Post pics of wheels with a lip / deep dish ---

[alwayscode390]

I am going to get new wheels for my car, and really like the "a-molds" but realized the factory zr1 offset wheels don't have any "lip" , aren't "deep-dish".

I prefer that look , and have only seen people using the Fikse wheels with a lip.

Since we are wider in the rearend , shouldn't we have more options than the regular body c4's? I was surprised to see the "Camaro" offset aftermarket zr1 a-molds have a lip , but our offset aftermarket don't. Almost tempted me to get the Camaro offset wheels with a spacer HAHA. How dangerous are spacers?

Is there another popular option that people use on these cars?

Just curious to what people have on their cars.

Post up pics or links to pics ... thanks for the help ---

As for as the Z goes I am running a set of Gen II Dymags but they were original on the car and fill out the rear end nicely. The biggest goof I EVER pulled with wheels was selling my Fikse FM5's off of the GS they were perfect on that car. I ran an 18x10 up front and 18x12 out back and it was perfect (Offset, size, lip, look, etc was perfect). The only real issue was finding a 335/18 tire for the rim however I am having the same issue with the 335/17’s on the Z now. For your 90 the Gen I dymags would look great and not many of the around either.

Shelby Series One wheels have the look you like.

I have Z06 wheels (18/19) but Shelby's would be my alternate although they make Z06 brake fitment problematic.

Go to my album if you want to see the Series One wheels. They're not mounted yet (waiting on tires) but you can at least see the wheels.

Yeah, those Shelby wheels are nice.

Thanks for the suggestions ... I will check out the Dymags.

What gen z06 wheels are you running Xfire?

I forgot to mention I have the Lingenfelter Big Brake kit up front which BARELY clear the 17" A-molds that I have on the car right now:



The wheels look good in the pic , but they are polished and NOT clear coated. The last owner neglected them and they are all pitted up now. ---

I have the 1st Gen Z06 wheels. They appear made for the ZR and give it a very Ferrari type of look which I like quite a bit.

Here's a pic with polished Z06 brake caliper:

You are in the same spot I am in. The Gen I Dymags will not clear those brakes. I have AP Racing Brakes on the Z and Rippie's Wilwood set up on the 89. I don't think the shelby wheels will clear either. You can either refinsh the A Molds go Fikse, CCW, or Gen II Dymag for starters. Just make sure whoever you use that they know that brake set up is on the car. Most use a custom hat on the rotor that will push the wheel out some and this will cause wheels with an offset for a normal C4 (Z or not) to stick out.

BTW those look like aftermarket A-Molds if you run OEM you will have just a hair more room.
