i'm sure someone makes em where they fit on our cars...i guess i'm not sure. i was just going to see if anyone has done the unthinkable and put em on their f-bod. I guess these would show a lot of caliper and mine are stock so it wouldn't look so hot.

You would be better off putting the C6 wheels on your car.

yea i'm leaning towards the c6 zo6's cuz someone showed me some pics on their pewter camaro. they looked pretty good on his but i need to see them with the stock body kit and no one really has it. I'm still not sure on what size to go with...18's, 18/19, 17/18...ehh

wouldnt do it unless u like breaking studs. the factory studs are short enough as is. u would need longer ones. and by that point u might as well get a rim that fits.

I don't know, kinda reminds me of a thinner spoked version of those bigger iroc wheels.. doesn't look horrible, just looks better on a mustang.

I have them on mine. Of all the compliments I get I get the most on these rims. They're tripple chromed and I like them alot because they're not on many trans ams. they make our bolt pattern and fit fine.
