Help me pick my wheels Its about time to get rid of my home painted black spoked ZR1s, they look like crap and the spraypaint is brittle.
Now, I used to be into the bling, shiny, polished wheels....but not so much anymore. I had a set of polished ZR1s (17x9.5 & 17x11) and I loved the way the 11" looked from the rear, so I want something wide in the back. I also would like something black, to match the car.
So far here are some pictures I've gathered that I like.
STERN ST5
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
they look badass....but are kinda narrow for my taste (8.5")
Black spoke ZR1s
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AFS-8...72303643QQrdZ1
I like them, but ZR1s are kinda played out.
Torque Thrust II's
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-17x...QQcmdZViewItem
LOVE the TTII's, I'd probably end up getting the spokes powdercoated black.
All black Z06 wheels

I like the all black look, and lots of room to show off the red calipers.
ADR M Classic
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-AD...QQcmdZViewItem
These look really good for something so shiny, but Im not sure they would 'fit' with my theme.
Im open for any other suggestions that somebody can think of that would look good on my car.

The ADR's are nice, but they're only 8.5....great thats only a 255 series wheel...talk about skinny.

If its really time to upgrade I'd get the Sterns then have Weldcraft Wheel widen the rears to 10" or 11". Best of both worlds. It'll cost a little more initially but will pay off in the long run. Also look into the black spoked American Racing Rebels. Those ADRs are sweet, nearly identical to the HP Evos it looks like, but they dont fit your car's theme I dont believe.

i like the sterns and wanted to get them for my old car. i think ive seen some of the ADR wheels with a black center before and i know they were on ebay when i found them.
just a word of advice though, if you are looking to be different and dont like the black ZR1s because they are played out, then dont get the torq thrusts either as they are used on TONS of cars...

would look great on the red i think. good luck
