Here are some pics (not the best quality) of my new 2012 CE Z06 Z07 with ZR1 wheels (put the Pilot Cups away for now). I just barely got it home and the snow flew - so it is parked until the snow and gravel are off the roads!

Sure like those other Cup wheels you have.
I never noticed before how similar the ZR1 wheels are to the original Z06 wheels.

That CE Z06 above looks a whole lot better with those ZR1s.

Finally the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP tires came in, so I mounted up the oem ZR1 rims on the Z06. What a night and day difference going from 345 Nittos Nt05R's to the Michelins. Car gets very squirly in 2nd gear from a 60mph roll. will keep t/c on at all times.
