Black car and thinking of going to black MRR winter rims to mix things up, I like the OEM style in black but kind of digging the black Z28 replicas. Last year I paid to have them swapped and balanced in the fall and the spring ($150 -180), a couple years of that will pay for the rims. Anyone been there or have an opinion?

Go different - Z28. They look great.

They're both good. Which one is cheaper? That's what I'd go with as I wouldn't be able to decide otherwise.

Ha! That's where I'm at, I like both and they're the exact same price. Leaning towards the Z28 just to have a different look.

When I looked at a winter set I'm only paying $100 to dismount/mount/balance so the few years I'll ahve the car the math won't work for a separate set. If I were to go with a spare set like this I wouldn't put MRR money out on them and instead go with a replica set for less money.

Look at apex. Little more money much better wheels.

I would get the cheapest set of black 18 or 19 inch wheels you can find. I never really saw the point in buying full size/width winter wheels and tires. Save the coin and spend it on track items for spring.

I went with factory ZL1 wheels for “winter” from a member on here.
Factory size and fitment. Still burning off the original Goodyear’s so I can put some all seasons on for the cold.

To address previous posts:
Tire swaps and balancing in my AOR run $140 - 180 (at a good shop) so that's non negotiable. I live on Cape Cod and we do get snow, sometimes a lot of it although it usually disappears in a few days so I just avoid using the car during those periods. As far as spending the money I tend to keep cars for the long haul so that's not a concern and I can always sell them off on Craigs or FB Marketplace.
If I wanted to plow through snow I would shoot for 18" - 19" for the tire options alone but I like the look and stance of the 1LE, the SS always looks like a stage coach to me. Right now I have the PS4S and will run those up until the temps get below the 40's (early Dec) and will run the RE980's until late March early April. It would be worth the money not to have to take the time to pull and drop the wheels or wait to have them swapped not to mention the hair loss worrying if they're going to be damaged.
From previous threads I realize MRR aren't top shelf but they are hub centric for the car and if they get dinged up over the winter I'm not going to cry about it.
Thanks for the feed back though. So back to the original question... Anyone have Z28 rims and pics on the car?

I meant to mention the wear and tear on tires and rims from seasonal mounting/dismounting over and over again.
I like to mount tires once, and only subject the rims to a tire machine when necessary.

That's what I did....got matte black "mesh" 19x9.5s from discount tire for under $200 a piece.

Link? The only Apex ones I found required 20mm spacers and longer lugs for the rear, I’m all set with that.

+1, I can confirm sixth gen 18" stock wheels from a LS/LT will fit the 1LE Brembos. I paid $500 with like new stock all season tires on them then Plastidipped them black. You can't beat the price either. They look surprisingly good for the winter.
