78-82 Corvette Wheels..has anyone done this?

I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love the look of the 78-82 wheels on the corvette. Has anyone done this to their car and would care to share your info about it?

Some one here posted that Corvette 1978-82 wheels are direct fits for early z28s. That means they should fit on a 84 Trans Am right? The only difference that I can see for sure, is that these are 15x8, not 15x7...but that shouldn't be a problem should it?

i THINK these fit. i have seen early vettes with slp's zr1 replicas made for the third gens so i am guessing backspacing is compatable. im sure someone around here will know for sure.
