Need Pics and suggestions of Black ZR1 rims on a white Camaro!

I'm looking to get some new rims for my car but can't decide on black or polished? I want the ZR1 rims and would appreciate any pictures of them on a white Camaro. I've done a bunch of looking and debating and I think I want these. So please help me decide and post some pics thanks.

if you go with black i suggest some kind of black somewhere else on the car as well (tail lights, side markers, hood graphics, etc.). if that's not an option go with polished.

personally i got the polished zr1's and had them powdercoated so there wasn't that ugly silver ring on the bead. black car black rims

Yea I've been thinking that the black rims will look out of place on an all white car. I have no black at all on the outside of the car so I think I'm leaning towards the polished. Now size is becoming the debate. I want big but don't want to bang in my wheel wells.

I've seen your car and it looks awesome, but you have a ton more black going on. I have a solid white hard top and absolutly no black on my car besides the interior. Im curious to see what the camaro guys went with size where you dont have to modify anything to fit. TA's have more fender to them, Camaro's dont.

i have the 17x11's and i had to grind the bump stop mount down, roll the fender lip, and do just a little massaging on the inner fender. that's on the rear. on the front my 17x9.5's fit perfect. offsets are 50mm rear and 56mm front. the only think i didn't think about was the way two different offsets look. if i could do it again i'd go 17x11' w/ 315's on all four.

IMO. your car would look badass if you get black rims, SS hood with stripes all the way back, blacked out lights all around, and tinted windows.

Do they make the ZR1's in a 17x10 size? I def. don't want to do any grinding or rolling of any lips to get some rims on my car so the 17x11's are out. Or is 17x9.5 the only other size out there for these rims?

The black zr1's will look hott!! polished or chrome tends to blend in with white. The black wheels add a new dimension to white. They will go great with the roof and emblems. The car will look prett tough
I bought a set of 17x9.5s from discounttiredirect.com for around 500.
good luck deciding

if you want minimal modification get 17x9.5's with 275 40's they should bolt right on. (you might want to grind off some of that bump stop mount anyway just to be safe, cuz when the car is on the ground everyhting is fine but when you jack the car up it could dig into the rim.)

I did polished on my all white SS... I just thought black would look horrible. And to damn dirty. But that is just my $.02 cents
