Default Zr1 wheels or Z06 wheels?

I am newbie just bought a 45K 2000 SS. My SS did not come with the Zr1 wheels from the previous years. I am debating whether to buy a Z06 wheels or the SS Zr1 wheels. My questions is What is the diameter of the Zr1's? I have been hearing people stating that they are 17x9 or 17x9.5. Which is true? I am assuming they are 17x9 like my 10 spokes, but I prefer the 9.5 for the wider look. As for the Z06, they are 18's and will their diameter and weight will compare 17's Zr1?

Go with the Zo6's. I had ZR1's and always wanted Zo6's....well until I got some Y2K's. Zo6's are an awesome rim and they look really badass on our cars.

OEM GM SS ZR1's are 17x9, Aftermarket ones are 17x9.5.
I've got both for my 3rd gen and my brother had the ZR1's and went to Z06's.

Looks good. I think the z05 because of the chrome look better then the zr1s. Makes the car look fast standing still.

18/9.5 front 18/10.5 in the rear ZO6's. I could kick my butt for not buying 10.5's for mine. You wouldn't believe how much better that inch of rim out back will make your car look. Just plan on a drop if you get 18's. Trust Me

I bought them from a member over at CamaroZ28.com.
I have them for sale with the Nitto 555RII tires if you are interested. Tires have about 50% left. These are very sticky and stiff tires, gives it a harsh ride but corners like it's on rails.
