That's a pretty damn nice "beater" you got there. Worthy of those wheels if you ask me.

Looks good.

Personally, I've never cared for c5z wheels on anything. They look down right horrible on Trans Ams due to them being so squared off compared to the smooth body lines. They look more like a wheel designed for a c4.

Thanks for the compliments everybody

and this is EXACTLY how i felt about the c5 wheels. Bought them without thinking just to dump the stock 16" chromies. The square design doesn't flow well at all I realized , esp with the ws6 hood.

Car looks great! The wheels are killer too. If it were me I would get the front wheels a little spacer to bring them out a tad more flush.

Thanks, i had hubcentric spacers ( adaptors) i used on my z06 wheels but for some reason they don't fit onto these HREs? The hub slides all over and doesn't fit snug. not sure why
