Formula rims on a Camaro?

Yes I have searched but I came up with nothing Anyways been looking for a set of winter rims/tires, and have come across a set of really nice turbocast formula's in the junkyard, and I wondered if anyone had any pics of them on a camaro im just curious as to what it would look like

i would avoid driving it during an Indiana winter....the last thing you will be worried about are your wheels. keep an eye out for underbody rust.

have fun getting around with the 350TPI in the winter!!! i wish u luck lol

I agree about the underbody rust, its the same in illinois.. THEY SUCK!
FOR WINTER:
Underbody rust= !!! but the spinning and all that the best!!!!

i feel you man, im in the same situation. parents dont want me to get a beater cause there would be "too many cars in the driveway" yeah yeah whatever. luckily i fix my dads POS jeep whenever it breaks so he lets me drive it. as soon as i get my 383 im outta here though

THAT SUCKS!! My parents says i got to much cars but hey it aint stopping me they even threatened to kick me out five cars ago hahaha Sorry guys, hope it goes all well with both of your plans..
92rs, put sand in a garbage bag and throw let say around 3 bags in the trunk, it helps quite alot and wash under the car at times at those POS carwash it helps Tons, just throwing thoughts..

Ouch, those rims look rough. Why not go with black Corvette Ralley rims? I know a lot of people dont like them, but for winter rims, I think they'd be good enough if you can find them at a good price. Just paint them black and you're on your way.
