Need help deciding on rims
Ok so I absolutely cannot decide on new rims for my car. I currently have 17-9's all the way round in chrome irocs. My car is medium quasar blue I believe, yet I want something that looks better. I really plan to go wider in the back (17-11's), so could someone give me some ideas of what would look best. I don't know if I should go with TT's in 17-9 up front and 17-11 in back, or ZR1 rims in the same width... If anyone could Photoshop me a pic of what TT's, and ZR1 rims would look like on my car, that would be nice.

I think the 17" chrome irocs you have are 8"wide non 9"
you have to measure were the tire seats not from outside!! I have 18" chrome irocs in 8" and 10" widened in the back
attached you have 3 pics :-
1 with last model zr1 rims
2 my car with 315/40/17 on old shape zr1 rims ( in my opinion they dont look good because they stick out a lot from the fender and as I like the car that sits low you will have trouble
3 my car with widened 18" irocs
hope I helped you

Re: Need help deciding on rims
The ZR-1's are nice, but I think muscle-sports cars look the best with rims that have a deep lip. The choice was easy for me: Ronal Firehawks. They are also 9.5" wide so would give you a wider look since that seems what your going for. These rims were also designed specifically for the 3rd gen body lines, thus they look stock, but yet very exotic too. I have had nothing but headturns and compliments since I put mine on. Absolutely the best mod I've done appearence wise. Check out my car domain-fquick pages and you can get a good idea what they look like, I have lots of pics from different angles.
