between the 2 I'd go with Zr1's, but have you thought about chrome C5 Zo6 rims? or even C6 Zo6 rims? those would look bad ***. Of course if you go with the Zr1's are you thinking 17 x 11 for the rear.

tt2 would be nice but the fact that theyre polished kills it for me. i like z06 rims on z28 but i think that the the y2k vette rims(i think thats what theyre called) look good. but i guess its all about personal preference.

Well I Got A Quote From The Painter And He's Charging Me 1500 For Tru Metallic Blue!! That Is Friggin Cheap So Im Gonna Drop Off My Car In A Few Days And I Think I'm Goin With The Tt2 Because I Love The Lip They Have. Besides I Know That I'm Going To Be Wahsing Her About Twice A Week So I Think I Can Handle The Polish!

Polishing wheels is not too bad. I found it's easiest to put on a nitrile glove and apply/rub the polish by hand and wipe it off with a rag. You can get into the small spots easier and feel what you are polishing.
