If you have seen a GS, you know what the black wheels look like on it. That is personally the way I would go.

You actually have them reversed. The GS offset of +50 will stick out about a half inch and the ZR1 offset of +36.5 will be closer to an inch. The GS offset looks better and less ricer to me. It will still give an aggresive look from behind. Once you go wide back there you will never go back.

Another chrome ZR-1 . GS offset .

Not GS wheels but gloss black with polished lip .

Flat charcoal just for the hell of it .

At least you can see what the different finishes look like on the Admiral Blue . Just get one set of each ,black GS's & chrome ZR-1's .

I had the 11 inch on the rear but have recently sold them and went with the original 9.5 on all four corners!
