any body have more pics of chrome zr1s on their car, Im trying to justify buying chrome over polished. If I can see that it looks that much better than I will spend the extra money for it.

Justification for chrome over polished?... the polished are a severe PITA to keep looking good (cleaning & repolishing). With the Chrome ones, you just wipe them down and get on with your day

I think the chrome ones are badass if you are going for the bling factor. I like the polished ones if you want a wider rear rim that looks close to stock.

hey project camaro.. i have a painting question for you.. how did you paint those wheels? i have factory SS wheels and there is a pretty thick clear coat on them.. i want to paint mine just like yours.. what did you do in order to prep them? did you have to strip the factory clear off or did you just sand then paint and re-clear? any help you can give would be awesome

still a fan of chrome. it looks good on all cars, the only draw back is that it seems like everyone has them.

I got Black Rims on my RED 3rd Gen, and I am going that route next year on my WS6. Red on Black has a street look you just can't get from chrome.

I Voted Black!
