No unfortunately. I'd like to put them on my car for a good laugh if I had the opportunity.
I agree.
If I ever find a set for sale cheap enough, I'll but them no matter the size and put them on something. Hell, I'd buy a beater just to be able to bolt on a set of teddy bear wheels. Ronal USA went out of business last year and these wheels have been discontinued for years so I'm not holding my breathe.

Lol good call, You have a TA not a Corvette, Y limit your choices to Corvette rims?? How original, Y don't you go with some hre's or ccw's or something else, Don't be like everyone else,I personally wld never let any stock rim off of a car that isin't even the same manufacturer as the car I own touch my car. Save up some money and get something else.

I have to agree that worrying about who has what is stupid. Also, asking for opinions on this forum is stupid too. It's impossible to get true good advice here. I'll save you the time and just list exactly the advice you'll get on any aspect of your car on this site.
Internal engine: You need the biggest cam this earth has ever seen and AFR heads. Everything else sucks
External engine: You need Kooks or ARH headers with x-pipe true duals, and don't ever port your MAF or TB. Everything else sucks.
PCM & Tuning: You need to get EFI Live. Everything else sucks.
Suspension: You need Konis and Strano everything else. Otherwise your car won't really "handle".
Wheels: You need 19x9.5/19x11 iForged wheels. Everything else is overplayed.
Appearance and detailing: You need a Porter Cable PC7424. Everything else sucks.
That is the disadvantage to this site. There is very little originality left here. Everyone just goes with the crowd on mods and anyone who tries anything truly original is ridiculed for doing so.
I personally seek out the threads that show originality. Some of the greatest ideas that came out of this site have come from guys like 6LE, McNord, and that guy with the bright green and bright orange LT1s (can't remember his name)...and they were largely ridiculed or scoffed at when they revealed their ideas. I don't like all of their stuff, but they were/are innovators and I commend them for that.

Second...in response to the quote above..Damn straight.. 1000% agreed. There is good advice here...but some is NOT gospel like some would lead you to believe.
ESPECIALLY when it comes down to personal preference like choosing wheels. This world would get pretty damn boring if we all did the same thing.Third in response to the OP. Pretty much all those wheels look good. "Played out" can be interpreted different ways. Probably overdone if you drive to a Super Chevy show or an LS1tech get together..but in most small towns your lucky to see an FBody with the same wheels.
Even when I see any of the above wheels I think they look far and above stock TA wheels
Fourth.. Spending a fortune on wheels isnt feasible to some..including me. If I save up that kind of money .. wheels are the last thing on my mind. Making the damn thing faster is the first thing on my mind. Cam/heads/headers/exhaust etc etc. If you have ran out of **** to do and have money to throw at things... Then maybe 4k on wheels would be feasible
End rant
