Default opinions on zr1's on a red Z.

I recently bought some silver zr1's with bowtie center caps and am not sure what do to, the poll with the local car guys is split 50/50 also, and i am fine with either of these options, but am leaning towards a black powder coating. These rims will be on a red z.


1. Nothing, leave them silver.

2. Black powdercoat the whole rim

3. Black powdercoat with polished/silver lip.

4. Black powdercoat with silver centercap.

feel free to post any pics with black zr1's, any style. thanks in advance.

#2- DEFINITELY! It looks so much meaner without the whitewall-like polished lip! Good luck with your decision!

well i think i'm gonna do the black powdercoat with just the horizontal part of the lip left silver, so it'll be a pretty thin piece of silver left (saw pics of jackz28's red on black zr1....nice) as i think when the vertical part of the lip is left silver it makes the rims look smaller. Thanks for the input guys.
