^^^ i'm diggin' the BK in your backdrop..... oh, and i guess the cars are alright

Regarding the thread, i would go w/ 10 spokes. My roommates got them on his 2000 silver SS and they look swish.

That is a hard decision...I like them both. Here's my car with Chrome 10 spokes and SLP suspension.

I would reuse the fivestars. With the extra money saved I would buy these newly designed, higher milage, Goodyear tires.

Yea those chrome 16" wheels are ugly. I thought you were talking about the better looking chrome 17" Five spokes.

The ZR1's dont have the peeling issue that the 10 spokes do.
