I'm kinda leaning towards the 10 spoke for my Monte, and the ZR1's for the camaro...

But I think the 10 spoke would look good too...

you could always get them chromed or polish then so they are shiny

Hey Poppa Chubby, did you use wheel adapters or swap rear's? I have a vert just like that and I love those 10 spokes!

2" spacers on all 4 corners.
No rubbing.
245/40/17s for tires.
I want to put 275s on the rear next time so I fill up that gap a little better.

10 SPOKES!!

Everyone has or wants ZR1's. Be different and get the 10 spokes. They look sooo much better IMO.

Maybe when I win the lotto I will get me a set but until then I'm sticking with the stock IROCs.

10 Spoke SS

definitely the 10 spoke SS, I would have them polished though. I almost bought a set of these in chrome from SLP but I opted for the 17" polished IROC wheels instead because I did not want to use adapters.

10 Spokes! I just sold them to a guy and shipped them today! They looked bad *** on my car but i had to get rid of them. I found a killer deal on some 2002 Z06 wheels that i couldn't pass up. I got my adapters from Skulte.com Andris is a cool guy. I paid a little over $300 for them with shipping. I got the 2.5" though, they really do not stick out at all. I have the drag launch springs so the car does not sit as low, it looks like it came with stock 17's though. I am sure if i went will another set of springs they would look a lot better! good luck with your decision
