I like the wheels but I think the profile is too flat for an F-body...the whole car has round curves and the wheel is flat...just my opinion.

Current wheels ***! Although I don't like Corvette wheels on fbodies, there are a few cars that pull it off, your being one of them. Save for the ZR1's, all the other Vette wheels don't flow with the car, our cars need a softer wheel or a rolled / stepped lip to make a wheel with straight flat spokes work. Yours look good though!

I'm looking for the same thing. I just found those rims on ebay, and I think they would look badass on my BGM Camaro.

I think they'd look good, but it all comes down to which do you prefer, which do you think looks better.

I like those alot, in fact I wished they'd look good on my car.

I say that's a definite UPgrade from the C5 Z06's...your car would look different from the other 12million Z's with the C5's.
