For those that have the 36mm offset ZR1 wheels could you please do me a big favor, I need to see how much room if any there is between the stoptech brake caliper and the back of the spoke on these wheels by using this fitmitment guide from Stoptech?
http://www.stoptech.com/wheelfitchart/PDF/camaro.pdf I contacted AFS and they basically told me they wouldn't check. Said they built them to clear the stock calipers, duh no kidding. I even sent the exact link above to tell me if they would fit and said they would not be able to tell for me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I would really appreciate it very much if someone could do this for me!!! I'd even send a few bucks your way for doing this as well (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It appears that only the 17x11's in black are (and have been) available for some time, according to AFS's eBay auctions.
I purchased mine through eBay. If you can wait a few months, I'd do so - I got two sets of 17x9.5's and 17x11's for a combined price of $900, shipped. A little high compared to some (looks at Jon) but as good as I could get. Of course, the 11's are forming a table right now, as I don't have the money for tires or the time to roll the fender (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Dan |

Has AFS ever had an auction for 4 17x9.5 in a 38mm offset or all most of them the 9.5 and 11 combo.

I don't think I've come across that, but I was always looking for the 11 set. Thing is, they sell them as matched sets for the vehicle (84-87 Corvette, in this case), so I don't think you'd find the 38 9.5's as a set of four. Sorry (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Dan I'll let mine go for new A3S03's to fit on the 11's... |

Yeah I noticed that and I have emailed them about that as well to see if I could get a price quote on a set of these. Whats the biggest difference between the OE and AFS wheel? Weight? More durable over the other? |

For the longest time (last year anyway), that was all they had for a set pf 17x9.5". I e-mailed them and asked if I can swapped them with a set with 56mm, they wouldn't do it. Finally I snagged a set of 56 mm for $480 with $75 s/h. |
