How would they look?
I am going to look at a set of Z06 speedline rims and tires to put on my 92 Z. You would see a lot more of the disc and caliper through these wheels. I do not plan on upgrading to bigger calipers. Would these look good with the stock setup showing behind them?
Here is a picture of the wheels Last edited by Bolling; 02-18-2015 at 08:00 AM. |

Re: How would they look?
I did my brake upgrade in stages, so the stock rear calipers were on for a couple of years.
Here's how the rear calipers stack up w the 19" wheels

I bought the wheels but they had USA on them not italy. The offsets were right.

OK. They're aftermarket. As long as you're happy with them.

My experience FWIW . The wheels made in Italy are lighter.

Re: How would they look?
If they are the correct offset for your ZR, then they're not Z06 OE wheels.

Re: How would they look?
I meant they were the correct offset for Z06 wheels. I did find out when I got there they are polished not chrome. He had a picture of chrome but they are not. I have found out they are indeed GM OEM wheels. They are the earliest ones and have the same part number as the later Speedline ones.
