There is an incredible amount of aftermarket made ZR1 style wheels for the c4 corvette. however the zr1 wheel has a couple distinguishing features that make it uniquely zr1, most importantly the recessed centercap in the rear 17x11 inch wheel is far deeper than the front 9.5w wheels. example:
correct zr1 wheels: notice the deep recessed center cap
fakers:
Although there are lots of replica ZR1 wheels that are in fact 11 inches wide, the lack of the recessed center cap detracts from their originality and the style of the wheel. previously, early c4 owners who shared the offset with the later zr1 could infact use actual zr1 wheels, hoever the laer c4 cars with their 50mm offset could never have that luxury.
however hot rod hanks has them, with the correct styling and offset for all c4 vettes, for a fair price!

now if only someone would reproduce the 11 inch wide salad shooter my life would be complete. sorry if this seems petty but i love the look of the ZR1 wheels on the c4 and its always been a mission to find some that fit and looked right.
