This will be going on a red 91 RS.

I think they would be nice. It is a crisp/non flashy design and not typical of the every day 5 spoke or torque thrust style wheel. I think it would look really good. This may need to go in the appearance board.

 

You know you are right about this needing to g to the appearance board. I was originally going to ask about fitment and tire sizes but found everything I needed in a search on this board, guess I forgot where I was when I made the post. Sorry if I have affended anyone.

I was actually going to go with the same size and wheel on my 84 z28, but decided to get the centerline matrix wheels. I just didn't know how the 7 spoke design would look on my car. They should look good, just post some pics when you get them on.

 

Fit is a bit of a problem with stock springs.

17 x 9.5 Centerlines (diablo or something)

the rears rubbed on launch, and weren't the best choice for long high stress road racing type driving.

If you're out to do more than 'look good', consider spring/strut/spindle swap.

At a tire store I went to once, they had a computer where you could see what your car looked like with different wheels. It worked really well, I wish I could find that program online.

 

Could you alaborate a little more on (weren't the best choice for long high stress road racing type driving.).

I was given the advice that the billett centerlines (or any NON SFI approved billett alum wheel for that matter) wouldn't stand up to the 30 minute hard-racing conditions with 00 treadwear roadrace tires and all the cornering and brake-heating stresses that come along with doing that. It was good enough for me, I'm skeered of anything that would fail and cause a crash. The advice-givers were respected novice roadracers. The centerlines are NOT SFI approved wheels. They may make some, but the diablo billett 17 x 9.5 was not.

For a measure of the braking heat alone, for a 20 minute session you need to take any plastic hub caps off or they will melt.
