MUCH BETTER!

I hate the Z06 Motorsport wheels, I think the ZR1's look 1000x better.

Good trade!!

No, they are from AFS I believe. I looked on the back to find the offset but it was not labeled. All it said was 17x11. I just put them on and the fit with no modification at all and have plenty of clearance! I absolutely love them!

When you take a picture of black rims, try not to make it so that they are in the shade/shadow.

Oh yeah, and those new ones look better.

im curious of the offset, they seem to stick out a bit more then what i have seen of others. None the less i will be getting rid of my Z06's and getting ZR1's too. looks good man.

the A in the inserts was reflecting me in it so it looks like it isnt there but in is! Thanks for all the good comments! Looks like I made the right decision!

You did a good job ripping someone off . Those z06s didnt even come close to the same value/look of the zr1s.

You should not have traded buddy. Your black zr1s that you traded with the wide polished lip are prob worth about 900-1k with those sumis. His z06s with unknown tires were prob worth about 600.

I dont like the 11" rears. The offset needs to be different so they dont stick out as much. That look is cool for 60-70 muscle cars but not these.

The rear wheels dont stick out any more than the others I have seen in person. The pics just really make the look like they stick out far!

The top outside edge of the tire sits flush with the inner quarter panel as can be seen in the first pic!
