Default Needs some input on this one!

Alright, well, here it is. About a year ago my car was sporting some nice 17" 10 spoke SS rims off an 02 SS. Unfortunately I got into an accident and bent 2 of my rims. I could not for the life of me find any replacements in a short time spand and ended shelling out 300 dollars for 4 '99 C5 chrome wheels. Although these are nice, I'm thinking about finally getting 2 more of the 10 spokes, and putting them back on my car. My question is, do you think that the 10 spokes look better on my 98 mtm camaro than the C5 wheels?

Here's an example of both.

Before-



After -


one more



What do you think? Keep 'em or go back to the SS's? I can't find them for under 200 a wheels so that's why i'm on the fence with this one. Do the C5s really look that much worse? I mean come on, I bought them for 300 dollars with brand new tires on them there must be a reason no one wants the ******* things.

haha well it looks to me like the wagon wheels got owned pretty bad on that one. Why are these rims so expensive to get for me... is it because they are chrome?

I actually like the 5 spokes, stockers in the winter, c5 5 spokes painted black in the summer. Im just sure why everyone thinks they are soooo bad
