Default black zr1s or chrome z06s

it's time for me to get rid of one set of wheels... just don't care to have them sitting around and after i got a bunch of **** stolen from me i don't wnat **** laying around the house that can be jacked so i'm just getting rid of everything i don't use daily.

only "cost" difference will be extended studs for the ZR1s since the rear wheels are deep lug not deep dish. both are 17" wheels.





i'm gonna leave the poll open a couple of days and then put one of them up for sale.

I like the ZR-1s with the smaller polished lip, so sell your ZR-1s

You'd probably get more money for the Chrome Z06 wheels...So sell me the ZR1's for less!! How much are you looking to get for either set once you decide to sell them?

Is the poll for the set to keep or sale? I voted z06's, but I meant keep the z06's. I read the thread but, I may just be "out of it" today.

Sell both sets of wheels and buy the best of both worlds. Chrome ZR1s with MT 315s on the rear...yes, theyre off backorder and available again (as of 4 days ago when I bought mine).

Not a bad idea.

all 17x9? i'd get rid of black ZR1's and rear Z06 to get wider rear Z06 with DR's. so i guess what i'm saying is, keep the Z06's.

I'm usually a big fan of black ZR1's, and also they do look A LOT better with the smaller chrome lip. But since your car doesn't have a lot of other things blacked out like a berger panel, vht tailights, etc. I would definately say keep the Z06's because they do look a lot better on your car, unless of course you are going to black more things out on your car in the future.

I like the ZR1's but not in black or chrome. So my vote is the Z06.

okay so i've been looking around a lot and I have never seen a red camaro with GOLD ZR1s.

I think that would be the ****. It would be original as **** (or just not as played out as the other wheels I have) and if I sold the Z06's for 650-700 I wouldn't come much out of pocket to put all new tires on the ZR1s after powder coating them gold. I think the red/gold look is pretty neat, and damn near half the red cars on here have chrome Z06 wheels, the other half seem to have black ZR1s and I HATE having a car that looks like everyone else's.

My car will stay EXACTLY how it is right now, I am happy with everything just the way it is (except I need to get a dent pulled out and respray the front bumper) so I won't be blacking anything out or tinting tail lights or anything.


I think gold wheels would be simple, yet really set the car apart from everyone elses.

I have zero need for drag radials as I use this car as a daily driver, it see's little to (usually) no street racing or track racing, and it hooks pretty well as it sits. A little spirited driving once in awhile maybe, but a 315 radial would be more than sufficient since my 275/40 Nitto non-DR's work pretty well.
