Hey Z28 venom how did you put those pics on here? everytime I tried to do that it said that the file was to large. BTW 02black, I wasn't too hot about them when I first saw the car and how it sat eighther. It's starting to grow on me though, I'm glad for that.

Everyone of course will mention lowering it, and I also agree with that but to me the main thing it needs is some wheel spacers in the back. Those rear wheels tuck in too far IMO. The wheels look to be the stock vette offset which is not right for our cars as they tuck in too much. Bringing the wheels out a bit will look much better from the rear and angle views.
As far as the overall look, I am undecided. Contrary to what someone else said, I definitely think they look better on the actual C6. Overall, in terms of aftermarket wheels Id give the look a C+. If its lowered and you use some wheel spacers on the rear it would probably be upgraded to a B+
Just my measely 2 cents.

I think it looks better then any wheel GM puts on stock camaro's.
I myself thing the Z06 wheel looks better for the same money, but this is a nice option.
At least your different for now.
Add some nice rotor's and drop it and everyone will love the look.
Your on the right track.

yes allow me to re-quote myself:

The wheels look great!
I would advise against the hocky stripe though.
I should be getting my car back tomorrow, Had to upgrade the fuel system. It did 494 RWHP with a 1.9 correction factor and shutting it down at 5500 due to low fuel pressure and running lean. Also found out my ported throttle body was for a 98/99 and was only getting approx 3/4 throttle.
I expected this kind of power with everything dialed in, Extreme Performance will try to finish the dyno tune tomorrow morning.
One of these days we will get together and terrorize 39th.

I cant decide, the more I look at it, the better they look. They are different, certainly better than stock rims. The look of the wheels overall will look better with out the pinstripe, while looking at the wheels, that pinstripe just STANDS out. Just MO. Congrats though

Even still I think they will look great with the car lowered a little and wheel spacers on the back. Black cars with chrome wheels is a great combination and will be pretty forgiving of faults like stated above. I bet those wheels chop real nicely too.
