Re: 90 ZR-1 rims

The rear ZR-1 wheels are the only thing unique, but as you might imagine its hard to match used sets of wheels. Atleast when I was into Corvette's, the 90 ZR-1 rims sets aren't as cheap like the 5 spoke wheels, production of 5 spoke repro's has to be over 1/4 million by know. 90's ZR-1 wheel is the 3049 ZR-1's plus maybe 100 or so over the counter ones. The same thing has happened with 91-93 saw blades.

My good friend with a 90 ZR-1 has 2 sets of 90's ZR-1 wheels (and a set of 5 spokes as well). His originals are mint except someone curbed one side on the lip (2 rims). He bought a 2nd set that are mint. I am not sure if he want to sell either set, but I can ask him.

You had ZR1s and got rid of them for stockers right?

They are the same ones Hardman runs. I've seen them sell on ebay from time to time for $600-$800.

Re: 90 ZR-1 rims

I put my stock sawblades from my 90 ZR-1 on my Syclone for a while and I thought they looked pretty damn good. They looked even better on the 69. The wheels only look bad on syty's if you dont do it correct and put 9's instead of 11's in the rear like a ZR-1 would have. Still thats not cool raggin on someones idea to put his choice of wheel on his car.

Funny thing is, when I first saw your truck at a meet in Columbus back in '01 maybe '02, I fell in love with these wheels! The are very similiar to stock, but those 11" rears look totally badass! Now I just gotta get my set re-finished that I got from Hardman.

Re: 90 ZR-1 rims

The 17X11's look sweet IMO,but I don't want the 5 star ZR-1's that every other truck has.

That only leaves 2 styles of other ZR-1 rims.

The sawblades just look too "Corvette",and these one year only style ones look good on Sy/Ty's.

But anyways,I just sent off a couple of my stockers to be refinished.Gonna get them all done up and brand new looking.Shoud look ok with the new paint.Now I got work on my interior............
