I think this would be the 8th set of wheels for the car..
I think it's an addiction of some sort.

But anyways, I searched for some pics but only found one of a Formula with Z06 wheels and it wasn't a great angle.
Anyone happen to come across some pics of a Formula with z06's that they can post?

looks good man.

I love Zo6 Wheels (i have a set of chrome ones on my 4th gen Z28)

They give a nice clean Factory look and are a good wheel for the price to.

Great pic for wheels lets only hope you keep these wheels This time around lol

Thanks,
I'll be keeping these for awhile since they are really decent looking wheels.
They are 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear.

2" Spacers in the front and an LS1 rear in the back.

Ebay sells these wheels in chrome, black, and silver in 17" and 18" sets.

ZEPH -

What are you doing with the old ones?

ZR-1's were they? Selling them?

Do you know if they'd fit an '87 Vette?

They look great but the dirty exhaust tips really take away from the whole thing. Try to get them to shine.

The ZR1's hold my race tires and they aren't going anywhere.
The other wheels I have for sale are the 97-00 Vette "Wagon Wheels", and I don't think these will fit on an 87 without a spacer,

Yesterday I was in the process of trading the 18" Z06's for my brothers 17" Z06's, but I couldn't get the back wheels to fit.
He has 315/35/17 on a 9.5" wheel so it bulges out a lot and rubbed the front lower fenderwell near the LCA bracket. Even put my 5/16" slip on spacers and it wasn't enough.
My BFH was at a friends house so I couldn't bang it in last night.
Main reason to trade was tire cost, 18's cost so much more than 17's.

I'd be interested in seeing the comparison between the 17s and 18s. I like em though, very nice. I think I like em in silver better than any of the chrome ones I've seen.

You can see the difference since it is that noticable.
When I take the Z06's off in the next few days (rear tires are really bald) I'll roll it next to the 17's and take a few pics.

You are out of control Zepher. For once I think the Z06s look good on thirdgen, well in this case.
