Major difference, that first set looks like it belongs on an out dated truck.

:iagree: I hated em. I actually traded mine plus 150 for those. I think I came out ahead

The new set looks so much better. Great change.

The car went from kinda dorky to its rightfully appoined bad-ass self !

Ok now an important question. Do I paint calipers red or black???

jimkmyc5 07-14-2013 04:52 PM

They look great and I'm not even much of a fan of black wheels....:rock:

Silver, the red would stick out like a sore thumb and the black would just blend in.

black

The ZR-1 style wheels are by far the best looking wheel on a C4. I wish I still had mine. I sold a perfectly good set of A-molds to buy the AR TTMs that are on my car now. They look OK... but I'm already to go back to a set of wheels like you have there.

Agree +1

statistics show red calipers actually help the powertrain

Big improvement. How about silver??

Wow, those old wheels were ugly. Looks awesome I would say silver calipers.
