USW black ZR-1 replica monoblock wheels. (for everyone asking about my wheels)




In the past 3 weeks, I've had at least 2 people per week ask me for more info on my wheels. I'm posting this here for anyone who's interested.

Brand: USW Forged wheels
Size: 22x9.5 front, 22x11 rear
Type: Forged Monoblock construction
Tires: Pirelli Pzero Nero 275/30/22 front, 315/25/22 rear

There is no name for this wheel as of now. They are a newly available design.

I carry USW wheels. They don't need a name, Al and the guys will know what they are if you should happen to need some. I'd like to see them in a brushed finish on a car!

Looks sharp!!

They almost look like 24s in the pictures, because the tires are right at the fender edge and it appears that you still have a good amount of clearance under your car.

Are you riding on coilovers or just springs?

Thanks for the comments guys.

Car is dropped .75 inches on Pedders coilovers and there's plenty of clearance. We were shooting for a burshed face with the windows/lip black but there was very little time before SEMA so both sets were just powdercoated black and cleared.

USW will be debuting at least one new set of wheels at the Fest. Keep your eyes peeled for a design of my own creation.

It would look awesome in a darker grey like midnight silver finish, I think.
