I don't really like when people do this usually. Too much of an identity crisis IMO. Reason I say that is that it confuses your brain at first when you glance at a car and say "oh, that's a nice Camaro", and then you walk around the front or back of it and go "...... oh.... "

GTAs are a lil more compatible than IROCs and such though, but..

Personally if those rims aren't dinged/scratched up I'd polish those, else get some replacements and polish them... those rims look really good polished but it hasn't been done much .

well, that would be a huge project to do that, those dark marks on the wheels is rust... those are beat to crap, i was planning on using those during the winter, since that car is my daily driver.
