Those are factory Camaro wheels, came stock from 1997-1999. My 1999 Z28 came with the chrome plated version, stock. I changed the black lug covers to chrome lug covers, looks a lot better. Even after 115k and 9 years, these suckers still look brand new.

I think he meant the first pic, of the salad cutters, and yes those were only on 93' cars. Looks way better, nice job.

I have those wheels as spares just sitting in storage, they most likely will be going back on my 97, they are a good looking wheel i think.

That's really weird as my 95' came with the 5 spokes from the factory. Maybe it was on the reg firebirds thru 95' but I thought they switched to the spokes in 95? I may be wrong.

Ehh I could go either way, but Im weird. I dont neccesarily dislike the design of either wheel, just too much sidewall for me.

I think most cars are just right with a 17 and a stock overall diameter tire (like 26 or 26.5" I think).

I also prefer the camaro salad shooters over the 5 spokes so Im just that weird.

My Z used to have them and they didnt bother me too much til I got the 17s and now I realize how much better the car looks with 17s. I get a ton of compliments.
