Thoughts on these rims?

[xlr8nflorida]

Was thinking of throwing them on yellow Z.....

IMHO, I think they will look awesome. I kind of favor the black wheels on certain colors and on yellow will be sweeeeeet.

I ordered 2 chrome but am now wondering about these rims.

They are only about $500.

Thanks for your input.

I know what you mean. I have polished classic CCWs and decided I am going to PC the center pieces black (on a Red Z). I am still going to have some chrome with the bolts and polished lip with Carter's ZR-1 polished center caps. I did not care for the polished look on my Red. It took awhile for me to make the decision (a few years in my case). I PC'd my stock centers black and left polished lip and love it so decided to go black with the CCWs. At least the Yellow is so rare so you'll be a little unique either way you good. Great price and best wishes with your decision.

I forget what year yours is? I meant to mention that I went with black centers because of the 90 and the black molding really sets off well.

Personally I think the "dish" look on the 5-spoke looks odd. Maybe it's just because I know they are cheap chinese knock-offs?

I'd say do it right and either get GS wheels and spacers, or some Z wheels and refinish them black.

Fair enough that you don't like the design. At the same time, for the price:

Almost same weight as GM rims
Powder coated with guarantee
You can bolt them up and return them if you don't like them.
The rims are the correct offset for ZR-1

I must at your comment though as I have original GM chromed rims and several sets of rims for my car. I scratched one and it was difficult to get a replacement. I had to get a repro for a upcoming show and it was identical, have had the same rim now for 8 years.

The original GM rims I think say JPN or Japan so these are made in China and they are automatically a cheap POS?

For a 3rd or 4th set of rims, I think these rims are good bang for the buck.

Here is a "cheap repro" while my GM rim got fixed. You can't tell the difference and yes, the rim is in round and light.

do they have 36mm offset? if not you need spacers then too

You said POS, not me. I said they are:

cheap - check
chinese - check
knock-offs - check
