Default Anyone have these wheels?

I actually really like them, and the price is right. Only downfall is that they're only 8.5" wide.

What do you think?

Rivets don't look so great... other than that they aren't bad. I've only come to learn the deal with fake rivets on Z06 motorsports.

BIG FAKE RIVETS. Yuck. I don't mind wheels with fake rivets, but those are HUGE.

That bad, huh? I was just looking for something different.

I was looking for HP Evo's, that's how I found these. The rivets don't seem any worse than the ones on the Evo's.

You guys not big fans of the Evo's, either?

The link you provided shows a rim with 5 x 120mm bolt pattern. That is .65mm off for your f-body--a bigger down fall?

I don't know, I've moved past them already, but I still don't think they'd look bad. I like them way more than a few of the more common wheels that most people run.

Man, picking wheels is a bitch!

I've been doing research, and I've found that alot of wheels that are run on these cars are 5x120mm. That's the pattern on the HP Evo wheel, which is quite popular on this forum. Apparently the .65mm doesn't make a difference.

You're probably right, .65mm isn't much. But, since you'll be making quite an investment on your wheels and tires, the very thing that keeps you on the road (and alive), you will want to consider getting something that perfectly fits your vehicle for whatever the application.
