Neither. Personally, I like both of those, but a set of C6 Motorsports would look **** on that car.

Z06 look more exotic and on a trans am, they look good but I am partial to ZR1s because they give the car a more mean muscle car look IMO. Both those trans am loook damn good tho.

I say ZO6's. I don't really like the ZR1's for some reason. Don't look like the poll is helping to much. 61/61

Looks like it's neck and neck! I voted Z06. The ZR1 wheels are just too similair to the stock WS6 wheels in my opinion.

Zr-1's are too plain-Jane. Get the BLACK Z06s, they'll add that Vaderesque look to your car. The chrome ones look great too. Z06 is a more classy wheel.

Why would I need to do that? Those are actual pics of my car. I already own both sets. Just trying to figure out what everyone thinks look best. As of now I think I'm going to go with the zr1's.
