Vortec Z wheels.....have you seen them?

In the current issue of Chevy High Performance there is an ad by performance wheel outlet and they have a new wheel called Vortec Z. They say it fits '67 to 2001 camaros, but on their website they don't have any pics. Also did anyone see the wheels on that red conv Malibu in the same issue. Those wheels are awesome but I can't seem to find anyone who sells them. In the article it says they are "Vista Wheels" Where can I get these?

i think the vortec-z rims look hell of a lot better than most of the 5 spokers i see, them and the TT2's are the top wheels i would get for my car

Screw pics on a thirdgen, I dont care what they are on! I also like the TT II's, and Snypers, so I am guessing I'll like these too. Can someone scan these in and post them? If you dont know how to post, email them to me and I'll do it. Thanks!

I noticed that as well, however it is not a true cobra R wheel and resembles the skinny 5 spoke vette design if anything. The true cobra R wheel has a slight groove down each of the spokes. Oh the possibilities!!!

I have that picture on my wall. Chevy High Performance made a poster out of it. That is one georgeous Malibu. *drools*, its nicer than the 911 Turbo, the S7, the F50, or the Various viper posters on my wall.

if you people like that particular rim, pick up any sport truck type magazine and there is about 3 million billet wheel manufactorers out there that make rims almost exactly like those....not very original!
hell, boyds alone has about a freakin hundred variations of just a five star
