Im torn between the two....but since you can order the centrelines in the proper offset and DO NOT have to use spacers....Id say go with them.

With the SLP ZR1's you don't have to use spacers. :-)
***
An SLP exclusive, these 17 x 8" ZR-1-style wheels were specifically designed to fit 1982-1992 F-Bodies without spacers or other modifications. They're now available in Chrome, Classic Silver or Hyper Black and come complete with matching SLP center caps.
***
Here's the page with the CL's ...I'm not sure exactly which ones are the correct ones for me but I am going to try to call them soon I guess.

i vote for black Z06's or black rebels...those other photoshopped pics looked awesome...i would seriously go with a black rim, it matches your paint perfectly...
ZR1's are nice, but they are everywhere...they are awesome rims, and they come in 11" wide, i think thats why most people run them...but they are dime a dozen...

Chromed aluminum just looks plain bad, sorry but true and I'm siticking to it.
So my vote goes go for the Retros.

I just really love the Retros...I am hoping to make a roadtrip to Summit in the next few weeks and see them in person to make my decision but I'm about 99% sure I want the retros. I love the SLP ZR1's but they are seen everywhere....with all the work I've put into the exterior and interior it would just make more sense to set it all off with a less common rim. :-)

I don't know what to tell you. I really like the ZR1s on thirdgen Camaros. I have seen Ions91Z's car in person a couple times and I loved his ZR1s. But, I also like wheels that not everybody has. I like to see thirgens with wheels that I know I won't see on any other thirdgens. Tough choice!

In my mind the centerline wheels are superior to the Zr1's, set the whole custom look of your car off really well. ZR1's would cramp your cars style.
