Read the title of the thread.


I wouldn't go with chrome or silver. They both look bad on orange. I'd go with gunmetal zr-1's. They don't sell them like that, but you can just buy the silvers and get them powdercoated.

You cannot go wrong with chrome on orange. It looks awesome!!! I wouldn't go with silver. It just doesnt look right. Black is also very nice on Hugger, it has that rare look.

Here are some crappy pics of mine.

Do the Z06 wheels have the correct offset for Camaros or will a spacer be needed?

You don't need a spacer, but I'd get em. They don't stick out far enough for me IMO...but then again, I have 36mm 17x11 zr-1's for mine sticking out like a mexican lowrider.

That I dont know. Mine are from AFS Wheels, but I got them locally brand spankin new for $700. Stock Z06 wheels are 17" in front, and 18" in rear. I would buy all 17" or all 18" online like DTD or other places. The sticky at the top of this section shows the offsets that will fit.
