Default NEW ZR1 17x11 DD came today!! Help me make a decision

So i picked up (2) 17x11 deep dish ZR1's NEW for a price that i COULD NOT PASS UP. I planned on putting 335/35/17 Hoosiers on them and running them only when i race. I've always liked the zr1's, but i love the look of the deep dish zr1's and now i'm having thoughts of selling my Z06's and purchasing the front 17x9.5 and running these instead. IDK what will look better! Part of me thinks the Z06's will look better but the other part of me thinks the zr1's will look amazing!

C5 Z06 DD? LOL I dunno, try to find a SOM Camaro with ZR1s, that should help you decide. I think the Z06's look great, but would be interested to see the ZR1's on there.

I say ZR1's... especially with your "old classic, with a new look" sizing...
Can't go wrong with a "dish" on an F Body!

I prefer Black on Red, but i am Biased. SOM & Balck look good too.

They are both nice wheels. I can tell you that are z06 sales have slowed as compared to the Zr1 Deep Dish.

idunno its a tuff one....one side you get nice flashy wheels..other hand nice sporty looking wheels with fat tires and plus tires are way cheaper in 17"

tuff call but im sure if you sell the z06s you will have enough money for a pair of tires and the front wheels or most of it.

This is exactly what i'm thinking. I've had the Z06's on for about 2 1/2 years and i'm kind of wanting to switch it up a bit with a different look. Also like you said, tires for 17's are way cheaper! I could buy 4 tires for 17's for the price i paid for my 2 rear tires on the Z06's!

If i do sell the Z06's i'll have enough for the two front zr1's and tires for all 4 and have money left (depending if i get what i want for the Z06's/tires)
