I think they look fine

If you were to change them and money were no problem, then some chrome Z06ers would look great. Otherwise, TT2s would be my next bet. Or you could just keep them, they look fine

Im biased because a guy in my car club has an identical 'camaro to yours except he has zo6's, but yeah i think the vette rims would look better.

Keep them....ZR-1 rims look so much better that Z06 rims IMO.....If you wanted to switch then I would go to some Boyd Coddington Timeless Series rims or something of the sort....

personally I say go with the z06 rims but make sure you lower the car to make it look right. You could probably sell the zr1s for almost the cost of the z06 wheels.

Which wheels are you talking about? The Budnik's? Todd sells them, I believe.

Remember one thing when buying wheels. Weight...lighter is better and can help you go faster, and chrome is about the heaviest thing out there.

Budnik's, Boyd's, Fikse, etc. are all going to save weight and look killer.
