Default Got new wheels for my ZR1 today

I purchased a 2200 mile 2009 JSB ZR1 a few months ago. Soon after I purchased a new set of CUP wheels from 1st Rate Corvette (a member on this forum). I just got my Z home today with the new wheels mounted. I love the new look. The pictures I took are very poor -- I snapped them of my car in the garage (it's extremely dreary outside today). I'll get better pics taken and posted when the weather is nicer, but I couldn't wait to share.

No. Thank you! Great product and excellent service! I love the new wheels. I'll get you better pictures of the car when I get it all cleaned up and in better light.

Looks Great! I picked up a set of Cup wheels from them too, I really like them over the Chrome I had.

I really like the cup wheels--machine-faced or black. Very nice design...

I wish I could remove the front plate. I'm too much of a rule follower. I tried to leave it off my last vette (a 2011 GS convertible)...got away with it for only a couple days when a small town police officer pulled me over and gave me a warning ticket for no front plate.

^ if it makes you feel any better, I've got the same front plate set-up on my car (TFR but w/o the plastic frame)

Great looking color combo: great looking ZR1!

I love the black cup wheels as they seem to compliment most any color vette. I am particluarly fond of the red lined version that came OEM on my CE ZR1. Red calipers behind black w/redlined cup wheels just gives me goose bumps with my color combo.

Don, can you post up a pic I'd debating on if I should get the red line , trying to find a pic of it on torch red I like the Blue Calipers but if I had a CE Red would be the way to go

Looking good.

Over the winter I bought the same set of wheels from the same place myself.

JSB .. Awesome colour !!


Personally I prefer the chrome, but that the CUP do give the "I mean business" look

Deb, I wish I could post a pic. But, I have yet to establish the means to do so. Your comment reminds me to stop procrastinating and get an account.

I just bought some gloss black ZR1 non cup wheels to replace my cup wheels. Funny how people want what they don't have. I am taking my cups with the race/street tires off and saving them for future resale. Got new Michelins to replace the race tires which aren't really suitable for street driving.
