Default I just can't decide! ZR1's or Z06's???

I'm having such a hard time deciding on wheels. Thanks to Todd @ DTD, I have my prices, I just don't know which set.

Chrome Z06s - 17x9.5
Chrome ZR1s - 17x9.5 front, dished lip 17x11 rear.

I cannot decide! I like the dished lip look, but I also like the Z06's because they aren't as common. I just do not know what to do. It'd help a lot if I could see some pics of the wheels on a black Z, but I can't find any.

Please help!!!

If those are the final choices you have it narrowed down to, my vote would be:

Z06

If you want 17's I say go with the ZR1's with the 11's in the rear. If you go ZO6's you gotta go 18's with 10.5's out back.

I vote ZR1. I could care less how common they are or not. They are still my favorite wheel for a 4th gen Camaro.

They're both common, but that's obviously not an issue. I say go with black ZR1s with a polished lip, but that's just my .02 cents.

Well, I think i'll be going with the Z06's. A buddy of mine has the ZR1's on his 89 IROC. The dished lipped 11's too. Well, he just picked up a 99 Z with the same set of wheels So i'm gonna get the Z06's so I stick out from his 2 cars.

If you do go ZO6. I recommend 18's.

If not.. 17x11 ZR1's work great for me

Just like everybody else said. If you are going to stick to 17's, get ZR1's.

If 18's, go ZO6's, Im biased=) (18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rear)

Looks great. I think they are 17"s, they look smaller. I like them better than usual on a 4th gen. I'm really not into 18"s on F-bodies I guess....

Well, I retract this statment. I over looked the BFG's. I'm really interested in the 18x9.5/18x10.5 combo.

What's the deal with all the offsets for the rear... 50, 60, etc...? I hear 50mm is hard to come by. Why is that?
