I think just like you. Why spend a grand on wheels when I can spend a grand on heads? But hey ZR1 replicas are dirt cheap on ebay.

Yeah I hate my salad shooters, if I wasn't so poor I would buy something else, but I plan on selling my LT1 before college and going LS1 so no point in buying them when LS1's come with decent rims. I think it's best just to leave them alone, or maybe throw a chrome or brighter silver on them, anything but body color or black would look good in my opinion.

If you don't want to save for new wheels and are going to paint them, then do all black or don't do it all.

I hate those wheels but some people dont have the money for new wheels so they do with what they got. They look awesome in black. I think I might paint my friends wheels.
