would these wheels look good?

well i realized the rims i had on my truck will work for my camaro and they are decent rims but i dont know if they would look good or not. i wouldnt keep the truck tires on there i would get some smaller profile tires. but anyway here are some pics of my camaro





and here are some pictures of the rims on my truck





they are 15" American Racing Chrome, i got them for free from my cousin. do you think they look good or should i stick to the stock rims? the chrome ones have a bit of an offset to them so they would be sticking out a bit from the stock location, and when they are polished up they really shine. better yet if anyone has some pictures of their thirdgen with these wheels or similar wheels and they have a picture to show me that would be awesome. let me know what you think, thanks!

IMHO, the chrome rims look good on the truck, but I'd prefer the stock wheels for your Camaro. They blend perfect because they match the ground F/X and are a clean looking wheel regardless. If the choice is only between those two, I say keep the wheels that are on there.

well i never really liked those style rims on cars,they belong on a truck,so therefore my vote is to leave them like they are.my favorite saying is "Its YOUR car,do with what you like!"

BTW,looks like you got alot of acreage & lots of privacy...totally cool!

IMO, leave the stockers. I am not terribly fond of the 15" z rim, but it looks better than those chrome ones. It is your car, but since you asked......... IMO, those modular rims look kinda cheap.

get some of the 17 inch chrome irocs. it would go great with the red and it still remains the stock look but with some flavor.
