Default KMC GTX wheels?

Anybody seen these on an f-body? I've just been looking at different wheel setups, and saw these. I tried searching and didnt find anything!! You can get them in chrome, black with polished lip, or flat black with a red stripe on the lip. They come in 18x8, 18x10, 19x8, 19x10 and some 20" sizes. I've found the 18's for around 220-250 a wheel too so they're not overly expensive. Just thought i'd share.

I wasn't sure either, but i've seen a set on a BMW that looked good, they had a pretty good lip too.

KMC makes another 5 spoke wheel that I think would look sick on an f-body. Ill see if I can find a picture to post up. These are the other wheels I was looking at before I got the 505s

I like how the lip is smooth without and other ridges in it. I guess I would have to see them on a fbody to know if I would really like them on my car.

I really like the first set of wheels. I think they would look decent on the Fbody.

I've seen the second set on 2 camaro's before, they just didn't have enough lip for me. I really am liking the first set, and am thinking about getting some in 18x8 and 18x10 with some 305 dr's on the back. Once that damn tax return is here

I have been wondering about these for 2 years now. My only problem with them is that they come in 5x120mm and not 120.65. I know, I know, that there are people out there that think it's only .65 difference on the bolt patteren but to me it has to be proper. Just me though.
