Default New Wheels

I thought these were chrome but when I got there they are polished. I needed spacers in the back to clear on the inside. I am also going to get longer lug nuts. Got it all together and went to back it out and I heard rubbing so I pulled back in. I found out it was rubbing on the B&B mufflers. I just left it until tomorrow. Also it is about 0 degrees here. I backed it out of the garage and took it about 5 blocks to my heated city building and by the time I got there it was leaking oil which looks like out of rear trans seat but I did not get under there to look yet. There was not a drop on my garage floor, I guess I should not have driven it at all in such cold weather. I did get a pic with the new wheels.

Are they 18 front 19 rear? If you use a wheel adapter you dont have to do new studs.

I'm biased but it's as if those wheels were made for the ZR-1, IMO. Classic.
I used open back lugs for mine. Unfortunately, the plastic caps for the lugs are not quite long enough for the wheel locks. I'd like to replace them w metal caps if I could find them.

I'm quite sure I pointed out the stainless caps a very long time ago for you. Your wheel nuts are M24-2 external OR what?

I think I am going to try that. The only problem is the smallest I have found is 1 inch but I am going to try it.
Yes they are 18 and 19.

I sent my adapters to Carter at CT Machining he turned them down to the exact size I needed/wanted.

My A molds are aftermarket but they do have the correct offset. They look brand new. I am going to just keep them for now.
