Default Black ZR1 wheels on Black Z...

First of all, I wanted to thank Bob at HOW for a speedy delivery, great guy to deal with!!

This is my fathers car, and he has mentioned several times how much he would like to have a set of black ZR1 wheels for his car, but he's not the modding type so he has never acted on it. He went out of town this past week to go elk hunting, so I thought I'd surprise him when he gets back...hope he likes them!!

Sorry for the crappy Iphone pics, the wife has both our cameras with her...

First of all, it's cool to have a son that gives a dad such a nice gift!!!...

Second, it's even cooler to have a dad with such good taste in cars!!!...

Your dad will love them...

Thanks guys!! The pics really do not do justice.

They are stock Z06 sizes, mainly due to the car, and tires, only have 1700 miles on it. I really wanted to go with a 19x10 front, but Goodyear does not make a tire in the proper size. My wife would have denutted me if I would have dropped 2500+ on a 19/20 setup that required new tires as well!!
