My Pewter Z28 with the "Hyperblack" version. They weren't from OEM. They were from AFS, but I think AFS is just a distributor.
I did the staggered set with 18x10.5 rears. I did a little massaging and thought I would be able to get away without a spacer in the back (I don't know why I just don't like spacers) but they were tight enough I always felt nervous about heavy banking and noticed when I put new hides on em that i could see some minor rub-age in the wheelwells most likely when the suspension was compressed. Probably during a heavy launch or some of the crazy neg G's you find on some of these fun old highways.
I ended up breaking one of the 10.5 rims (gotta love road construction) and decided to replace the 10.5's with a pair of 9.5's instead. I did consider the 19x10's since the 19's have 68mm offset instead of 56mm which would throw an extra 1/2" of slack in there but I decided I liked the idea of having 18's all around as opposed to having a 18/19 set.
All in all I really like the black chrome with the Pewter. I always felt the chromes were a little too bright for my taste and the black chrome seemed to darken the overall look of my car without having to do a bunch of tinting, smoked lenses, etc. Anyway, just thought I'd chime in with a pic of a camaro with a lighter paint job in case your ride wasn't black. Good Luck.

I don't have any pics now but I got the same wheels on my SS and you don't need spacer for the front, just the rears and I think I used 1" only, cuz the stock offset of F-bodys is around 50mm so 79mm - 25mm (1") = 54mm
I got my spacer from Egay for around $60 shipped !!!
Good Luck...
