I'm a traditionalist, so it's an automatic "no" from me. However, I would -- at the very least -- remove the Pontiac center caps and replace with something either blank or Chevrolet related.

Ya I would definitely create an adhesive to put over the center caps... most likely a chevy emblem.

I'm trying to replace my horrid looking stock split 5 spoke wheels... zr1's and 10 spoke ss wheels are hard to come by now a days

It surprisingly looks pretty good. IMO better than alot of the other cheaper alternative wheels for the F-cars. Its a standardized size center cap, so you should beable to find the correct size with a bowtie logo. Take a trip to the boneyard and start poking around to compare sizes. GM in the early 2000's up to now had a lot of nice machined aluminum and polished appearence caps with a 3 dimensional embossed bowtie logos.

I've never been a fan of the stock split 5 spoke wheels, these look a lot better!

Those don't look bad, a hell of a lot better than the stock z28 wheels.

I think the older style ws6 wheel would look even better though.

So I picked up the wheels... stock split spokes were killin' me.
Just have to make up some stickers to cover the pontiac center caps... or replace the center caps.

Looks good!
You could also just paint the center caps.

X2. I don't know why GM thought the stock Z28 wheel looked good on their muscle car.

I agree 100%.

Overall, I wasn't a huge fan of the Speedlines when they first came out on the '95 Firehawk and Comp T/A (I think '93/'94 Firehawk wheels looked better), and still wasn't a fan when they were re-released on the '01 WS6 cars. They aren't horrible or anything, but the '96-'00 WS6 wheel was much better looking IMO. Neither belongs on a Camaro though.

I do agree that the '00-'02 Z28 wheel was awful. The '97-'99 version was much, MUCH better looking, but a bit small at only 16x8".

Looks good actually but just change the center caps to a red bowtie and your set

Looks good, add some spacers to the back wheels and it'll look even better!
