Need Help with Rim Selection - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

xlr8nflorida · 05-27-2011

I have a 6 piston setup on my Z. The stock rims are in storage as well as some 5 spoke chromes. Currently, I have the 5 spoke chromes on the ZR-1. I have debated powder coating the extra set 5 spokes black.

I am pretty particular with the way the wheels sit in the wheel well. Many big brakes/rims either don't look correct or they change the stance of the car. I went through this years ago with a Wilwood 6 piston setup. With the Baer's the stance is correct.

I have seen all the rims over the years and it seems we are very limited, CCW, FISKE, HRE etc. I thought the Shelbys looked decent. Some of the others are too blingy for me. To be honest, I am not even a big fan of the 5 spoke chromes but it was what came on my car so I have left it alone. Many of the 3 piece wheels are too blingy for me as well.

The ones that appeal to me the most are DYMAG Gen 1 & Gen 2 with the Nod going to Gen 1 probably without the covers on them - powdercoated in black maybe minus the lug covers and with black lugs.

These Fiskes also appeal to me in black. I know the black makes the wheel disappear but I'm not a big fan when the lip is a different color - just personal taste.

Naturally, I'd want to drop the ride height and close the gap on the fenders.

Any thoughts on the best rims and color would be appreciated. I don't mind spending the $$$ but in the end I want to be happy with it.

Best rims for Yellow, I'm thinking black.......

Dymag Gen II's?
