Default New wheels for the 'maro - 315 ZR1 pics
I finally got rid of the ugly C5 wagon wheels and picked up some ZR1s. They are 17x9.5 with 275/40/17s in the front and 17x11 with 315/35/17s in the back. Nothing special, but it gave the car a much cleaner look.

Here's how the car looked before:



Here are a few shots with the ZR1s:

Never seen that color before on a LT1 but it sure looks good with those wheels!

Thumbs up ZR1 Wheels
Looks great, excellent choice

The ZR1's definately give our cars a clean, classy look

Thanks for the kind words fellas.

The Sumitomos are pretty much what you'd expect for $107 for a 315. They are a nice looking tire, but if you're looking for good dry traction, look elsewhere. This car might see 150 miles/month, so I wasn't too worried about it.
