ROH ZR-6 Rims

I wanted to put ZR1 rims on my GTA, but i don't feel like dealing with spacers. I really like the look of the ROH ZR-6's, and i'm thinking of getting a set, but I'm wondering what the offset is so i can determine what width to get and if i'll need spacers.

Thanks

I just ordered a set from www.groupawheels.com and got them two days later. I absolutely love them. I have +5mm for the rears and -7mm for the fronts. They look totally bada$$ with the dunlop sp500's I have on them. They are Z rated tires and I went 245/55/17. They look so sweet!

Pat..did you get the 8.5" or the 9.5"? Any clearance issues or rubbing problems? Any chance you can post a pic? Thanks

I got the 8.5 and I went with 245/50/17's (Dunlop SP500) all the way around. There's no rubbing and that is even with my shocks in as bad shape as they are now. Honestly, this has been the best investment I've ever made for my thirdgen. This has been the first day I've taken the car to work since the new rims, and no lie, there was a small crowd of about 5 or 6 guys doing the walkaround checking it out this morning. I was so pumped!! I so badly wanna take pics, but I cannot find my digital camera anywhere, so as soon as I can find it, I will post it here. Trust me, for me it was $600 shipped to my door and I have never felt so good spending that much money. Also, if you wanna make it look mean, you gotta go with wicked tires, cause they're just "rims" if you go with the Pep Boys tires. Go and spend the extra money to get some Z-rated tires, you'll thank me.

OK, I jumped into this a little late, but hasn't anyone noticed that SLP now sells ZR1 rims with the 3rdgen backspacing?

...in case you didn't know.

...I think they only come in 8" widths though.

Pat..you must have gotten the last set of ZR6's autoworld had. I stopped at their east coast store today on the way home...they're out of stock, out of production, and unavailable. I even called Arizona, thinking maybe they had a set out there..nothing. You lucky dog! I still can't justify 1400 for the Ronal Firehawks...but I got a line on a set of SLP Firehawks for 1100...we'll see if they still have them. If anyone has any info on the ZR6..please post it!

Well, it was last week when I ordered them and he said he only had two sets left in the NY office. So, someone musta gobbled up that last one in between last Thursday and today. Do you know if they are going to pick anymore soon? If so, I'd jump on it if I were you guys. Lemme see if I can find my camera to take some pics.
