Arrow Corvette wheels?

Does anyone have any pictures of camaro's with the old C5 wagon wheels on them. I have a buddy who has a set of painted one's with new tires and he told me he would sell them to me up for 200 bucks. Just wondering what they would look like on the old beater, and if I would need any spacers?

Thanks merv, but the only reason the wheels look bad is because your car looks like ****. LOL. Thanks, I remember when you had those, but I couldn't remember what they looked like exactly.

They may not be the prettiest wheels ever, but they are nicer than the salad shooter's on the car now. I would really like to get a set of the 00-02 chrome z28 snowflake rims. Not the SS wheels, but the the z28 one's. I can't find them anywhere and the few I have found on Ebay were like 800 bucks with no tires. These corvette wheels have brand new tires, and they are in good shape. Just thought it might be something different.
