Recreating the 1989 Prototype Wheels?
I've always loved the wheels on the original ZR-1 prototypes. Maybe because they were the first ones I saw, but the covers over the lugs just always looked more right to me then the open ones on the 90.
So, I was wondering if anyone had managed to recreate the rears? I'm guessing the fronts would just be standard 89 wheels, right? I can imagine three ways of doing it. One, spending a huge amount of money for a custom made wheel. Two, have a regular 89 wheel split and widened. Third, machining a lip onto a 1990 wheel to fit the 89 cover. Yes, that would mean desecrating a rare 1990 wheel, but it's just a thought. Has anyone undertaken a project like this? Are any, or all, of my assumptions incorrect? Am I actually brilliant?
