new wheels look great, but i kinda like the old vette wheels in your sig, no one has them, it gave your car a unique look, and they dont look too bad IMO

Unique doesn't equal good. The new wheels are a definite improvement. Those old vette wheels looked like crap even on the vettes they came on.

So are they the Evos? 18" it looks like...right?

there was an ls1 camaro on ebay once with wagon wheels and the guy was talking about how they were the "best looking wheel choice for a camaro hands down"

those 2 wheel styles are right up there as the worst gm has ever used. but i guess some people like them.
