would look amazing on third gen
http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...el_horsepower/
These rts wheels in the pics although would have to minitub rear and possibly run a narrower front than this one to clear. There is an article on where they narrowed the 4th gen rear and all the specs on the setup but i didnt find the exact link on the page. I have the mag though.

They stuck a set of these on this Camaro project car on Chevyhardcore.com
http://www.chevyhardcore.com/project...und-and-round/
Thing is that they are about $525 each and because of application might not have the proper backspacing to use 17" x 9.5" all around (might need small spacers on front). 18" are $648 each in 9.5" width...

Not a bad looking wheel and I love how deep the rears are.

Re: would look amazing on third gen
As much as I like those wheels, in that price range there are plenty of other styles that I like a lot better.
One thing that I really don't like is that at least for the 17" wheel, the spokes look like the same size as the ones on the 16" wheel, and they made up the difference with an extra-wide hoop. I never cared for that look. The 18" look like they have a taller spoke and a more restrained hoop size.

Re: would look amazing on third gen
the Weld RTS line of wheels are made to fit diff size of calipers.
you can get the spokes more flat with standard stock calipers.
know has Low pads
when going with aftermarket rotors you can move up to med pad
= more loop
and all the way up to larg pad, bigger bow on the spoke.
stock calipers sigle piston and 1LE Will take a low pad Spokes are flat looking.
just so ya know
below is what the med pad wheels looks like
Note: OFF SETS ARE DIFF from the above wheel.. pic is just to show the spokes and how they Differ from low pad to med pad..all are for 3rd gen camaro

With that said I've been considering those RTS wheels for awhile now...
