Black wheels are for someone who hates to clean and remove brake dust.

I Like the Z06 Option Better

The only issue is that you talk about removing ZR-1s because everyone has them, yet the Z06 option is just as played out So it's not really a better option for uniqueness, although I still say DO IT if you feel like a change

I agree with the above, Z06s are becoming just as popular. TT2s for the win.

do you know how retarded you look saying that zr1's are too popular when tt2 have been the number 1 selling hot rod muscle car rim for over 15 years now. The tt2 is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO played out and are too common. Go with something you like, that is what matters the most, but atleast try to be unique, not like everyone else.
I have zr1's painted semi black with a chevy engine orange lip. I lke them, but I am now starting to look at some 18's or 18/19 combos because after basic and tech school for the military, i will have the money to order some nice wheels barely anyone has.
just my 2 cents.

Photochop in my rims to your car. I choose gunmetal ZR1's w/ polished lip because almost NO ONE has them. My rears are also 17x11. Maybe just have yours repainted a gunmetal color??

the black doesn't look to bad on your car, but I think chrome would be the best choice, also expensive.

black wheels are always appealing, because of the price tag
I'd keep em if I were you, spend your money on more go-fast-goodies.

I've noticed

It doesn't matter if you have a berger panel, or blackout TS. chrome or atleast silver wheels would look a heck of alot better.

I've always liked that color on the z28's though. pretty car, other than the wheels.
just my 2 cents, and don't take it as an insult, atleast your not still rockin' salad shooters!

do you care for silver/anthracite? I've seen a z28 same color as yours with gunmetal rims that looked awesome. Perhaps you should just get the black zo6's, they'd be a little better than the black zr1's.

That's exactly what I was thinking IMHO between the Rivets and the Chrome Lip there is just enough brightness to them to stand out
