Default wheel selection for the z

well guys i have gunmetal zr1's with polished lip, they are 17 9.5 front and 17 11's in the back. just have regular street radials on them. well somebody offered to trade for nice chrome z06's 17.9.5's. 95% tread in the front with sumi's htrzII's and the rears are 50% Nitto's. i really dont know what to do, they dont make the gunmetal zr1's anymore, so thats why i like mine. I love zo6 wheels though btw they are c5 z06 wheels.

so what do you all think? my gunmetals are in my sig. also does anyone got pics of a lowered Z with chrome zo6 wheels?
