Well I finally found one, ZR1 owner now

2009, 3ZR.

Will be lowering it, tuning it, and doing an MGW shifter install ASAP. Next planned mods will most likely be 2.3x upper, LPE snout, upgraded heat exchanger (no clue what brand), and maybe headers. Haven't decided yet.

Welcome to the club! My buddy has a CG 2009 just like it approaching 50K miles of abuse (without any issues and he drives the hell out of it) and I also had a CG 2010 before my current torch red one. Great cars just out of the box and with a few goodies (looks like you are heading down that path

) they are a beast!

Thanks guys. I'm leaning towards buying a set of Weld wheels for the car. 18's fit on all 4 corners yes?

I was told welds don't fit without grinding calipers. I went CCW 18" all corners.

Grinding the calipers a bit really wouldn't bother me that much. I know Forgeline 18's fit in the rear, but most of the people I see run 19's up front

I may be mistaken but I think our only options on the zr1 are located in the Corsair series.

Well that sucks, I would probably end up back with Weld if thats the only option.

I had to make this decision last month. After much thought and research put into grinding and getting no answers from WELD I went with CCW. The amount of grinding is a very good amount especially on the front, more than I was comfortable with.

But it's been done.
