ok guys i'm debating on which set of ZR1's i'm going to be buying when i finish saving up....

anyone opt for me to get chrome or the silver "gunmetal" ones?
which do you guys think would look best?

 

I have always liked the look of chrome, the silver ones IMO just look cheaper. Are they the same price? Will you have aftermarket brakes on there, the chrome might bring more attention then the silver ones therefore if you have the stock brakes people might notice that.

 

yea i got the stock brakes....

but i think the center of the wheels are big enough to cover most of them...

 

paint your brakes

 

i did that for a show...that stuff dont stick too well. a month later i had a blend of painted and unpainted brakes lol

 

and the rears are drums...if i decided to switch to rear discs you guys know where i could get a deal on that too?

 

There are ALWAYS great deals in the classifieds section, or you can buy mine for $2000 and the rest of the car comes free haha but seriously, the classifieds section are the way to go for mostly any used parts.

 

Silver and gunmetal are two different colors.

I'd skip chrome and get some polished ones, chrome looks cheap compared to a nice polished wheel imo.

 

Between the two choices you listed, I think the chrome would look best on your car. But Gr89RS may be on to something with that polished idea...

 

I like the look of polished but did the ZR1s come polished, I am not sure but I dont think so. If that were a choice I would pick them.

 

One of many polished sets up for sale

yea i didn't realize gunmetal and silver were different, well the gunmetal is out of the question...that i dont think would look too good.....

yea i thought about polished but is there any positives about the polished ones over the chrome, other than they look a lil' better?

i figure that chrome is more apt to pitting and flaking?

 

Those polished ones didnt come stock on corvetted right, are those aftermarket ones. Sorry about that.

 

i'm pretty sure that they never did come on vettes....but for the record almost all of the wheels on ebay are replica's anyways...

 

If its going on that metallic blue car, i'd opt for chrome.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking.

 

i feel stupid for asking this but doesn't chrome and polished look identical?

 

They are very similar to the average person...Just pick whichever you like the most.
