Seriously. Who cares what cars the design was OEM on? It is a classic Mag design that was used on many different cars. Granted, they were usually 14/15" wheels, but there is now an aftermarket for larger versions to accomodate larger brakes and for overall style.
The point is, you can like 'em, hate 'em, or be totally indifferent. I just wanted to see if anyone had installed these on an f-body yet, as they are a new model (came out in January 07), and come with the exact same fitment as the TTIIs (and are advertised on AR's site for f-bodies).
I like the old Mag and Rally style wheels, and this is the first one I thought may actually work on my car.
Please stop trying to argue with the owner of this site (thanks for your input, BTW, Nineball - I'd like to know what you think of the photoshops), and either comment on the wheels in question or post up pictures of them actually mounted on something.

Back on topic...
I think the photoshops look better than I figured. Put a white hockey stripe on that black Camaro, run the retro wheels on a lowered stance and I think it would definitely look nice. The only complaint I have about these particular wheels is that they hide any nice braking hardware you might have. But, if you are just running stock brakes they would be just fine.

interesting approach, calling the site admin a dick 
anyway i think they actually look pretty good. would love to see the real thing on a black car (or any 4th gen really).
nice find, something different for sure.

Now for the topic at hand, when you showed just the picture of the wheel, I thought hell no, but the photoshop is good, i like them. If you did go with them, Im sure youll be the only one that has them, at least for a little while.

I'm glad I did those photoshops. Everyone on here thought I was crazy for even suggesting these without them. Thanks for the suggestions and feedback.
I'd really like to see this wheel in person, or at least more angles. I won't be buying anytime soon, though. Putting on my headers next Sat., then my next mod will probably not be for another year or so (gotta pay off the car).
I'll see if I can whip up an example of them on a black TA.

Well, I couldn't find a good shot of a black TA to use (very shocking, I know), so I did this one. Sorry if it doesn't look as good as it should - I'm pretty tired right now.

Thats just funny, I guess that tag under Nine Ball that says ADMINISTRATOR, doesnt mean anything.
BTW the Chevelle is just BEAUTIFUL.
