Default What Wheels Look Better on a Vert Sawblades or ZR-1's

Also has anyone installed 9.5x11 Sawblades on all 4 corners? if so will the fronts stick out more or in?

Its a personal decision. I had the Zr1 type on my `87, then after a while, I got tired of those & installed the sawblades. Not a `vert though.

I like zr1's (had many sets before), but after awhile they look plain Jane. I'd vote sawblades or earlier wheels. The change looks good for awhile, then...

I think the 5-Spoke "ZR-1" wheel is not for all colors in the C4. I have photochopped Betty Boop with 5-spoke wheels and it does not attract me. Now, the second I did it to The Ghost there was chemistry right away.

Im searching for 17" wheels for Betty Boop. I dont like the look with the 18" wheels. Id like to install 9.5" front and 11" rears. To find that type of set is hard. Ive done few searches and cant find a 11" (non ZR-1 5-spoke) for the C4. There are plenty on 9.5" wheel set.

Sorry for the highjack, do the afs 17x11's fit flush on regular c4 rears? I see they are a different offset. Car in question is a 92

not completely but to me (on my 92) it's barely noticable.

I voted sawblades - not because I have them on my 94, but --- looking at both side by side ---- sawblades 100%

I lean towards the chrome sawblades. I know someone who has them on his 86 and I want to chrome mine, and put them on my 96. They look great and will hide my dust shields.

Just about every stock LT1on the planet(non collector edition) came with sawblades.
ZR-1's hands down with 17X11 rears!
The most compliments I get about the car are its @$$ and its stance on those rims.
