I Got My Black Zr-1's On My 3rd Gen!!!!!

I finally got my new wheels on and I love them. I also put Nitto 555r's on the rear and they are amazing and still drive great in the rain. What do all of yall think of my car?

Looks good.
I find it to be a little too much black for my taste, but everyone to their own.
Still though the car looks sharp.

I agree with MaRky Mark...

I Think Chrome looks some much better with black.
Not saying it don't look good, just a little too much black for my personal tastes....

The motor is a 305 TBI but that will be gone pretty soon because i am building a stage two Grand National block. But for right now it is a 5 speed with a Centerforce, lakewood control arms and panhard, koni drag racing shocks and struts, a 4th gen rear end with the stock posi and 3.42 gears, a dump and flowmaster, k&n, msd 6a and the nitto's. i just get out of the hole really quickly.

Looks awesome...I wanted some Black ZR1s for my Black Formula, but I think I'm gonna go with the '02 CE rims. Looks good though.

I want the Black Ice versions of the ZS wheels. I love your wheels, but I like the flat looking color better than the glossy black. I hope black rims don't become a trend. I've been wanting them for 3 years LOL.

They don't offer the ZS in black ice, do they? I can't even find them in black. All I can find them in is the charcoal color. They used to offer them in black with stupid-colored outer rims, but never like they should have made them (i.e. just like Tom's) with black spokes & polished rim.

I would imagine he bought them that way. Those are repops of the stock Grand Sport wheels. www.afswheels.com and any other wheel site that sells ZR1 wheels offers them.
