I am kind of a traditionalist but I say go with some chrome, polished, gunmetal, or black ZR1's with the size that you want.

What about the privat profil wheels? Do you like them? I love mine on my silver ss. You can get them for $800 shipped to your door from Todd@prodyno and they are not chrome. You said you wanted to stay away from chrome, so you can get them in silver or black with a polished lip. You can get either 17x9.5 or 18x9.5 but I think the 18's would look better. The offset is 49mm. I know alot of people say everyone is getting these but hey thats what you get when a wheel looks that good for the price! I also think they would look awesome on your color! Just my opinion.

What do they look like? And they don't come in 17 x 11 huh? Reason I want the rim wide is to fit 315 in the back.

Not sure on the weight, but they are close to the stock ZR1s if not heavier!
