I'm buying new wheels. Whatever I get is going to be 17x9.5 up fron tand 17x11 in the back. I'm stuck between polished torq thrust IIs and chrome ZR1s. The ZR1s are cheaper but I've had them on the car since she was born. All my wheels now have slight curb rash and one is bent to hell So which ever gets the most vote on here is what I will get. Oh yeah and if it matters the car is a 2000 camaro ss convertible silver with black top.

Is it the convertible? If so, his pictures were the ones that made me want to get the wheels! My car is the same color and everything so mine will look just as good.

The ZR1 is a better looking wheel for the fourth gen and are 100 times easier to clean/care for. I had the torque thrust on my 69 RS/SS, I had to polish those damn things every week to keep them looking nice. The torque thrust are a killer looking wheel for the old school guys but not the best complement to the fourth gens....IMO

I vote ZR1's.

TT2, the hassle to clean them is worth it over ZR1's, looks WAAAAYYYY better. I would like to recommend these though:

Not too crazy about either one, but the heavy *** TT2's would not fly with me. So I'd say ZR1's.

Peace,
Craig.
