Go to the wheel and tires section and look around in there and see what you like.

Silver ZR1s, played out yes, but they always look clean and great. Most after market wheels look dated and old with time, good looking factory wheels just match and fit the car for ever.

$600 will score you a set of Speedline C5 Z06 wheels in great shape, sometimes on rare occasions a set of the magnesium C5 wheels. As already stated, can't go wrong with ZR1's either, it is what I am contemplating for my next wheel selection.

Silver ZR-1's. They're only "played out" on the internet. I can drive around for weeks without seeing another set of ZR-1 style wheels. :2cents:

Polished ZR-1's, I bought the 17x9.5's but I should have just gone a head and done the 17x9.5's up front and the 17x11 in the rear. OE wheels are Cheap and look great for under $500. You can also buy a set from them with tires mounted, ballanced, center caps and matching lugs. Thats what I did and I only spent about 750 out the door but I picked them up.

These are the 17x9.5's I live about and hour north of OEwheels and went down and picked them up. BIG PLACE!!! LOTS OF WHEELS!!!

I'm hoping to put the black C6 Z06 wheels with the red lip on my black '94 Z. It will probably cost a few bucks more than $600 though...

I agree. I went with the black and i also have some custom center caps to make mine stand apart from the rest. I know my wheels are from a Vette but they just look right. It would help if the OP posted a pic of his car.

yeah i was at the trans am nationals last year and i'm pretty sure i was the only black LT1 T/A there with black ZR1's. so while you might see a lot of fbodies online with them its rare you'll see another car identical to yours somewhere with them.
