16 Inch ZR1's
Found a pretty good price on them in Chrome. Plus I can use the same tires and put the money im saving elsewhere. Just curious how they look on a 4th gen. Anyone have any pics?

i had a set of silver zr1s on my 93 the car looked amazing. i think they look good on the early 4th gens and the 10spokes on the 98+ cars. mine are 17s but should give you a good idea of how it would look.

They should look fine. The 17's use a 50 series so the overall heigh should be close.

ZR-1's are the wheels that came on the ZR1 Corvette...
And they were put on the 97-99 SS Camaros and people consider them ZR1's since thats the style... just like these 16" ZR1 style wheels... I have also seem 18" style ZR1s on eBay.

Just my opinion, but it'd have to be a helluva deal to buy a set of 16" ZR1s. You're limited to a 255/50 tire because it's an 8" wide rim. Get the 17x9" ZR1s, and put 275/40s all around. Honestly, there's not much of a difference in price between 16s and 17s these days, I'd go for the 17s.

i'd say save up the money and buy some 17 inchers, and 17x11 rears. I think the salad shooters look better than the small zr-1s.

Thanks.. I dont think anyone asked though....Yea I dont need to save, I have the money. I never had a problem w/ 16's on 4th gens, I have a hard time justifying dropping a grand for 17's though. Rather put the money elsewhere.
