You are right and it is your opinion. Who else's opinion would it be? Like I said before, you did a good job on the polish. I just don't like the style of the wheel. You asked if it was worth it so you should be prepared to hear both sides. Whats the point of the post if you want everyone to say they like it? It only matters what you like in the end. Also, my mom never liked my 15x7 wheels so I doubt she would like yours.

As from me, I used to have the same wheels in a bright white color on my previous 88 RS and the day I changed to the 91-92 Z28 16 inch, it was really another ride...Much much better look!!!

If you have a V6, these wheels are o.k. But if you have an engine, then you need wider tires and to fill the inner fender for a great look.

I still have the OE wheels on my 91 Z28 and I am more than happy to order the new Ronal R-15 production 17x9.5.

Just my opinion, you are the only one who knows what you want.

Well, I think they look damn good. Huge improvement over the painted originals. Now if you can keep them like that, that might be a routine chore. Nice looking car too.
