I've wondered the same thing... I think they look like stockers personally and wouldn't want such a similar, yet uglier rim... I have a firebird just to clear things up.. I know the camaro stockers can vary a bit from the Zr's

IMO, I wouldn't waste $$ replacing stock wheels for other stock wheels.... (Zr1's or Z06's) save the $$$ for something different... just my .02cents

alot of guys have them for a few reasons, they look decent on both Birds and Camaros with the right color combo, and the fact that they are very affordable and offer the 11" to run 315's out back without major modification as well as offer the correct offset and backspacing...JMO....and Yes I have ZR1s on my Z...

A good-looking wheel is a good-looking wheel, stock or not. I think some of the stock wheels (ZR1s, ZO6s, 10-spokes, etc.) look the best on F-Bodies, although I had some nice 17" Enkei wheels on my old LT1 Z28. I destroyed those, though. Crap.

everyone has their own personal preference about what looks good on their cars. I personally like my ZR1s. They look a hell of a lot better than the snowflakes that came on the car.

To be totally honest I think black z06 wheels with freakin rivets in them are some of the ugliest rims ever and cant understand why anyone would put those on their car. But I dont make rude comments about it b/c its not my car and like I said earlier everyone has their own personal opinion about what looks good.

Why do people buy Z06 replicas with rivets?

ZR1s are inexpensive and clean looking. I wouldn't mind a set of 17x9.5/17x11 ZR1s. Played out, but still clean.
