Depends on the car IMO. Trans Ams would look good with the new style. The C6 might bee too much on a plain jane Z28 or a 3rd gen.

exactly!! there are some rims that just look better on T/A and there are some that look better on camaros. i think the new ZR1 rims would look better on a T/A than a camaro.

New zr1 are way too busy! No lip either !!
Over kill design for the camaro or t/a !!
They belong on the vette only!!
The old zr1 wheel design is ok but there are a # of better suited wheels out there on the market for our t/a or camaros !!

It just depends on the car I think all C6 rims look ok but don't look good on Fbodys at all!

I'll take the new ones as long as someone else washes them for me.

If you're planning on that new wheel on a Gen 3 or 4 F Body, you BETTER sink some major cash in upgrading the brakes....a tiny rotor would look utterly stupid behind a HUGE wheel like those.

I like the older ones. I'm more of a plain 5-spoke wheel kind of guy.

I love the original ZR1s, but the 09 style is, imho, one of the best looking wheels GM has ever produced.
