Brand new wheels! C7 zr1 reps, but nicer. Mrr m755 in black chrome
So as the title states, I just installed a new set of wheels on my Centennial Edition Grand Sport. The wheels are based on the C7 ZR1, but more concave. So they look nicer. Also, they are more aggressive offsets. 19x10 +30 and 20x12 +50 (my old wheels were stock OEM Z06 wheels 19x10 +43 and 20x12 +59) If anyone is local to Chicago and wants to buy my old wheels, shoot me an offer. They're in MINT condition.
Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 275/30/19 and 325/25/20
I'm running a 5mm spacer in back for more flush fitment.
I will take better pics as soon as I lower it a tad more on the stock bolts.

Looks great! I have been thinking about these in gloss black for my GS, but wasn't sure what they looked like. I have a bad habit of changing wheels often, and this may have pushed me in that direction
I was just looking at some of these. Thanks for posting, now I know what they look like.
Yes, after seeing January_starchild's car on Instagram with the OEM ZR1 wheels, I knew I wanted a set. Especially since the MRR's are concave and not flat-face like the OEMs

Oh, me too. I just had my OEM C7 Z06 wheels refinished in hyper black at the powder-coater (cost a pretty penny), and def didn't need a second set of wheels. But I fell in love with the design, so I had to have it.

Yes, the tires were my biggest dilemma. I knew I didn't want the heavy run-flat MPSS's and I hated the way the OEM size Continentals on my C7Z wheels were stretched. Only other option was going down a bit on the best tire on the market. Overall I'm happy with the result. And the new 4S's were cheaper then the rock hard OEM ZP's

Simply AMAZING! I don’t think you could’ve picked a better wheel design and I’m a huge black chrome fan. I love the 19/20 setup. I’ve been looking at exactly this for my ‘08 base. Just need some help figuring out the offsets..... And of course gathering the funds!! Super sweet man, congrats
Those look GREAT! And while I’m not a big fan of black wheels, I’m starting to think that the black chrome would look great on my DSOM car. They give a dark and contrasting look, but without loosing much of the wheel ‘definition’.
Are the MRR Wheels Gloss Black Powdercoat or PVC Black Chrome ???
With the 5mm Rear Spacers you really have same as 55 ET (Back Spacing)
(and TIRE Side Wall still not FLUSH or is it ????
What Color or Shade from what material is your Splitter and Skirts AND
What Brand at What Cost $$$$$
Chuck Sharin
They are PVD Black Chrome.
And with a 5mm spacer, the offset of effectively +45. I'm sure you can still push it a bit, but for me this is the perfect functional stance on my car. The only slight worry in the back of my head is that I'm losing a couple of turns on the tuner lug nuts since there are no extended thread lug nuts that will fit these wheels.
The lip is ZRAL-1 from a forum supplier. The side skirts are generic fiberglass ZR1 I'd assume (came with the car). Everything is paint matched Carbon Flash Metallic.

Yes, when I first saw this design on the C7 ZR1 in person, I knew that would be my next wheel. I'm glad I paid more for the Black Chrome, it really sets them off.

Thank You, I was debating whether to get them paint matched in Carbon Flash or Black Chrome, but I'm glad I went with the latter.

Yes, I don't like all black either. I had Hyper Black on my C7Z wheels, and it worked well with my car's color, but Black Chrome is the perfect complement to Carbon Flash

Yup, I'm loving it. Glad you like it

Yes, I figured I'd set my car apart a bit, since most people buy the wheels in Gloss Black

CentennialGS - I'm a big fan of flush fitments. One thing to consider though is increased possibility for stone chips. Might want to consider paint protection film on the body panel below the doors and ahead of the rear wheels.

Yes, I've been considering that too. the vertical piece of the side-skirt is already all chipped up, and I know with the new wheels it will only be worse.
Same here.....was wondering what they'd look like on a black C6.......looks ok. I'm definitely out now.....
Well they're not to everyone's taste. Although my car is not black. I think these wheels in gloss black on a black Vette would look pretty cool. Check out January_Starchild and Bane205 on Instagram
