well I didn't want to be rude, and they still look better than the lame *** stock wheels, ZR1s, or c5z wheels that everyone else runs on f-bodies for god knows why...

but I'd be looking for something else to go on

1) like half of people who replace stock wheels on these cars use those
2) the only stock corvette wheel I've ever thought looked good are on c6 vettes
3) I just plain don't like the flat face boring *** look, doesn't help the car pop
4) they're always black, I could count on 1 hand the number of cars I've seen that I like with black wheels, none of which are black stock wheels from anything
5) there are just too many choices out there I've seen that make 4th gen camaros look mean for a change, instead of like a glorified Chrysler Sebring
6) I prefer polished or brushed aluminum to anything else. period. chrome is too cheap looking and paint just doesn't look right to me

But those are just my opinions...but if I'm wasting money on looking good, I'm going to be doing it right, not slapping on some painted wheels from a corvette that's generations past looking sharp

Sometime I know there are reasons, like if they're a killer deal and you have a bent wheel anyway...a lot of people don't like the aluminum slots I run, but they look a million times better than the rusted chrome wheels that came with the car, they fit the period of my car, and I bought all 4 for $160

And they'll stay until I can afford some 17x11 and 17x9 that I can afford to put on the car that actually look good.

Looks good on that car, but I think they are too big. Do you have any rubbing issues?

I would really like to see the VHT on chrome rim though

if you like them then that's fine, I was just posting my opinion, but I personally think c5z wheels look worse than stock

bad enough not having any lip worth mentioning, but the spokes actually come out a bit too instead of being flat or tapering inward...me no likey

but its just my opinion and not my car so you can do whatever you want

Its nice to see someone try something different; it seems EVERYONE runs on ZR1's or some other variation of a corvette wheel. I run cragar SS 17/9's for a classic look and it seems no one else has them compared to all the vette wheels and TT2's I see. Those don't look bad on these cars imo, its just everytime you turn around thats all you see....

Now the wanna be gangsta stuff shown in the videos in this post....well that just goes to prove that the decline of western civilization is well underway and these asshats are leading the charge towards living in a cave again.... the more gangsta it appears, the lower the intelligence level of the owner.... I do appreciate the bright colors though, gives the rest of us something to aim at when their running off with our **** at 3am.....

Not much out there sadder than a white guy/girl TRYING to act/sound black.
