The Z06s looked better. Maybe I'll change my mind when we see some pics of the new wheels cleaned up.

+1 for z06. those zr1s make it look like a v6 for some reason. maybe with chrome lip and dark tint it would look a lot better.

my vote is the Z0's also! the tires look huge on those ZR1's but it's also a small rim right?

You're supposed to show the before pic where the car's all shitty looking with garbage can's in the background, not after, lol. In the first pic, the car is black as black and the tires are black too. You at least need some better pics with better lighting.

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?
