White ZR1's or Chrome 10 spokes on my Red SS
Recently had an my pass. side chrome Zr1's destroyed and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do....Pretty sure that I am going with the Chrome 10 spoke C6's....But I recently had a set of 30th edition all white 17 inch White Zr1's pop into my hands. Backs are 11's too!!!
I figure the Chromes will look good but I dont see many with the white ones....and Since my SS is read...the white wheels and layin down some white stripes may look sick....what do you guys think? Here is some pics I found...kinda found em so owners dont get pissed haha.

So you have both sets in 17'' and aren't sure which to use? i would go with the chrome rims. unfortunately the white zr1's have 11'' rears, but the chrome will look much better. (get them widened) if i'm not mistaken, the 'TEN spoke c6's' would be called c6 z06's, not?

If you're putting white stripes on the car, I'm actually going to say go with white 01-02 SS 10 Spoke Wheels. If you're not putting White stripes or anything, then I'd do regular chrome wheels.

The options are the c6 ten spokes chrome only 9.5 all four corners.....OR...white 17x9.5 17x11.5's. The white ones come with some 315's on the back that have the middle wore down a little bit and probably wont last more than a couple months into spring....they come with not front tires....however....I can powdercoat them any color I want....Probably red all the way into the dish and the spokes will be shinny black. Plus this is local and there will be no shipping.
The ten spoke C6's (star shape) are chrome and look amazing. Only downside is that they are only 9.5 all the way around and several hundred miles away so its guna cost me my heads, cam, springs, rods, gaskets and 109.00 shipping plus whatver my parts cost to ship to him... Good news is They come with lightly used MT ET's on the back and good shape tires on the front.
So....do I save a couple hundred bucks....have a wider back tire....and an original color of white ZR1....save money on all the shipping of parts...buy cheap front tires...get them powedercoated how i want them this spring......and keep the rods and springs to sell.
OR.....do I fork up the shipping and all my parts to get the sweet *** chrome c6's with good tires that will last me a while? What do I do?

I wouldn't put them on there while white haha. I would either get the chrome wheels or get the white zr1's and have them powercoated black before you put them on. I personally like chrome wheels but it your car. My step dad has white ZR1's on this 30th LE but those are also the original wheels and the color of them along with the car being white so they look good on there.
