either keep yours or get your choice color of c6 or c6z wheels

the black 10 spokes look ok too if you're just itching for new wheels from your list

IMO i hate the zr1's i had a black ss and bought it with them and hated it everyday of my life even with 315's..sold the camaro and bought a trans am with boyd coddington smoothie 2's..look them up they are the best looking wheel you could ever find for our cars...

TTII's are not bad either tho..?

I'm with him on the zr1s...I will never get it... I wouldn't put them on a fbody if they were free.

Stock looking/ 90s dated design, no dish, and one of 3 most common wheels on fbodies = 3 big strikes IMO

But they are popular so to each his own, must be something about them I just don't get.

I just went with these 18x9.5 TSW's it was just under 1700 with nitto 275/35/18. the neat thing they weight about the same as the WS6 Speedlines
56 for the TSw with tires and 53.5 for the speedlines with bald tires. Im betting if they both had new tires I would have gained 0

Those chrome SS wheels look awesome and are about the only thing I like in 17x9s all the way around. With a drop and a hood, it'd look sinister.
