Hey guys! I am going to purchase the SLP replica ZR-1 wheels..They are running a special on them right now. $599.99 for a set of 4 ($100 off) Dont know how long the special is running but I want to grab them before it goes...I need help in deciding which one to get, either the SILVER or HYPER-BLACK finish...HELP me w/ deciding! Thanks

Here is a pic of my car

Personally, I think your car would match well with the silvers. I've been considering the Hyper Blacks on my black car, but I have the Hawaiian Orchid color on the bottom that would match the wheels. The silvers would look good with your ground effects.

definitely silver- 1. Black rims are ugly 2. like he said, the silver would go well with the silver GFX

Oh boy here we go again...

Hyper Black wheels are NOT black. Here's what they each look like:

Silver for your car, the pics of those wheels dont do them justice, i've seen a car locally with them, it looked great.

i am doing the hyper black wheels

I think the silver ones would look good. Most of the time, I'm not into black rims, even though I have seen a couple cars that I liked them on.

But its your car, you gotta drive it so you should be happy with it.

yeah deffinantly go with silver not only to match the gfx but it will have a nice contrast withe rest of that black beaughty!!

since you guys are talking about these rims i was wondering if you guys knew what the largest tires you could get on these would be without spacers and because they are only and 8" rim?

you dont need a spacer, they are jusy made for the 3rd gen offset


a 275 will fit perfect

Thanks for the input guys! I think I will go w/ the silver...

Anyone knows what happend to www.performancewheeloutlet.com

Did they go out of business?

Cool post some pics when you get them mounted!!

i want close ups...these are on my list also!:lala:

Id go with hyper black, tho with the 2 tone paint.. and the fact that the ground effects are silver .. I guess that silver is perfect.



EDIT: 275 cant fit that rim, its 8" wide.

Biggest i'd put on that rim is a 255, 275 is a bad idea.

I like the silver wheels on cars with silver GFX, but I guess I'm biased

Your probably thinking of the regular 17x9.5 ZR1/SS wheel, the thirdgen specific wheel is only 8" wide so as stated a 245 or 255 is the way to go.

i've seen 275s on a 8 inch rim without any trouble on my friends stangs

my dads runnin 175 on his 8 inch rims on his chevelle no problems n theve been on there for nearly 6 years

I'm probably going to go w/ 255 all around w/ SLP silver rims...Any pics of these rims on there 'maro would be much appreciated:hail:

It will physically fit yes, but with reduced functionality. If your buddie's had them on there for a while, take a look at the center of the tire. It will be more worn than the rest due to the way the tire is flexing to fit the smaller wheel pulling the edges of the tread pattern up. It's kinda hard to explain but hopefully you get the idea.

Case in point, the tires that came with a set of 17" ws6 wheels that I bought. It had 275 on the fronts and 315 on the rear, and the rear sidewalls had cracks from the tire flexing to much over time.
