Default Nice black chrome HREs on the ZR1

Black Chrome looks good.. After seeing a ZR1 in person at the Autoshow I prefer the look of the Z06 but brakes on the ZR1.
Car needs lowered some...

I don't like the looks of those wheels on that vette. There is a whole lot of room in front and rear of the tires, too much space that doesn't make it look good. Sorry, not being a hater but just my .2c

I snapped a few pics of that ZR1 at SEMA as well. I agree that a little lowering is in order to make it look just right. Here is a close up of the wheel.



I really liked the HRE's on the DBS that was parked right behind that ZR1

I love Black Chrome!!

But those wheels just don't look right on the ZR1. Maybe different HRE's or lowering the car just slightly.

I'm with you - those meats look way too small. What size are those rims? If they're 20 + 21's that's why they look low rider/chollo/ghetto.

The Red ZR-1 was not supposed to be at the SEMA show. I guess they had a blk one that Marc said would have looked amazing with the wheel set up they were going to do but the car got into an accident and they were offered the car you see in the photo.


I didn't like it in Red in person and I didn't like those wheels on it either.


I still think the Z06 is cleaner looking. JMO

Looks terrible to be honest, they remind me of those 27" Lexanis that use a 24" tire.

Not enough rubber, just doesn't quite look right. I do like the rims though.

That ZR1 looks awesome with those wheels.

Anything HRE on a Corvette looks good..

I am not certain why those wheel/tires do not look right on that ZR1, maybe picture angle? They just do not fill out the wheel wells properly. I love the black chrome though.

The wheels look too big. I also think the GTR looks goofy with the size wheels that it comes with. Reminds me of the Pimped out Escalades with rediculous sized wheels
