Default ZR-1 Wheels

well its time to decide on what wheels to get and i have to make up my mind b4 i waste my money on somehtin i dont need...

i have searched everywhere to find good pics of what im lookin into and i have found a few but its hard for me to decide since my car is a RED 35th Anniversary ed.(im not a real big fan of the stripes but they are ok)

anyhow.... i know i will be gettin some type of ZR-1 wheel with a 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear.

now i must choose:

-Chrome= (looks good on red but doesnt seem to have a deep dish and doesnt give the car that "Fast" look)

-Black= (looks pretty good from what i have seen, somethin just doesnt feel right when i picture my car with these wheels)

-Silver= (somethin tells me these would look good cuz they would match my stripes and not make my car jump out at you, but i dont know...)

-GunMetal= (i'm a big fan of GunMetal finishes on red cars but i still havent seen a red SS with these wheels, so again, i dont know...)


just lookin for that clean, aggresssive look that is appealing to the eye but if you see it comin down the road you wouldnt just see it and think "well the car looks great but the wheels mess up the whole picture)

sorry guys.... im just tryin to get exactly what i want and it would be much easier if i had a TA or a diff color SS

Or get ZR1s powdercoated to red and silver center caps.... I dont believe Ive ever seen that done before, and Im pretty sure it would look nice.

Guess my vote:



Best: 11.14 @ 122 (1.51) on the 17's

Doesn't need to "look" fast if it is
