These wheels on ebay any good?
These wheels on ebay any good?
I was wondering if these wheels would be good to buy or just cheap crap... and what would I need, 2" spacers with a 275/35?

ALL THOSE VETTE WHEELS LOOK LIKE CHEAP CRAP, ESPECIALLY ON A THIRDGEN.

Re: These wheels on ebay any good?
ZR1 wheels are still one of my favorite wheels for 3rd gens. I loved my old Grand Sport wheels and probably would have kept them... If I knew that they now make them in 18" GRRRRRRRRR. 
- Those are a smoking deal @ $399. I paid $500 for plain silver zr1's, about 5 years ago. Get Those!!!!!

The SLP zr1's for the third gens are only 17x8's. You can't get much tire on those without folding the sidewall in. Spacers are fine if you make sure to torque and use LOC-tite on the inner lugs.

Re: These wheels on ebay any good?
fits 93-02's so you need spacers on your thirdgen..... or get a 4th gen rear.
i have heard good things about the many 17inch wheels on EBAY but never anything about the 18inch wheels

Re: These wheels on ebay any good?
When I ran 4th gen wheels I used a 2.25 front, and 1.75 rear. Search for irocbirdbuilder, I sold him the whole package... they fit really nice with 275's all the way around.

jensen, get a v8, the only thing cheesy here is someone puting 373's in a 3.1, as for my "cheesy" 80's dodge, a replica of that is being built by my brother inlaw and myself. ive heard jensen loves a hot tailpipe up his rear!!!
