Called a guy a few weeks back about buying some 90s.....already sold:cry:

Then he e-mailed me and said that he had another set in the basement, but they were off a European ZR-1.:cheers:

cool find!

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

you have center caps for them?

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Waiting to find out if the guy can find them(center caps)

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

WTF
Lee,you should change your name to Mr. Horseshoe LOL

Nice find.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

do want!

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Are there dates still on them? Proably 88-89 dates. Look like mine.

I'd be interested in them, maybe.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

They are in transit......have not seen them...part numbers were ground off for some reason...wheels are straight.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

You need to get that horseshoe plated...lol

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

What makes those different from the 90?

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

They are made for large center caps like normal 89 wheels.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

If you look at the center section, that is different. The center cap hides the lug nuts on an '88-89 wheel.

They were also supposedly heavier than the 90 wheels.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Ended up paying $500 for these, no center cap....not sure on value.....any thoughts they are used with alittle rash on one wheel....all true and usable.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Thoughts? You stole them, told some egregious lie to the previous owner...

If I had a 90' these would be great "stealth" wheels with the appropriate center caps.

Cool stuff! Can you publish your "black book" of mysterious ZR-1 artifact curators? The rest of us want these deals too.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

I think it has to do with the proper placement of a horseshoe :-D

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

My wife seems to think I don't need another set of rims, that the basement is too full......

2 Gen I dymags
4 AM Deep Dish Amolds
4 92 Stockers
4 Dymag Gen IIs
4 89ZR-1 wheels(Coming soon)

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Production dates on 17X11 wheels are 10-3-88 and 12-13-88, someone did remove the part numbers, wheel size, etc with a grinder for some reason.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Guys that have Typhoon's love them....

I do too! Class wheels

:cheers:

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Prob GM as they were a prototype. I remember the cross XXXing of early LT5 motor blocks as well . Also Lee I want a copy of that book. Why does it always appear you are able to single out the single golden nugget out of a bucket full of cacca filled by corn eaters? Go to Vegas....

Great find. Tell your wife you can never have enough wheels.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Lee just tell her your happy with the rims and dont have a urge to put rubber on all of them so you can rotate them on the cars.....

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Guy I bought them from worked for GM, now retired. His role at GM was to take other makes of vehicles, dissassemble them, note engineering adavancement and report back to powers that be.....they would then sell the parts to recoupe expense.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

:-Dthat was a great find! glad there are still some of these rims still out there!

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Mine are used your wheels look new.

Re: Any know what these wheels are?
 

Trust me pictures make them look 100% but they need to be refinished. Just not sure I want to refinish them yet. Still finding out their history.
