Thanks guys.

This is now a moot point though. I couldn't tal myself or let anyone alk me into the ruffs. No one likes the speedys. So I think i've settled on a set of HPR5s in chrome.

I'd go with the Speedy's.

I don't like the split spoke on a Camaro.. it belongs on a T/A. A Z28 is more of a muscle car than a T/A, and the Speedy is a more muscular wheel. Split spokes are "sexy".

Besides, why do you want to look like every other F-Body with Ruff 278's? If you're going Ruff get the 280's.

i Don't like the 280s at all. I've decided against both these wheels. I couldn't talk myself into the ruff's and I couldn't find enough pictures of the Speedy's to make my decision.

Now I'm debating if I want wheels at all because the ones I'm considering are twice as much as both of these choices.
