New Wheels on Third Gen Camaro

Hey everybody i just put some new wheels on my 89' Camaro a few months ago. They are American Racing Wheels Longboards, they are 17x8s, i originally wanted 9.5s in back but i had to have them custom made and thats a lot of dough, i was gonna get the torque thrust II's, but i see too many cars with those, so i got these instead, Just wanted to see what every1 thinks

I like them. One question though, where are you when you are taking the pictures, in a tree? I should be one to talk since i can not even get pictures of my car uploaded, but your pics are kinda far away. Should look real good when you get the springs in. good luck

i'm kinda undecided. they kind of look like Z06 rims. the only Z06's i've seen that look good on a thirdgen is kandied's. but those look pretty good on your car.

well yeah the pictures kinda suck, when i took them they were full size photos, but then i had to cut the size of them more than in half to make them fit for the post, i think the attachment size should be bigger , i'll try and take some better pics and post them
maybe on not such a sunny day, i need to go somewhere with a lot of shade or on a cloudy day
