i think the first ones look better. but werent you the guy that put the beamer wheels on your car at one time? i really liked those if it was you that put those on and you still have access to them i would use those.

I think they both look cheesy, but of the two, I prefer the 2nd set.

I can't really decide because I don't really like either. The BMW ones look sweet, although they look like they added some height to the rear. If I had to choose I would probably choose the second ones if they were to fit, the first looked worse in my opinion with the jagged edges on the spokes.

I have 17" matrix wheels on my 91 z28. They made both the 5-spoke and 6-spoke versions before, but I thought they discountinued the 5-spoke.
Here is a pic of the wheels on my 91, and their are some of them on my old 84 at my cardomain site.

Nazzz28,, thanks for the pic,, I like the Matrix and according to Centerlines Homepage they still make the Matrix for the Camaro. FOr those interested the BMW wheels here is some more pics. As soon as I get some time and some good weather I will put all 4 on the car. The fronts need to be use with spacers (and rear since they have a 7inch BS) because the center bore will not fit thru the rim hole. Soon I will put them on and post. Buy the way these are ALUTEC wheels. http://www.alutec.de/

If you call and talk to Centerline directly, I think they can/will still make the 5 spoke matrix wheels. I attached a pic of someone else's car that has them (I think, I am still new at this). Centerline has lots of pics of 3rd gens with Daggers on them as well. I was going to go with the Venturas but I could never find a good pic of them anywhere. Now I just saw another thread where someone bought them and put them on. I personally like the 5 spoke Matrix more than the Dagger.
