which look alike wheels
Can anyone point me twards a company that supplies 17 x 9 chrome wheels that match the stock 16" 5 spoke chromes on the Z28. The ZR1 style seem close but have a different centre. I just want to change the rear two for a bit more grip and a bit more tyre choice, so want the style to match the front.
I am in Camarillo CA and need some within a couple of days before I leave back to the UK. Any one ship to the UK?

I'm not aware of a company that makes replica stockers in a 17" size.
Also, the best traction mod you can do IMO is not larger wheels but rather a different tire... like a drag radial. A drag radial on a stock wheel will stick WAY better than a 315 tire on my 11" wide rear wheels.
I also suggest you just get 4 chrome AFS wheels in the 17x9.5" size... unless the only reason is for traction then spend your money on tires. I think you'll be much happier with the looks of a 17" wheel all the way around than your stock 16s or 16s in the front and 17s in the rear.
