Default What do you guys think??

So today I went to a junkyard to get a new t-top for my car, when I came across a T/A. It had a stock set of 16 inch chrome wheels. As I was talking to a guy I know about buying the t-tops, he said he would sell me all four wheels for $80.

I have a 99 Z/28 with the stock wheels and since I don't have a very high income I had them powder coated black. They work just fine for me..

Anyway long story short I went ahead and bought the wheels because $80 is a good deal! (He even threw in some free tires.)

I'm still pretty new to LS1 world, and I always see people putting Corvette wheels on their f-bodies, sooo why not put T/A wheels on a Camaro??

Let me know what you guys think?? Personally I like the way they look on my car. It's something different.

By the way... This is my first thread.

Not something I would do but hey, it's your car. I think your stock 5 stars in black looked better. Trans-am guys can sometimes get away with camaro wheels but we can't quite pull it off. If you like it though, thats all that matters.

I used to have Firebird wheels on my 94. I think they looked a lot better than Salad Shooters.

Although I dont think it looks "that good". If the wheels are in good shape, $80 was a steal. Stock chrome wheels sell for a few hundred if they're clean.
