Edelbrock Wheels...What do you think of them?

I just love those Edelbrock wheels, especially the 409 series. Does anyone have them on their car, or has anyone seen a camaro with them. I am a little unsure how they will look on a thirdgen.

i've always thought the 409's would look hot on a thirdgen, the thing that holds me back from buying them myself, is the sizing, i would really prefer to go to a 17x9.

I think the 409 would look slick indeed. If you have a pic of your car I'd do a Photochop for ya. Here's a 409:

Those wheels are awesome. That car in 'Car Craft' is pretty sick. I have that issue sitting on my desk in my room. I look at it every night.

They're sittin on my 86 right now as we speek. My bro used to work for a tire place and got them for me at discount price. I love em. People come up to my and ask me what kind they are and they love the center caps. Very good rim, kinda pricy, but very good none the less.
