I need to get rid of my ZR1s, or paint them black. Getting tired of them.

Thanks guys for all the compliments. I was too busy enjoying it and driving it today that I didn't get around to taking any pictures. I promise I'll wash it tomorrow and take some better pictures.

Added: BTW the fronts are 17x9.5" and the rears are 18x10.5". The front tires are 275/40/17's sumotumo's and 305/35/18 Nitto 555R DR's for the street and I'll throw the ZR1's back on with the 315/35/17 mickey's for the track.

B town, Perfect, and Millertime Thank you very much for the compliments. I actually got a really good deal on these and the total cost including shipping 2-4 days wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. Actually wasn't really bad at all. I am really impressed with the fit and finish of these wheels. No problems getting them on the car or to fit, the offset is perfect and they look freaking amazing! This may sound stupid as a camaro will never be a vette, but in some of the shots the rear lip and big tire really tricks the eye(at least mine) into thinking that your looking at a vette until you look up and actually see that a camaro is clearly staring you dead in the face.

Got a question for you guys, and honest opinions are welcome. The factory headlights are killing me on this car. They look awful in my opinion. I also want to smoke the taillights, not completely black them out but smoke them. What do you guys think of these headlights but with a black housing? Are there any other companies out there that make a decent headlight that doesn't look like it came off a high school kids civic? I like HID's and love the look, but if the functionality of the HID isn't on par with an OEM one and it looks goddy I just find them unappealing.

Added: I realize the headllights I have pictured are stockers, just with the housings painted.
