Default Got my ZR1 Cup wheels

Just dressed the tires for now... A full detail on the car and coating the paint and pulling the wheels and coating them as well will be coming in a few weeks hopefully


BIG thanks to Rich, Nick, and Tony at Abel for helping me get this done and quickly too!

Rolling on a set of '13 ZR1 Cup wheels. Forged, lightweight, OEM. 19/20
285 up front 335 out back. Michelin PS2 ZP tires. Wheels are silver with a machined/polished face. I'm a big fan of silver wheels, especially as so many people have black wheels. I looked for a while but couldn't find any other C6's with this combo, so I tried it and love it!

Awesome choice on the wheels and the finish, the machined face looks really good. The cup wheels are one of the best OEM designs I've seen so long as they're not chrome or polished.

This definitely doesn't surprise me given your proven results in the detailing community. That C5Z was lucky that it crossed your path, otherwise, who knows what would've become of her? At least, this is the same argument that I make every time my wife accuses me of dumping more money into my WS6 than it's worth!

Beautiful C6Z Jeff. I'm hunting for one myself. Still new to the LS7 though. Probably need to do a bit more research. Have a client that is a sales manager at a local Chevy dealer and I've asked him to hunt one down for me. Any suggestions as to what options/combo's to look at? I suppose the most important question to ask you is, how does she drive?

The LS7 has a valve guide issue...they tend to drop valves so most guys do heads right away. The 06-07 seem to be the more frequent offenders, but I've seen 2k mile '12s do it too.

I'd definitely go 2LZ, you're gonna love the heads up display, and you nav, heated seats, and more airbags. If you want the uber cool leather doors and dash, get a 3LZ but they are a few grand more. She drives great. Runs strong. I have LTs, Off road X, Lingenfelter CAI, and custom cam waiting to be installed. Just need to get heads and then install everything at once. Hopefully about 100rwhp gain.

Very nice! I've always said that these were the best looking wheels that were factory installed on the C6 Vettes.
