WOW.

I read you were gonna use those in another post and thought
"Those are gonna look horrible"
But i was wrong. They look great.

So all this time GM should have put fbody wheels on the vettes and vette wheels on the fbods. lol.

they look better than i had imagined however the tire gap out back needs a lil bit of adjustment which is free and easy on vettes..

Thanks! I was worried but the guy let me test fit them and they looked kick ass! I got a great deal. These are mint OE wheels, 2 sets of chrome lug nut covers, 2 sets of chrome center caps, SS valvestems, new lug nuts, and BFG Gforce TA tires with 11k on them.

Bring the back down only far enough to level it. Maybe a little but lower than level, and get a bit taller tire when the time comes to level it out (I LOVE that look.... lower in back, but bigger tire so the car sits level as a whole)

Or you could just SLAM it... you've seen my dad's black vette :)

Got these real cheap and I needed tires more than a clutch. Clutch is next!! The rims were a bonus!!!

IMO I would change the center cpas from SS to blank. I saw these on a C5 but they were using them as junk roller wheels

It worked out good for me. My ZR1s came from a guy with a '98 SS so he bought the wheels (OE Concepts) then put SLP SS Chrome ZR1 center caps on it. ;) Looks great and matches my SS emblems on the fender (black w/ silver outline)

But hey, if Camaro guys can put corvette flags on there ZR1s/Z06s, why can't he put SS emblems on his wheels? :jest:

I personally would not have any crossed flags on my camaro... :shame:

A lot of people do it, I had red bowties on the ZR1s on my '97 Z28 though.

Wow........don't take it the wrong way but I think I liked the sawblades better. The maro' wheels are just too edgy and sharp for such a sleek and curvy car.

Im glad Im not the only one. They look too "new" for a C4 IMO.

But if you like it, roll it bro.

The sawblades look like 80s rims to me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I love them and think they look 1000000000000000000000000000000x better.
Most people tend to agree, even the Vette forums its on, where i thought they would hate it..

I think the same thing, I think they look a lot better then the blades but you really don't see blades much nor do you see the chrome 10 spoke SS wheels. You did good man :peace2:
