Re: I'm Embarrassed to Ask This

The wheels that are on your car now are just the normal 15 inch 5-spoke wheels used from 82-92. They were first used on Z28's and later used on the RS. The wheels that you are interested in buying are 91-92 wheels. They were available on the RS and Z28.

Re: I'm Embarrassed to Ask This

Curb rash is from when the driver grinds his rims on the curb because of driver error; this removes the factory paint or coating and it looks like crap. Also it looks like one of the rims has a pretty nasty dent in it.

Re: I'm Embarrassed to Ask This

the first set are commonly referred to as the "15inch z28 wheels" where the second set are commonly referred to as "91-92 style 16inch wheels"...sure wish they had easier names like the iroc single or double line wheels, but they don't....

wish you were closer, i have a set of those with good rubber, all four centercaps, and no curb rash whatsoever and i've been trying to unload them for $250 with terrible luck, lol!
