zr-1 wheels

[68protouring454]

can you run these wheels safely, at high speed? i am pretty sure you need vette brakes spacers to run them, was wondering what you guys thought, i am looking at the 17x11 and 17x9.5 for my car, just cause of the price, and the red witch looks pretty badass, but i do like a few budniks
they are
17x11 with 7-7/8 bs 237 bucks with shipping ea
17x9.5 with 7-5/16 bs is what they come with, 212 with shipping ea.

Well I dont know what you mean by "High speeds",are they real GM ZR-1 wheels?? If so you should be able to run them as fast as a ZR-1 would go. If they are replicas well take your chances on high speeds like The Silver State. I would want a wheel made for that purpose..........

sorry, to run these on a first gen you need to run vette brakes spacers on the rear, or widen the rear end due to the bs they have, the fronts also need spacers, i am concearned about the spacers, my car will be a street car but hope to go to a few track days a year

I would like to know as well. I really like the idea of putting a Vette wheel on my camaro (i'm thinking Z06) but i dont like the idea of having a spacer.

On any street car spacers are fine as long as they are hubcentric and billet and not thick.I would think that not over 1" thick would be ok,I would add stronger studs/lugs to.

Well, don't confuse spacers with adapters either. You can run a larger backspacing using adapters on a street car and be fine. Here is a company that'll make whatever size you need....safely, of course.
