I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

gunmetal ZR1's the newer style would look pretty slick...

I think I have it narrowed down.

If I can get these in an 18" all the way around, I'm game. No rivets is a must and a 10.5 rear.

I bought my 18" z06 wheels purely because they were a good deal at the time and i was sitting on salad shooters. Now i love them, and dont plan on changing them anytime soon. Word of caution about them though, as aftermarkets they are heavy sum*****es in comparison to the 17s you are used to. But they will look great!

Yeah I was thinking of that. Race stars have been on my mind too. Although the few track runs ill make its probably not worth the coin.

After doing a bit of research, a lot of guys are running 18x10.5 in the front, it seems like finding tires are the issue.

I never thought it would be so difficult trying to buy some wheels! I'm all over the place with them and can't settle on some.

I still like these the best so far. I didn't think I would get a vette wheel again but the price is hard to pass up.

Put all the wheels in a hat and just do a luck of the draw and stick with it.

Lol no way I could do that. I'd be second guessing myself.

I could also pick up kammi10s 10 spokes, get them widened, powdercoated matte black, then get the lip machined.

I think your car needs an 18

What's it take to run longer wheel studs, like for a 1/2" spacer?

Get the studs take your brakes off hit the old studs with a hammer put the new ones in and tighten

Yup, BFH out the old studs, put the new studs in, a bunch of washes, put a lug nut on it and suck that ***** in with a impact gun.

Widened 10 spokes FTW.

This isn't the proper way to do it. You can actually stretch the stud and compromise its strength.

[Fox Slaughter]

It takes like 2 seconds to suck that stud in, thats like saying every time you put your wheels on and hit it with the gun you stretch the stud.

I'm sure the correct way is to put it on a press and press them in.

Here just get this.

Oh look at that, that just screws onto the stud and sucks it in, same principal hmmmm.

Will I need to pull the axle out? I don't have tcs, so I'm worried about getting the longer stud behind the axle plate. How long will I need? Wheel will have a 1/2 spacer.
