I think you should go with the regular c5 z06 rims..they look better then the ZR1's IMO...

C6 Z06's? If not, stick with the ZR1's.

I'm so sick of C5 Z06's. They don't look that good to begin with, yet just about everyone and his brother has them.

Not that the ZR1's aren't common, but at least they were available on the car originally, and they're a classic style that has aged well.

IMO c6 z06 wheels dont look that good on f-bodys. Id stick with your zr1's, they look sweet. maybe you can just powder coat them black/chrome lip if you want a different look that will still look sick.

I had some chrome ZR1s and traded them for some draglites. Then I traded the draglites for some Z06s. I really miss my ZR1s, everone likes the Z06s but me. I'm not far from you if you wanted to do some swapping. My car is also NBM so you could look first hand at what they would look like on yours. Shoot me a PM if your interested.

ZR1's look better on camaros especially if you lower it and there are so so many cars with ZO6's

I'm starting to hate them with a passion. They are not all that. Rivets, no rivets, black, chrome, I don't like any of them. Just one man's opinion though. I'd rock the ZR1s 100x more than Z06s.

If you're sticking with 17's, I'd keep the ZR1's you have on there on and just powdercoat them black and leave the lip chrome or something.

TT 2's! how wide are your back wheels? if you like the rims you have on there now, and are trying to save some money, just buy 2 11" wide rear wheels. It will make your car look completly different.
