ahhh, black on black... always a nice combo... The only way that car would be better is if were yellow with black rims

But I am biased

I don't particularily think they're a bad wheel for a thirdgen, if fully polished. Kinda small though....15x8" if I remember correctly. Had some for my 2nd gen.

I though the 80s were pretty ok, except for the music. Long stretch when there wasn't one actual musical instrument on most songs back then. Late 80s factory wheels on the Camaros were decent I think.

Thanks a lot.
Just got them the other day after waiting over a month.
I had been wanting them forever to match the car.
They are II's with a gray powdercoated center.
I'll snap some more pictures later.

nah, the D's have a different pattern, duller lip, not polished and aren't quite as flashy as the II's.

i'll take some close up's later.
thanks for the compliments guys.
