Default I want your opinion on wheels for my black Camaro

I have sold my prostars and want a nice looking rim that will look good on my black Camaro. I am torn between ZR1s and Z06. The size is going to be 17x9.5 regardless, but I don't know which would look the best; silver, black, or gunmetal. What do you guys think?

No, weight is not an issue. I think the black Z06s with the polished lip and rivets would look

i like the zo6 rims, i chose gunmetal, i think rims should ahve at least a little metallic shine to them, and gunmetal is much closer to your car color than silver.

I vote Gunmetal Z06, all comes down to your personal preference though. You should have someone photoshop the different rims on your car for you.

I voted black z06's but i think gunmetal might look a little better on a black car. Either way it's gonna look good.

I don't like the polished, I am leaning towards the silver and the gunmetal, but more towards the silver.

That would look nice as hell. But for some insight. When I had my chrome z06 on my ta. They weighted in at 54lbs a piece

And that is with m/t et on the back (26x10) And reg 275x40 on the front

Yeah, I am gonna lower it. It is stock height now, just with the isolators removed in back. That pic was before I removed them. I have decided on the silver Z06s as I think the black and gunmetal would be too much dark color for the car.

I'm not really worried about the weight like I said. I am not out to be super fast. I want something nice looking and easily maintainable. I know I can get a 275/40/17 MT drag radial to hook

If you want i'll let you mount my 18in all black Z06's if you want to see what it looks like before you make your decision.
