What do yall think

Well a few weeks ago i took the wheels off the RS and put em on my Z....i think they look ALOT better than the stock 15 in Z wheels that were on it...and the Gold Enkeis that were on it before that (if anyone remembers the pictures)

I think they look a hell of alot better. I did the same thing with my red 87 z28, I baught those rims with some new Kuhmo tires on it and it made it look so much better. Its red with the silver ground effects, so the rims match everything. lookin' good man

I agree they look good. I don't know what they looked liked before, but good pic. I had a chance last week to get rims like those for $25 from a 92 RS and when I went back the next day they were gone

Haha I loved the Kuhmo tires that i had, I forget what they were, but I'm pretty sure they were 255/60/16's. Very good tire all around, I was pleased with them...until the rear ones went bald

Iron Duke- you didnt have $25 on ya in your wallet to just grab them that day??!!

I was stripping the car and never had a second thought about the rims until that evening when I saw a set of the center caps sale for $100 on e-bay. I went back the next day and they were gone. I also have Kuhmo tires on mr car and they are great tires but not in the rain or snow.

Never had the Kuhmo's in snow, but in rain mine did very well, like I said, I was very pleased with their all around performance.

I am a firebird guy but I have always liked those wheels on camaros. the one thing you need is the high rise spoiler it seems to go hand and hand with those wheels.

Looks good!
