Wow, they dont look as bad as I thought they would. They look more at home on your car then they do on the 4th gens!

not bad , but why is the wheel in pic #4 rotating the "wrong" way , actually that should be the right way but then the two on the passenger side are dr. side wheels if that makes any sense. Look at how the spokes rotate , looks to me like you have 4 dr. side wheels (maybe that's how GM did it , but if so then that's pretty f-ing stupid).

The spokes "flowing" in different directions is just based on which side of the car they're on. Their all the same wheel, so the passenger sides flow one way and the driver sides go the other. I never noticed until you guys pointed it out. I just went out and looked at it in the driveway. I bought them off of a guy who bought new wheels for his fourth gen Z, so it looks like that's just the way GM did it.

I think it looks really good. The silver color of the wheels looks to match your silver GFX really well, which helps alot.

I've seen several 3rdgens with 'salad shooters' and they all look great IMO! Then again, I like 'em on 4thgens too.

Looks pretty sweet...I had some on my 84, but I had to take them off 'cause I could not afford new tires. they are going back on as soon as the rest of the car is fixed up and painted! Just have to go to Florida to pick them up from mom's house.

They dont look to bad, but they would probably look better without the huge wheel gaps. Is there a motor in the car?
My frontend sat that high with the motor out.

Umm, okay. I just looked at the salad shooters on my 95 Z28, and the left and right side wheels face the opposite directions, which means....
There are no "LEFT" OR "RIGHT" side wheels from GM, or he put "4 right side rims", because there's no such thing!
