I like the black ones the only way you want that new look is with the real deal bbs other wise it makes the high class z06 look a little cheaper with the replicas.

just like i feel about my rims, my old ones looked better in my opinon, but my 17x10.5 zr1 with 315 look better out back (wide *** tire) and brake better, acceleration is better too

Honestly though I had some Falken (450) tires on my 20 inch rims and they gripped better

I wish they made 18" Zr1s that where wide w/ a big lip, or ruff racing that were real wide

Old rims, but if you lowered the car with those cray's they wouldn't look so small.
