Just ordered the wheels
Well, I decided last night that I was going to get the Black ZR-1 wheels 17x9.5" from E-Bay for my Polo Green 95'. I tossed around chrome and gunmetal and decided black would be the best choice. Now I have to wait 10 business days
. I will take pictures when I get them on. BTW, does anyone know where I can get only the rear center piece of carpet without spending an arm and a leg? Thanks

.... and i just ordered mine yesterday... zr1 17x9.5.
i think they're pretty common on this site, but i'm not a real big fan of the sawblades. maybe i just need a little change..
i got the silver wheels.
i like the black and the gunmetal.. but i don't know if i like the fact that the lip is polished aluminum .. kinda contrasts the darker rim colors.
if they were completely one color, i definitely would have gotten the gunmetal.
post the pix when you get em..

Midlifecrisis91, you are going to love the wheels. Easy to clean, look good and pretty inexpensive to boot!
I'm just curious who you guys went with. Could y'all post your wheel companies?
Strick, I've posed my car before, but honestly, flower petals? Please tell me that a tree dumped those and not you.
I have yet to get a truly great daytime picture, as when I have time to drive the car, it's always gloomy or approaching dusk. However, here is one that I love:

does anyone know why they have a polished lip? i'm guessing that if they did paint it like the rest of the wheel, and wheel weights were put on the outside of the rim... the paint would chip more easily??? dunno..
anyone have an answer?

... you are correct..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AFS-C...60812012QQrdZ1
but WOWSER!
$899 + 89 shipping...
my silver ones are only 459 + 89 shipping.. that's a HUGE difference in price.
they are HOT looking wheels.. i just can't justify spending so much more.
PLUS.. there would just be 1 more guy out there with your wheels, i'm helping you keep them less played out.
