Those look great I have a feeling the 1LE wheels for the Gen 6 will be like the ZL1/1LE wheels were for the 5th everyone will want a set including myself.

hmmm...yes, they are alot more noticeable with the 1LE wheels. I always liked red calipers on any sports car, but the lack of them is not as noticeable with the ZL1 wheels.

I was definitely curious how this would fit/look.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! I think the 1LE wheels just look cleaner, less busy and the red 1LE calipers would be a great option as well.

They aren't bad, I just prefer the stock ZL1 wheels better.

1LE wheels are the nicest looking wheels I've ever owned (IMO). Nicer than my CCW 505a's. On the ZL1 they work perfect. AWESOME!

In my opinion, the 1LE wheel looks looks and works perfect on the ZL1. The stock ZL1 wheel is a beautiful wheel and the paint looks like liquid metal. But, it is a beautiful wheel that does not go with the " Eat you Alive " aggressive look of the front facia. I have met the designer of the ZL1 wheel and he is a really nice guy. But, I'm pretty sure he did not have to try to clean his wheel after a day at the track. The more robust look of the 1LE wheel fits the true nature of the ZL1 and the 1LE as well. Plus it has to be much easier to clean. I do agree with the others that a different color caliper would also be nice to have.
