Benner Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well I got an offer for my polished ZR-1 that I couldn't pass up yesterday and I decided to go for it. Traded my Zr-1's and my LS1 Intake for a set of 98 C5 black powder coated wheels and an LS6 Intake. At first I didn't think the wheels would look as good but now I think it looks better than it did before. It offsets my NBM color nicely. Now all I need to do is Shade my tail lights and side markers, and paint my calipers. So tell me what you think. Sorry for the pic quality. It was raining and the rims are a little dirty from the drive home http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/11-15-08NewRims5.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/11-15-08NewRims35.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/11-15-08NewRims25.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 What did it look like? I hava never been a fan of dark rims, but to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Liked the ZR1s better. Did you give up on selling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Liked the ZR1s better. Did you give up on selling it? Yeah I took it out for a drive the other day and came to the conclusion that it's just too much fun to sell. What did it look like? I hava never been a fan of dark rims, but to each their own. The big benefit is these are much easier to clean. Plus the ZR-1's had alot of curb rash from the previous owner. And of course I got an LS6 intake out of the deal http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj32/Formula98/new4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am not a big fan of the wagon wheels, never have been. The black works, the wheel type doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 LOL if I'd had the money to powdercoat the Zr1's I would've Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 If you look around enough, you can find them inexpensively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I may. It'll be a little while though before I can afford it. I mainly did the swap because I got the LS6 intake out of it. It sucks because it was raining all day and I couldn't take the car out for a hard run after I finished up.

zeitgeist57 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 ZR-1's looked better. Those dark rims have the wrong offset... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 is it just me or does the front wheel look funny in the last picture? wagon wheels FTL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I thought that too when I saw the picture. I went back outside and checked it. It's just the way the steering wheel is turned a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know alot of people probally won't like them as much but the other wheel had curb rash pretty bad and I was really wanting an LS6 intake so it was a pretty even trade from my point of view.

MrMeanGreen Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wanna trade intakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 If you're happy with the trade then awesome, but IMO the chrome ZR1's looked a million times better. Those rims looked so perfect on your car! I don't like C5 wagon wheels at all, nor am I a fan of black rims on NBM. Maybe with dark window tint and taillight covers they will look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Maybe they are just dirty, but flat black wheels don't work on anything....ever. Congrats on the intake though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wagon wheels look better on an F-body than a C5, but never look good in black. I have a set of chrome ones on my Formula, and they look pretty good. If you decide you can't look at these wheels any more, I have a set of 17x9.5" Konig Flights that I will sell for a decent price.

Benner Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wanna trade intakes? Actually I think this intakes probably about the perfect size for the power I'm making right now but what do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I loved the other wheels. I remember thinking they made the car when I looked at your for sale ad. Not my car though, so it doesn't matter what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
