Nope. Number one: they are too narrow - ZR1s need man size rims! :D

Number two: the offset will be all wrong for a beefy ZR1 rear end!! :jester :seeya

The Z06 has a smaller contact patch then the ZR-1. Go with some Fiske's or CCW or HRE something like that if you don't like the 5 spokes.

What rings true for me is this... any C-5 or Z06 wheel just looks out of place on a C-4... and visa versa... The style of the wheel needs to match the style of the car... As many have said before... "wheels make the car"... and "right wheel " does wonders for a cars appearance...

It all comes down to your personal taste... some of the stuff their getting big bucks these days is just way to weird looking for me.... Center spinners? Who's idea was that ? What is the purpose of those ? To hypnotize other drivers on the road? When one of those spinners falls off at speed someday and bounces into oncoming traffic... where will the liability land on that one ? :crazy:
