Looks nice, I'd rather have a set of wheels that noone has then a set of Y2Ks that everyone and their neighbor has. You made a good choice, I like them how they are, just lower the car and then your done.

Why does your car sit lower on the passenger side?

Why would you want Y2K's? Don't you want to make your car unique? If he still had the Y2K's his car wouldn't be unique, it'd look like all the other GM cars that want to be a corvette 
Nice Choice, Don't listen to all the haters, they're just mad their cars are all the same.

I think you should paint the centers black. It will really accentuate the custom put-together-ness of the wheels and have a euro type lip on the wheel. Plus black wheels on polo green(?) seems to fit together well.

these rims are actually based off the Ferrari F50 rims from the early nineties, check out some pics and you will see, I got a email back from momo and they said these rims sold for 900$ a peice back in 1992, they were featured on some old porsches, are based off the F50 rim, and that they were not mass-produced.....

He had to have the inside of the rear wheels milled, kuz they would fit over the rotor hub thinger. So then we get them bolted up and realize the back is not lowering, right, well he has to go so Im on my own.... I quickly realized that they were stuck on the bumper stops.... so I take the rims off numerous times getting just enough cut off....
so im done with that bolt them up go for a drive to get air in the tires....
Grinding noise... yeah :help: .... you betcha, fronts are grinding, there is a small nub on the front spindles that are grinding, So i go at it with a mini saw and some sand paper.... got it good enough so that it doesnt grind....
so here are some pics while parked, the tires are low on air, some look almost flat.

Not my cup, but they look clean
While I am not really a fan of these rims (regardless of their production numbers, etc.) I do applaud you for taking a new route with your car: Y2Ks are over-played 
SO get your ride lowered first! Then debate the idea of painting the centers; and I would go black for the centers.
