Default What does everyone think of these wheels

I am desperate for new wheels, but being in The UK Shipping on such a large item is huge, found these on ebay uk, will they fit? and do they look any good on a Red z28? if not, can chrome wheels be re painted, silver or black?

If they are stock sized wheels you might need a spacer in the back, just a 1/4 in. or so if running 295's, front would fit fine. But they wouldnt be easy paint because of the rivets...Theyre called motorsports.

Yea, would go with the red real nice. I dont like the spoke wheels on a camaro, they look much better on a TA or a vette.

I dislike them on F bodies. Just they seem too modernly styled for the older F bodies.

Much akin to seeing IS F lexus wheels on like a 1990 LS400. Just doesn't seem quite right,
