Default WTB A Molds

Hi guys

Where is the best place to purchase a set of silver A Molds for my 91 ZR1 (I am OK with aftermarket rims), I currently have a set of Chrome A molds (aftermarket)rear off set is + 50 mm and they just dont look right. I know that rear offset should be + 36 mm,but what should the front off set be ??

Thanks Dennis.

If you like the "chrome" just add a 16 - 18mm hub-centric spacer to the rears with 10 new wheel studs. 14mm makes up the difference (50 -36), I did 16mm and I believe a couple fellows have done 18mm to push the wheel/tire just a bit more. The correct spacers aren't inexpensive but it's no problem and the install is very straight forward.

The front advertised offset for 9 1/2" wheels is 56mm.

No I acutually dont care for the look of the chrome wheels so thought about purchasing aftermarkets, with the right offsets such as the rims available at Hot Rod Hanks, or Factory reproductions which can be had for a little over $ 800 with shipping.

Nothing beats the OE A-molds they are lighter and the rears have the sunk center which is a ZR-1 specific wheel.

For a few hundred more I have a nice set of OE A-molds with tires.
$1200
Let me know.

Pete

FWIW repro's are heavier than factory. The factory A-mold's are very nice wheel's , easy to up keep and light.
