I have mixed feelings. . . I think it looks awesome now and would look really good lowered, but I also love the firehawk wheels. I am thinking about getting black ZR1's myself, but only because the chrome on my wheels is peeling. I am going to get a quote on getting rechromed, but if its too much ill just paint em silver and save them.

I like the firehawk wheels much better. Plus, rivets/screws on wheels make the car look cheap I think. IMO

X2 I would like to see a more exotic wheel on the car. ZO6 rims and Zr1's are played out. My friend has a silver Firehawk and he also removed them for Chrome Z06's. Its not that they look bad but there are better options out there. It just comes down to $$$$$$$$$ And i understand that. Car does look good tho regardless.

sorry but i think you moved backwards. Both wheels are extremely common, the new C5 ZO6's even more so, but atleast you remained a bit more classy with the Firehawk wheels. Sorry but the ZO6's actually take away from the car imo.

Yea, i guess extremely was the wrong word to use though it does hold up when referring to C5 ZO6's
