When I first saw the ebay link I was like "oh god those will look terrible".

Then I scrolled down and saw the pic and they actually look pretty good. Much better than salad shooters and snowflakes.

+1, though the rear wheels are on the wrong sides.

It doesn't matter if the rim is on backwards or forwards. All the matters is the treading has to be the same

I'd mount some DR's on them. A lot of autocross guys run them, you can find the ZR1 saw blades in 17x11.

I think they look better reversed up front on the camaro. While I don't care too much if someone wants to reverse a wheel, at least be consistant, and reverse all 4 or leave them all normal.

The wheels that year were designed to cool the brakes, they need to be faced to pull air from the outside in... Preferebly the fronts are right, cooler air is higher from the concrete...

That's what threw me off - GM didn't mount them that way - follow the link. Technically, the other direction could be just as effective, if it creates a vacuum, but I don't know enough about the wheel design/spoke angle to figure out if it would, and at what speeds.

structurally it probably dosent make a differance,, but when you stop at a redlight and people who know point and laugh,,, id rather just put them on right.

also,, im gonna have to disagree with the "they were designed to cool the brakes",,,, with the amount and velocity of airflow passing from front to rear, and no portion of the "blades" having a leading edge that actually comes in direct contact with that airflow,, it would be impossible to create any type of suction or cooling airflow.
