I think those in a 17" rims would look really smooth especially if it's on an F-body.

Do you like them? That's all that matters. But I'd have to agree with Snuf, I love the look of the tuned. Personally, I'm not digging the Boyds, or any other Billet rim look. I think that the stock Camaro wheels and some of the stock firebird wheels are the best in the world. Even though there pretty common.

Thanks for the responses guys, they are in Anahiem which is about 40 minutes south of me. I'm pobably gonna go check them out at the end of this week or some time next week. Stock F-body wheels are cool too but I don't have em. someone replaced the sweet 16" Formula rims with jerkass 15" Pep Boy alloys before I got the car. there was a set of 6 spoke Welds that I REALLY wanted but they were discontinued at the beginning of the year.

Go for the Tuned..........you won't regret it!

In fact, I am thinking of changing my 18' IROCs for the Tuned rims.

I think the haze one's might look pretty sweet, although I'm not a fan of the billet look. They kind of look like smoothed over IROC rims though.....

I dont really like any of those rims, but that only matters if you care about my opinion. However, I think the Timeless is the best looking rim there, plus they're "*****!n"

I would go with the Timeless of the ones shown above. I like thin spoke wheels as opposed to the wide. Ultimately its what you like.
