hey i founnd what i thin is a great eal-
brand new Z06 rims with tires. theya re oem in the silver finish and i can get them for $1100. (including tires)
my question is what mods need to be done to fit them in the rear of the car and how do u like them. ride quality and performance.
btw- i have a 4th gen rear end.

 

My friend has the 18X9 1/2's all the way around on his 94 Z. I think he may have just added some shims on the rear and he didn't do anything to make them fit on the front. Since you have a thirdgen you may have to use shims in the front.

 

you'll need spacers for the front for sure

 

You NEED spacers in the front, and don't need them in the back now that you have a 4th Gen rear

www.skulte.com has what you are looking for.....

 

what company makes them? true oem z06 wheels are lighter weight then aftermarket imitations and very expensive. often times then not your getting a knockoff wheel based off the z06 style in a cast design which is heavy. the tires you will get will also be of a lower grade because they tend to sell so many. if you were to go to a major tire chain you may spend a little more but you'll get a nicer rim and better tires.

performance wise they are heavy. they look good but you'll notice the difference. i personally like a similar combo in that pick 17's or 18's the different sizes really throw off the cars looks.

depending on the offset you will need adapters. don't be affraid as they take quite a beating if you get the right ones. i purchased mine through skulte like above. i paid about 3 times to much but i was also experimenting with a size no one had done yet.

i like the looks of the rims, i wouldn't recommend them because of the fact you have to use adapters and it looks a little odd. however if it doesn't bother you to use adapters then i would definately recommend them. however i would go with a narrow rim as the wider wheels do not fit on the thirdgen without extensive moding.

all in all anything can be done if you truly want it to and they are a nice looking wheel on the car.

good luck.

 

if you look on the backside of the rim, and you see GM cast into it, it is a genuine GM wheel.... if you dont see it, its a copy

 

that isn't always true... also doesn't mean much as some of those internet companies are taking damaged or defective oem rims and reparing them. my oem concept rims have the mark and they weren't original.

do a search on the internet and you'll find out why it isn't always good to go with such deals. you might get lucky but it's a toss of the dice.
