Default Y2k's

It VERY obvious that I need new rims. My current ones look like





Ive done alot of searching and I really like the y2k chromes. I found a bunch of pics but none of my car color. Does anyone have any pics of y2k's on a blue green chameleon? Chrome preferably but anything will do. Also if anyones got any hi-res shots please send to me and I will do some photoshops. Thanks guys.

You're damn right about needing new rims cuz those look like crap(no offense)! I had the Y2K's on my previous LT1 Z28 n they looked great. I've seen them on TA's now and I think they don't look good. Here's a pic of the LT1 and u can check out my BGC TA on my fquick. I love my car's color!

Pics are scanned so not very good quality.

I agree, I don't think they look that great on 'Birds either. I think the spokes are too thin.

Nice Formy, btw. I'm trying to decide what wheels to put on mine.

Do you remember the name of the company you got them from? Ive been searching through aftermarket y2k's but havent found anything different than the OEM specs of 17x8.5 and 18x9.5. If one of you guys could help me out and take some side shots zoomed in on just your front and back wheels I'd appreciate

Roornz28 - I juest found a bunch of nice wheel shots in you car domain. DO you have any of those pics in a higher resolution? The pics I would be using of my car are in 7 megapixels, so hopefully when I paste the wheel in its not incredibly small lol.
