Gunmetal Zr1's

[wantingasy]

I've tried searching for these wheels on someone's truck, but nothing!!! I found one thread talking about these with one photoshop of a SY with these wheels, but it wasn't a very good picture. I'm seriously thinking about buying these, but would like to see them on a blk/blk TY before I make the purchase.

I will (someday :roll: ) put those wheels on my truck and to come to that conclusion I slogged through the registry and looked at every single truck and found one with the wheels on it that had "the" look. Its been eons since I looked at all those pics and I cant tell you if the pic is still there but none the less spend some time looking through the registry/owners gallery and youll find it.

The pic was shot frome the drivers side rear 3/4 view with the truck sitting in a nicely manicured lawn. It was a sy but it was THE best pic Ive seen of the gray ZRs to date. IIRC the truck/pic was from FL so that may help you narrow it down some. Just be aware I spent several hours slogging through the pics until I found the one that was just right and sealed the fate of me having the gun metal zr 1s......well dreaming of having them anyways.

Ebay is where I first saw them. I was thinking about getting the black ones, but I see a lot of them on people typhoons. Now I'm thinking either chrome or the gunmetal. Most likely I'll end up with the gunmetal and post a lot of pics for future buyers!!! :tup:

Re: Gunmetal Zr1's

I am new to the sy/ty world having just purchased a 93 ty on ebay. I am looking to buy tires and wheels and need to know what sizes fit front and rear. Can I use the 17X11 on the rear or do I need to use 17X9.5 all the way around. Thanks for your help.

Re: Gunmetal Zr1's

You can use 17x11 on the rear and 17x9.5 on the front. That's what I'm about to get :tup: Use 275/40/17 tires for front and 315/35/17 for the back. Oh yeah, the offset on the wheels are : 17x11= 50mm 17x9.5=56mm........I think that's all

dont you need all the same tires front and back 40 series front 40 series back ect.
if you where going to do a 17 front you could use 40 series and 18 in the back you could do 35 series but same size rim need same size tire it will mess up the X-fer for the AWD

See that thread. The 9.5/11 combo changes things.

Re: Gunmetal Zr1's

Sorry to jack the thead (damn I hate it when that happens) but what do you guys think about Gunmetal on a Teal Ty? Or Crome / Mirror Polish? Any one seen a Teal / Teal with these? Back to the regular thread!

Re: Gunmetal Zr1's

Kick-a** rims!!! That truck looks awesome! I've been eye-ballin' those gunmetals on e-bay for at least 8 months now, but I just can't let go of $400, which is nothing for such an awesome set of rims. I've felt like the ZR-1's are probably the only other rim that looks like it could have come standard on these trucks. And I thought I liked the black ZR-1's until I saw those and now seeing them on a Sy really makes me want to spend money. Nice truck. :tup:
