They look good, but I like the black ZR1's better.

A black berger with the black ZR1's would look badass!

Car looks good with those wheels on there. But for the time being until you lower it, spray those fender wells with some black paint or just a good coat of tire shine..It will kind of hid them alittle

Lower it! j/k

Some people don't like the Y2Ks, but, to me they look clean on the right car.

Nice choice!

285/35r18 in the back with no spacers and so far no rubbing at all. I've taken some pretty hard turns to see if they rub due to body roll but nothing yet. once i lower it, i'll probbably need a spacer because it looks really tight.

Your car is sex. The rims still fit your car but I like the ZR1s better than the Y2Ks; but that's why it's your car. You have to do what makes you happy and I definitley agree on "I'd rahter go fast than look cool". So I give you props on that one

It looks good, but the black ZR1s look better to me. Car needs an SLP grille or something, or have those holes up front filled and painted.

Love the rims and did you know that your rotors aren't on right. They are on backwards.

I've always dug those wheels. Had them myself. Just don't dig the staggered look nor the ridiculous price difference between the front and rear tires.
Lookin good!
