I really think it looks lame, but to each their own.

on my car, i took the time/effort to eliminate the corvette logo from all corvette parts that ive used (IE FRCs and wheels).

Gilbert, you know you like the C5 wheels on my car.

Because the camaro was intended to be a more affordable less sporty version of the vette when GM first introduced it in 1966 at the detroit auto show and a competitor for the mustang.......and all the engines and alot of the stuff originally on the corvettes ends up in the camaro anyways, like the LS-1.....im not saying the camaro is close to the corvette im just saying, its paying respect to your dad(vette)

and most of us here got our last name from our dad right?

I have mixed feelings about it. I think for your savvy minded f body owner, they put the flags on there to rep GM performance in general. And you have to admit, the cross flags do that probably better than any GM symbol made. Soon as you see it, you know it's GM. It's universal. I don't think owners that do it, look at it as a strictly vette thing though. Regardless, I wouldn't put it on my m a r o.

Here in Santa Ana I see tahoes and subs all the time with the cross flags, and I think those are the ones that **** me off the most, cuz they're just frontin. They're not about power, just 26'' rims and air bags.

Oh and for what it's worth, C5 ZO6 rims look nothin less than pimp on f bods **** they even came on some of the '02 ZL1 limited production supercars, so it's not like they're "out of place" on a camaro.

In that case I'll start sporting around a Mercedes AMG emblem since that'll look good on my car too..

Does he still come around or bring his car out? I heard daddy slapped him on the wrist and now he doesn't bring it out.

dont get me wrong gilbert, tt2's are nice, but i can name more cars off the top of my head with those wheels then vette wheels, like for example my neighbors 66 mustang, or my friends 72 bus or my 74 camaro or.... list goes on and on, i think tt2;s are nice when they are unique but they are the most played out wheel this century.
