pic at the beginning of the thread)

Is that the 17x11?

It's supposed to be.


I replied and asked him to measure the depth of the pocket.

As you can see on my wheel, the pocket is about 2.75" deep
