its because the silver that the zr1s come in is a little bit too dull. If it had more metal flake in the finish to make it brighter they would be ohhhh so good.... go with chrome

I got your text earlier, getting ready to start looking at some options. My vote is NO to ZR1s!!! Too overdone.

On your car I'd get the chrome ZR1s with the deeper lip over other choices in that price range and size.

Yeah i think so. I was planning on stepping up to CCWs but then i threw a cam and stall on the car so my college budget cant do that now I'm afraid to dish that $ out and then a week later my tranny goes down, haha with my luck that would happen. I'm thinking about some black AR rebels now.
