Factory Reproduction Wheels
Almost a year ago I bought a set of Factory Reproduction black A-mold type wheels for the ZR-1. I finally got around to getting them mounted and balanced. Here are a couple I shot real quick for those that wanted to take a look. I was warned about the Sumitomo tires being a little smaller than other 315/35's. I have to agree and probably won't buy them again but the price was good.

Re: Factory Reproduction Wheels
Dude, for $400ish compared to $1300ish, they look pretty good.
Your wheels look great on the car. Black powdercoating for the engine perhaps. =D> |

Re: Factory Reproduction Wheels
Rears would look great with some GS-D3's mounted...IMO.

Re: Factory Reproduction Wheels
 I love the replication of the deep area around the lugs....they really look sweet against the red!

Re: Factory Reproduction Wheels
Thanks for the positive comments all. I'm pretty happy with them, even the Summitomo tires (at least for the price). The car had been sitting for six months or more with maybe a quick drive to the gas station at some point in there.
I finally got around to replacing the radiator, all the brake rotors & pads, and these wheels. When I fired it up after replacing the radiator I kept hearing a knock or a rattle coming from under the car somewhere. I got it up on jack stands and traced it back to the heat shield on the passenger side cat. Looks like a tack weld had broken or something but the heat shield was loose. So then I dug out the Corsa cat-back I've had sitting in the box for more a few years and took it to my local exhaust shop. When he cut the original exhaust from the passenger side cat, a couple nice big chunks of catalytic converter came out too. We checked the driver side, which was intact but really black. So I've got a couple new cats on order and should get them installed Thursday. Maybe I'll actually pass that CA emissions test this time... -Nate |
