Keep'em or Ditch'em??
I'm currently running a set of OEM Sterling Silver ZR1 wheels and debating on changing them out to something else. Thoughts? Opinions welcome good and bad! Thanks!

I like em. Makes the GS look unique.

I think they look great! They set off the car's lines very well. What I'd get rid of is the one and only piece of chrome on the otherwise (all blue) sides, that GS emblem, that to me, interrupts the lines of the car.

Personal opinion...Ditch 'em
I've never been a fan of the C6 ZR1 wheel, they always looked a little too busy for me...not to mention, they have got to be a bi--h to keep clean. I love the car, nothing better than any shade of Blue Grand Sport, but as long as you're asking...

Keep em
1. I swear those wheels were designed to match your blue.
2. They are OEM and not some overweight Chinese wheel that a lot of members put on their cars for looks alone which end up degrading their suspension/brakes/ride...
3. You already own them! Spend the money on other mods like headers/exhaust/intake, 2 post car lift, etc...

Ditch 'em. I'll take 'em off your hands for free!
Seriously, I've always liked those wheels and they look really nice with the blue. Thank you for not having black wheels!!
One more thing.....IMHO, that chrome badge looks sharp and complements those wheels very nicely. Keep it as is.

I wouldn't change a thing. I'm debating getting ZR1 wheels myself in chrome.

I like them but would not like to clean them. A little busy also for my taste.

Color and looks, generally, they go well. But they ARE busy looking to me, too. If you like that, no objections. I like a simpler look.

Keep 'em, ditch 'em, yes, no, look good, look busy, etc., etc.
All a matter of personal taste, your choice OP.
OK, now here's my 2 cents...
1) The wheels look very good. I would not change them.
2) If you keep the wheels, keep the chrome badge.
3) If you decided to go with black wheels, then you'd want the fender badges black as well.
The badges always look best when they compliment the wheels.
I've just given you the only accurate opinion on this thread!
