Default Retro/Vintage Wheels on 4th-Gen!!

Ok..So while there is nothing wrong with zr1's, z06 styles, or TT2s, It seems like alot of people have them. And for good reason, they look good!! BUT!!! I refuse to follow the main stream of opinions in picking a wheel style. I have yet to see a vintage\retro style wheel on a 4th-gen. Ive found several threads started looking for cars with wheels such as "rally" wheels. Now I know there are others like me out there that want to see some. So! IF you have pics of your 4th gen with a nice retro style wheel, post it up! And all you haters that think they look like crap, well nobody cares. Everybody has there own likes and dislikes. So with that being said, Ive just put a few links to some retro style wheels. Now im definitely not limiting it to just the few below, but want to some some options, and some people who arent afraid to be different.

Ive seen these on a few T\A's, but would be interesting to see on a Camaro.

These are on a fellow members car. I hope he doesn't mind. They are the only wheels that you posted that I would put on a 4th Gen. The rest don't fit in with our car's styling

those look very slick.. Thanks for posting. Like I said, its not limited to the ones I have posted. Just want to some some retro style wheels. I know theres some out there. Even something along the lines of the Halibrand Grand Sports... If only they had a dish...and wider wheel option..they would look amazing.

I've seen a V6 98-02 style camaro with rally wheels and it looked horrible! Thats a definite no go. lol But I think a properly done camaro could pull these two off...

And by properly done I mean it would have to be dropped, have to have some other retro styling hues going on and have at least bolt ons...

*Oh and i know the links dont work... just match them up with the links from the first post and the post above me... and then use those links. lol

^^I think if the conv. top was black the black lines on the wheels would have gone better with the car.

I know I'll get some heat for this but what about these?
Cool wheel but I don't think they would go good with a 4th gen.

IMO, the lines on a 4th gen don't blend well with a classic style wheel.

That silver 2nd Gen above looks GREAT though!

It'll be interesting to see what comes out for 5th gens.
