Photoshop Request!!!!
Hey, I don't know if this is enough info. but could someone photoshop these two wheel options on to the picture of my car from "My Corvette Photos"? The wheels are 9.5" reproduction ZR-1's d=from OE Distributors. I am just trying to decide between painted and polished finished. I am leaning towards polished, but I just can't decide, and so I thought maybe a photoshop image of each might help. Thanks !!!!!

Ya, it's funny, it seems that the finish (polished or painted) seem to have a very different look depending on the colour of the car. I've looked at every picture in the Forum Gallery of C4's with ZR1 rims and it seems that the polished sometimes looks better on the strong dark colurs, (black, dark blue, dark green) whereas the painted seem to look better on the lighter cars, and I would consider mine (steel blue metallic) to be a lighter or softer colour. Hmmm..., maybe I should go painted... Ahhh.... I am horrible with decisions.....

1991camaro - Yikes, if I ever had any doubt now I know for sure that I don't want black rims. Might work for some people but not for me!!!
Any chance you can do the same thing with the polished and painted ones? Thanks though!!!

88BlackZ-51 - yeah, still considering the 11's as it does look killer from the back end, but i like the ability to rotate, plus I am a bit of a "stock nut" so the 9.5" stock look is a little more to my liking, not to mention suspension and understeer impacts.

I think the black ZR1's would look great for your car. I got the polished wheels from OE, they look better for my car because of the dark color (Black Rose Metallic). But for lighter colors, black looks mean, like a GS! Also, email OE, they might have 'em in black if you choose to go that route. They were a pleasure to do business with, fast shipping. I only paid 500 bucks for all 4 (17x9.5's), and some people might question the quality, but for me they're good enough, no auto-x or racing here. Secondly, I'd go with the polished to offset your car 's color. I think the stock ZR1 wheels would blend in too much with your car's color, IMHO......

C4Jimmy - see attached link to thread I posted a while back in C4 General. I was contemplating the 9.5's vs. 11 and got some feedback that suggested that non-GS's and ZR1's aren't set up to appropriately handle the 11's and corresponding wider tires (315's) I understand the idea in theory, but not well enough to explain it msyelf. Hope the other thread answers your questions.

As for OE, yeah, I haven't heard anything bad about them, and I also don't do any racing or auto x-'ing, so I'm sure they will work fine for me.

Thanks again 1991camaro - I am now leaning back toward the painted rims.... The polished and chrome look almost seems too flashy (bling bling) given the colour of the car. I don't think I'd be a good candidate for "Pimp my Ride". I think the painted may better suit the overall look of the car. Thanks again.

I've got a 90 steel blue with painted rims. I thought I had the pics here at the office, but they must be at home. If I can get ahold of them at lunch, I'll try to post one so you can see a "live" example.
