I personally like the ZR1s.

FlyinLow89 03-09-2006 01:32 PM

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.

BadGirlIROC 03-09-2006 01:35 PM

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.

Everyone has the SLP's I'd go with the centerline's for sure:thumbsup:

casebaseball205 03-09-2006 01:41 PM

i like the zr1s our of those two...but i think smootie IIs would still look mean on that car

klumb15 03-09-2006 01:44 PM

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...

correct and I considered that. But the ones photoshopped onto your car are not the ones made for a 3rd gen offset. I can tell by looking. The thirdgen offset ones, the spokes are inset more on the wheel.
they have quite a different look altogether

Hmmmm. Not sure stumped as well. They both look good. That first pic looks funny it looks like a rear turning Z28.

shawn18jgr 03-10-2006 11:09 AM

Awesome paint by the way! :goodjob:

ErG0 03-10-2006 11:48 AM

ZR1's for sure...

Nice IROC...:D

maroon88iroc 03-10-2006 02:32 PM

id say zr1's but everyone is right they are pretty common.

3.8TransAM 03-10-2006 04:20 PM

Chromed aluminum just looks plain bad, sorry but true and I'm siticking to it.

So my vote goes go for the Retros.

later

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. :-)

BlueZee28 03-10-2006 04:39 PM

i say ZR1's, everyone has them for a reason, they're NICE. everyone's got a camaro, but you still have one right? lol

cooltc2004 03-10-2006 04:52 PM

Just because it the wheel I want to get if I decided to change my wheels, get the ZR1's. My personal favorite is aluminium or gunmetal, but out of those two, chrome aint half bad :thumbsup:

Brisk 03-10-2006 08:15 PM

definatly the top ones

Firebat 03-10-2006 08:18 PM

The centerlines...only a fan of zr1's in black

Firebat 03-10-2006 08:34 PM

i take that back, the rims on BlueZee28 look awesome. And i think i've seen some 18" zr1 rims on ebay...??

@ZZKKER 03-10-2006 08:53 PM

dtcustoms on here has connections to get great prices on 18" zr1 and 18" zo6. last i seen he was wanting 440 shipped and insured to your door for a set of zo6's. you might pm him if your interested.

Firebat 03-10-2006 08:54 PM

nevermind...

Black_Widdow 03-10-2006 09:10 PM

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!

CYARS92 03-10-2006 09:31 PM

Retro's, The rest of your car is different, the wheels should be also!

82firebird 03-10-2006 09:54 PM

Black z06's. :D

If I had to choose between the one's above I'd say the ZR1's.

superGMman 03-10-2006 10:42 PM

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.:cool:

ABJ88 03-11-2006 05:43 PM

Go with the Centerlines
