Blue w/ white stripe will look killer. Z06 wheels will not. Take advantage of the DEEP lip that these old cars can take, don't get a flat looking lip-less wheel.

So, are you going to need 2" thick spacers to run those wheels? Hope not, that wouldn't be very safe. To do it properly the axle needs to be widened and longer A-arms would be used.

these should be the same dimensions used on 4gens, I have seen plenty of 4gen 10 spoke SS rims and C5 Z06 rims on 2Gens.....I hope I'll be fine, the guy who sells rims on nastyz28 owns a 2Gen and assures me these will fit safely.

Should be nice. I'd like to see it run when you get it together. I have always wanted an older car to race but love my TA too much. Good luck with it!

That guy has the HUGE spacers I mentioned. It looks really strange when you put these on, makes the brakes at the back of the wheel. This is just an unsafe way to do things. Those spacers are also expensive, about $300 a set. You can see the spacers in these pics:
