SO I GUESS YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING RIGHT????

A little pitting and dirty but I am going to a gloss black with custom cap emblems of some type(ZR-1 script logo maybe??)

Wow worst A-Mold I have ever seen.... So many black A-Molds out there, Ever thought of polishing them?

oricale · 11-05-2011

Working on some ideas....!....carbon fiber anyone ??

Aurora40 · 11-05-2011

I'd say go with like a gunmetal if you don't want black. Or a black chrome.

Personally I wouldn't do a carbon fiber look.

My opinion means nothing but I think black wheels on any car regardless of the color looks terrible. I love polished aluminum then silver then chrome.

I would prepare those and have them powder coated silver.

repainted the stock color

OK,..FYI I took the pic after sanding them for a bit.....!

???.....what if I leave it to the registry....???

1. Painting them the same color they were defeats the purpose since the 1991 ZR-1 didnt come with these wheels anyway..lets be creative....

2. How about black crinkle with red etched ZR-1 in the wheels?

3. White???

4. black chrome?

5. Chrome/polished might be a little played out

6. remember the car is white with a red stripe and red interior!..

I await your input...

black crinkle sounds like a bitch to clean. black chrome

lbszr · 11-07-2011

Black with the silver lip, with the white car, like the grand sports........but I guess that's not really creative

If you want something different with your white/red theme, how about white color matched powdercoating with ZR-1 painted center caps or something like that. Some might not like it, but it you do then it is cool and all that matters. I think it might not be bad. Someone said black wheels suck on anything, but I don't think so. It would be cool to play around with Photoshop or something and I wish I knew how to do that.
