With or without?

Thanks

I like em both.....but if you twisted my arm I'd say without.......do they offer a smaller center cap with logo for without?

[XfireZ51]

With.

[SteelBlueZR1]

Definately, with. It makes the wheel look like an upgraded factory option, rather than just another aftermarket wheel.

David, I think you're just showing off your Dymags. Very nice.
With.

Dave,



Another vote for with. They look like they are missing something without. Maybe something custom from Carter would be even cooler and unique. Another thought is somehow having the right year emblem for your year ZR-1 if possible instead of the 84-90. Yes, keep on rubbing in that you have a set........lol. We all wish we had a set, even without center caps.

Without, but add Carter's ZR-1 logo small caps.

David,
Good looking either way but like 'em better with the covers on

[rogerzr1]

David, looks good either way but I like with the best.

[WB9MCW]

I like the look with out better. With the caps the wheels look "heavy" to me. So on my 90 I went without

Dave, I just don't know which way they look better, sorry mate. You'd better send them to me and I'll send you a set of 17" wheels that will fit and have great center caps...oh the wheels are chrome too. Great deal, yea?:sign10:

Okay, I'll be serious.:neutral: I can't make up my mind!:p

I like them with the '89 caps.

My buddy Evan has a set of the Gen 1 Dymags on his red '85 GS80 (doesn't have the TRACO engine) with the '89 caps as well, but his caps are the machined finish. He also has a set of 2 brand new in the original box 11" Gen 1 Dymags. He won't part with them though.

PM me as I can help when you are ready for a small or large cap....

[ZONER 95]

I like without... but with the small caps......doesn't look as heavy and gives more depth and dimension to the wheel...

You know this is the direction I would follow, Carter will make the sweet wheels even Sweeeeeter! You need to update the center logo anyway. :cheers:

[efnfast]

I voted "with" already, but looking at ZONER 95's with the small cap's, I like that better.

[XfireZ51]

Wonder what wheels would look like w center lug area painted black?

[ZRapid-1]

I see that you are near Philadelphia.
It’s like your ordering a Cheese steak ----- “Wit or Witout”!

Here is my view:
Witout: The wheel looks unfinished. Looks like something is missing. The hole for the center cap looks out of place. Only thing saving this look is the small center cap over the wheel bearing. That could be improved by adding a ZR-1 or Corvette logo to it.

Wit: The large center cap covers the ribs and is a small improvement. Unfortunately, it’s a bit larger than I would like. An upgrade would be to add a large ZR-1 logo in place of the Corvette logo. I like the idea of identifying our cars as ZR-1 s. They look too much like regular ‘vettes and need something to make them stand out.

Other ideas:
A custom center cap that covers the five ribs but allows the lug nuts to be seen. Think of a starfish shape which would provide a more finished look. Could be expensive to make though.

Add a paint stripe around the rim. Break up the monochromatic look.

I like the full center cap but not too crazy about the emblem.How about a custom made full center cap with a ZR-1 logo?

Jeff,

You read my mind. I'm sending a set of large caps to see if Carter can do something!
