Good choice, I'm very happy with my wheels. Love the look and the price is good too. I went with the flat black instead of gloss black. Figured I'd do it different. Love both looks but prefer the flat black more.

Just left factory reproductions warehouse with a set of 20x10/11 gloss black replicas in 275/315 toyo proxes. Will have them installed later tonight or tomorrow when I get home. Anyone know if the speedo needs recalibrated or if I need to zip tie the brake cable on an rs?

Not sure if it needs a speedo recalibration. FWIW, I had 18in steelies on the car when I swapped over. But I put the tires/wheels side by side and honestly the ZL1 wheels were about a half in taller. So not much change in the height of the overall combined wheel + tire height. Now, when I had my Vette wheels on my car. The tires on them were extra low profile. But they were 17's up front and then 18's in the rear. The height difference was 1.5in in the rear and close to 1.75 in the front.

Compare your stock wheel/tire height with the new ZL1 wheels set. I'm betting you won't have a huge height difference. Should be o.k. in terms of speedo readings.

Thank you I actually just found a calculator online that have me the exact speedo difference it's within a tenth of a mph so I won't have to recalibrate now if I can find out about the parking brakewire I'll be in great shape!

Those are going to look great! Make sure to post up some pictures once you get them on the car

I'll have to look on mine. I didn't notice any issues with the rear brake cable but now that you've mentioned it. I'll have to look and see if I have clearance issues. Obviously I haven't at this point, the parking brake works. For sure, I'll check out mine.

I'm not an expert on this so I could easily be wrong but I think since you went with a 20x9 you should have plenty of clearance my rear is a 20x11 which seems to be a little less standard. I'll be home in about 5 hours to find out for sure!

Thanks! I'm really hoping I have time to get them installed tonight but the car has been sitting a few days so I might have to give her a bath before the pics come out
