New Shew's (kinda)
picture wise, the Z06 wheels look better just because the car is super clean, way better angle on the shot and looks like a possilbly better camera was used. Im sure with those items being the same, the ZR1 wheels would look just as good, especially now that you have a real grill but those red calipers need to go man, nothing else is red on the car except the outside edging of the SS emblems...thats not enough IMO. go with the silver/black thing since your car is pretty much all blacked-out and kill those silver center caps for sure, get black ones or at least sand those and paint um up too becuase they look tacky on the black car....again IMO. If you get black center caps, get black lug nuts too, they made a huge difference on how my ZR1 wheels looked on my white fbody, so much more nice to the eyes. You have a clean (when not dirty) SS, go with what you want, but I think a few adjustments need to be made and then the type of wheels you have on there wont even matter cuz the car will look good no matter what 
edit: is that a white fbody in the reflection of your car in the first pic? near the front fender/wheel well?

As for the red calipers, when this car is repainted in the near future it WILL have a red manta. The Cap's will be black soon with red SS's possibly, and a red pinstripe on the lip of the rim next week.
I appreciate your accurate assessment of the situation. The white f-body in question is my room mate's 01 Z:

I guess I'm in the minority, I like the ZR1's better.
I can't stand C5 Z's, especially the motorsports. I think they look ugly and cheap, and don't compliment the look of the Camaro AT ALL.
I DO think though that you really need to clean the car up for better pics, and they might look better if you painted the centercap too. As it is now it sticks out too much and looks a little out of place.
Also, I'd have left the lip of the wheel chrome or polished or whatever it was before you had them coated. It gives some seperation between the wheel and tire, and looks better IMO.
Just my .02.

I think you're fine... I hate those Z06 rims to begin with due to the rolled lip and rivets.
One thing you should do though is have the round center part painted black to match (and maybe a black outlined wit red SS decal on it). For most people that odd silver part is probably throwing off the whole look subconsciously...
