in my personal opinion!! 
Pics of C6 wheels!!!
Overall, I think the wheels look great but I can't believe how far a 10.5" wide wheel tucks in the rear. That's nuts! If they made these with a Camaro offset, I'd have to put them on my list of wheels to get for sure. Here's the pic I'm referring to:

No I got that money from the settlement when I got rearended by a drunk in my '69 camaro (LeMans blue, 350). You never saw that one, it was wrecked last June. Anywho, that was the pain and suffering money

I got 14 for the car, and then 1500 for pain and suffering. BTW the drunk guy that hit me is the assistant fire chief of Edmond, Arnie Postier. Pretty messed up huh? .16 was his BAL

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.

He's right, lower it and get you some 1/2" wheel spacers. It's what I had to do to get a better look with my "vette offset" wheels. BTW these are 18x9.5's with 265/35's.
Just make sure you get some ARP studs when you do it. Whenever my other studs get off backorder from TR I'll do the fronts too.
