2nd gen Z28/Monte Carlo SS wheels

Was wondering if anybody has any pictures of a 3rd gen with these wheels? I have a set that I want to put on and want to see what they look with them on.

I scoured the webs and couldn't find any pics. The N90 is a sharp wheel though. If you do it, post up some pics!

For sure, hoping to get them cleaned up and painted this weekend. Hopefully by next week I’ll have them wrapped up in a new set of cooper cobras and put on the car. Can’t wait to get these nasty wheels off there.

those cheap chrome wheels are "period correct" for an early third Pre-production 82 z28 prototypes were driving around on N90s back about 1980-looked good i thought.

Good looking car. Those N90s will be a huge improvement.

Yeah I think they’ll look pretty sharp from the solid 2 cars I’ve seen with these on there. So far I think the ones I have seen all were SS wheels as they weren’t painted. I’m going to paint mine like a gun metal grey. By the time I’m done this car will super sharp except for a few spots.

I believe they’re some sort of American Racing wheel. 15x8 and 15x7 in front with 245/60/15 and 215/65/15 tires. Personally I think they look like **** and it doesn’t help that they’re rusted too. Got new wheels and tires on it now.
