Re: Lets see those 3rd gens with 4th gen rims!!!

I have had the Z06 and the the 93 Z fan blades and the 97 five spoke and the ss. It really do depend on the car and color. The 93Z wheels did no look good on my 92Z but looked great on the 83Z. The five spokes did not go well with either in my opinion. The Z06 and the SS look great on the 92 but not sure about he 83 I don't think they would have looked good.
If you do a seack on me you should be able to find picks of the wheels I had on the cars.
