Black Zr1's??? **** Pictures ***** Hey, i previously asked a question before if i should paint my zr1's black or go with chrome lip. I decided to paint them all black, let me know what you think. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...5/DSC_0719.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...5/DSC_0718.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...5/DSC_0717.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...5/DSC_0715.jpg |
Better with the lip I have a black Z28 with all black zr1's, but my car is black. Now I think that your would look better with the lip. |
Thanks.. Anyone else? lol |
Here is a older picture of my car with all black zr1s, the car is not pewter but should give idea what they will look like. Matt http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...carpics014.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...carpics017.jpg |

Is your car dropped? Also what size Zr1's are they? At that time it was not lowered. They are 17x9 or 17x9.5. Matt |
I agree, keep the lip it will set the car off. Here's some pics of my silver car. |
If i keep the lip then how will it flow with the car? |

I would normally not even second guess myself in saying go with the all black zr1s but in the case of pewter cars, sometimes that small bit of polish really sets off the paint and the theme. I sold my black 18" Stern's with polished lip to a guy out here; he put them on his pewter SS and made his car look better than it made my car look!!! |

Nice ride! |
So i painted my wheels all black, no chrome lip. I really like the look i will have pic's up soon |
You missed out by not going with the minor lip. Yeah, sometimes it can looks alright when the whole car is clean, wheels polished, tire wet on the tires, etc. But after the initial day of cleaning and the wheels get a little dirty and the tires don't shine anymore there is a definatite difference between the wheels and the tires and the tires look brown and it will look like ass until you clean it again. All of the ones that you see on here that look pretty good are 3 minutes after the cars were detailed and the wheels and the tires are pretty much the same black in color. Whereas the lip would have gave a nice distinction between wheel and tire and would have really gave it A LOT cleaner look. You'll notice when your car gets dirty again. I am speaking out of experience also as I did the wheels on my red WS6 without the lip and it was nice when clean but looked like sh@! when it bearly got any dirt on the wheels/tires. Again, just my .02 and can't wait to see your pictures!!! https://i273.photobucket.com/albums/...6/DSCF0277.jpg |
