Default 98 Corvette rims on a Camaro? yay or nay

I can get a set of 98 Corvette rims and tires for $400...

How would these look on a Camaro?

There is a kid around here with a silver 00 Z with them. I think they are ugly myself. A friend of mine just bought a set of black ones for his black 93 Z... I don't know how that's going to look either

I don't think they are "eye" popping nor are they fugly. There just allright. If you would of saved up some more cash, you could of gotten better vette rims, like this below.

nay, rims really make our cars. Be careful with your selection, you'll have to live with it!

That's just a Z with a SS hood... nonetheless... that pic makes me think they're even uglier.

I think they look pretty good, but there are many other rims I would put on before those.. ex- ZR1's, Y2K Vette Rims, and ZO6's

Check out lmperformance, they have some wheel specials right now.
I think they look to bulky. Match the lt1 w/gfx car but I would put the
money towards something else. Personally, the c5 y2k are sweet but
so thin you need some really nice rotors like the baer's just to finish the deal,
paint the calipers and your 100 times better than stock. Now if you get
z06's or SS 10 spokes you don't really need to worry about the rotors.
my 2 cents

I have a set and they look really nice. The rears are kinda heavy, tho... I'm selling them to get some Welds...

They look alright. All that really matters is if YOU like the look. They're only 400, if you grow tired of them after awhile, chances are you'll probably get what you paid for them when you sell them.
