Hey, I had these on my T/A and I did not need any spacers, they are the ones that I sold to Jesse (TA5LS150) !!!

Looks like you have chrome ten spokes on there now?

I don't know why you'd want to change, personally I think C5 Z's are ugly, and are a step down from the ten spokes.

Just my .02 though.

chrome isn't really my thing, i've laways loved the C5 Z06's and for a time since i couldn't find the alcoa or speedline for an awesome price i was gonna have mine stripped and then painted gunmetal gray . . . . also having 295 rims in back is gonna be sexy as hell! respect you opinion bud

I don't think the grey wheels will fit your theme. But as long as you like them

these are real z06 rims though, i like the staggered look more plus these rims are light as **** lol i actually think this will look better on my car than the chrome 10 spokes because i really don't have much chrome

Yea it's going to look way better!!!! I'm not a fan of the 10 spokes. The Z06 rims look awesome on camaros. That's what I would have went with if my car didn't have rims already.
