Prostars to ZR1
Well ever since i bought the car i had drag type wheel on it, just getting tired of it and dont have the cash for another set of wheels. So, i'm going to ditch the Prostars and get a set of ZR1 with 11's in rear. How much et loss am i expected to get? Dont mind a tenth or 2 just want to really enjoy it more. Going to add a cam here soon so i should make up for it and some.

More than a 10th, probably more than two 10ths. I know I lost more than two tenths of ET just putting skinnies on my car, not even counting with the rear drag wheels. Why not just change it up and go with a new drag wheel if you're concerned with ET. I've never been a fan of ZR1s, any drag setup would look way better IMO.

I have stock chrome zr1s and I can't stand them some cars look ok but I hate mine,if your drag set up is nice ill give ya mine and 500…, there will never be a gay zr1 on my ride again.,honest change your rim but stick with the drag set up that's what I'm goin with,the zrs are ok with a 11 inch rear but still gay ,if your gonna change to a 17 or something get tt2, or something like that

I just bought some Zr1s. THey are my autox rims and look sick powdercoated.
Im wheel limited due to +38mm offset needs and didnt want to spend 1500+ on track rims for my DD

not exactly answering the OP question but:
my best on zr1's running 315 nitto DR . 12.2@116 1.8 60' launching @ 5500rpm
my best on 16" TA wheel running a MT ET street radial was 11.9 @117 1.7 60' launching @ 6k. i think i could've launched it even higher on the slicks but i hit my first 11 sec e.t. and said good enough....i need to makes sure i can drive it home.

Personally i like the prostars but my car is a street car. It goes to the track maybe 2 times a month. Other time im driving it around town beating up on new 5.0's!!! I love the way the ZR1's look alot better. And with only that small of a loss in ET im very happy. With that said i might eventally get a spare set of wheels but screw changing them everytime i want to go to the track
