Corvette Wheels??

I found some wheels on ebay I am not sure why they are so cheap but the company has good feedback and they are about 30 min south of where I live...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-9-...4490QQtcZphoto It looks like a really good deal??? Can anyone help me with what kind of spacers I would need on this rim?? Or would it look gay and stick out from the wheel wells to far?

paarman97maro will become famous soon enough

Id have to see a chop on your car to decide. Theyre probably replicas, which is why theyre so cheap, but they do look good.

yes, you can get any of the vette wheels nowadays on ebay from 400-600 bucks to your door in many different colors/finishes.

That's who I bought my ZR1's from. If you like getting feedback then don't buy from them. They don't leave feedback or respond to emails.

was it worth it for the zr-1's? the reason they are cheap is because they sell huge bulks of them and they are replicas

As per spacers, the 3rd gen'rs would know best, but I believe its something ridiculous like a 2 inch spacer, which to me is unsafe.

I always wanted to put spacers on the rears, but I read about how much stress it puts on the studs.

I don't think you would need spacers on a wheel that is 9.5" wide. and it all depends on what the offset is.

My buddy had a set of them and they fit the rear but not the front if I remember right (ZR-1) they also have a set of ZR-1 I really like.. Those might be in my plans in the near future. Thanks for the input!
