IMO the Z06's are the best rims to have on a camaro, thats what i voted for.

also the ZR1's are my 2nd choice, but if my Z would have had ZR1's on it, i'd have just got bigger and widder in the rear.

thats my 0.02

BTW is that red interior? or just the way it looks?

If you get new rims are you willing to sale the ones you have currently? I have satin zr-1's but I want chrome.

Those look like the "new style" ZR1's on your car (i definitly could be wrong though). I think Z06 wheels with the "machined" face that can be found on ebay and also the ones that kornfed had on his SS. Those i think would look absolutely sick on that car.

These are the ones he sold but they're good for pics. https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/522488-looking-something-unique-35th-aniv-style-z06-wheels-look.html

That's ok just throwing another idea out there. I liked the way they looked on his car and i thought black everything but the faces and lips would look cool. Of the ones you said i'd say go with either the rebels or the torq thrusts. Havn't seen too many with rebels and the TT's are timeless

I'd say keep the ZR1s because they're sharp, clean, and classic. But that's just me and I'm getting ready to buy a set of them in chrome, so I may be biased.

I don't think you'd go wrong with any of them, but I like the HPs.

and just curious, where can you find the HP wheels in black with a polished lip?
