2nd/3rd gen question - wheels

I'm looking to put a set of '79 2nd gen firebird wheels on my Z28 (it's being sold and I want to keep the alloys I've got)... I know they should fit may not look 100% but what else should I look out for... BTW the reason for looking at these wheels it they are CHEAP!!

I think they should work. The only thing I'm not sure of, is if you have a disk rear, if the wheel offset will fit. Ive had 3rd gen wheels on a second gen Camaro. The standard 15 inch wheels were fine, when I went with the IROC wheels on a 2nd gen, I had to use all fronts on front and rear.

iroc fan - where you getting the 2nd gen wheels from? i'm looking to get one but the kid wants the iroc's that are on it so i gotta get something else.

97-1le - do u have any pictures of the car with all 4 front wheels of it? the 2nd gen has rears on rears, fronts on fronts and they don't look right. i would really appreciate any info u can give me on them. u can email me or pm me since this isn't 3rd gen related.

my Zee is a drum rear so I'd guess no probs there... as for where I'm getting them polish I'm in the UK so no good to you however it may be that I can get them for as little as $40 equivalent (vv cheap for over here)
