I think they look good. Not great, but very good. They look worlds better than the stock Z28 rims (assuming that's what you upgraded from). I like the stealthy clean look you've got going with the !badges. Get yourself some clear corners and lowering springs and that thing will be looking very nice. You'd definitely get a thumbs up from me if I saw you rolling down the street.

I like the wheels too. BUt I agree that the whole car and the wheels would come together much better when you get it lowered. And ya, the clear corners look great on pewter/silver cars. good work man. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Looking good! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

clear corners just tend to blend better with the pewter and they match the headlights more.. the yellow is just out-of-place up there..

Agan, nice choice of wheels..

I don't think that they are that different than Z06 wheels.
