How Would Z28 5 spoke wheels look on Firebird?

I've got an 84 Firebird (V6) w/ the factory original 14" steel rally wheels. I'm interested in changing to at least a 15" rim and am partial to the early 80s Z28 wheels vs the early 80s T/A wheels. I'm partial to symmetrical wheel designs vs assymetrical.

Q: Thoughts on what a 5 spoke 15X7 Z28 wheels would look like on an '84 Firebird? Anybody done this combo?

Q: Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe those early-mid 1980s Camaro 15X7 alloys bolt right on with the same pattern and OFFSET correct? (I have a V6 Firebird w/ 14" steel factory rims and drum brakes in the rear)

Thanks!

yes, they'll all fit.

Look at supervisor42. His '89ish Trans-AM sports late '80's Camaro wheels, I think the 16"ers, but they look similar. I think it looks really cool. That's the only car I can think of off the top of my head with that combo.

Thanks! I dug around and found his site - He's go ta real nice TA with the 5 spokers. 16" would be nice but I think I'd have to mess wtih different offsets and all. Coming from 14" steel ralleys, some 15" Z28 wheels will be great for my needs.

Thanks again - that's precisely what I was looking for.
