I sold my old thinspokes to a guy with a Camaro. Seems like a smart upgrade to me.

I see it all the time. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. They're not saying they have a Vette. They're saying "We like those wheels too!"

Default c5 wheels on f-bodies

Can't be bashing the fbodys as these rims look great on them. I have a 91 camaro but decided to go w/iroc replicas. Here's a pic of an '83 w/wagon wheels on it.

Honestly, it's really not that big of a deal. I think an issue would be if they were putting Vette flags and letters all over their car; replacing "Firebird" or "Trans Am" on the doors with "Corvette". That would **** me off. But wheels? Not a big deal.

I unfortunately see people putting the C5 and C6 Vette flags on the back of Ford trucks all the time. I even saw Vette flags on the side of a 2001 Mustang. Bugged the crap out of me. To me, it's just as bad as when I see someone put a "Type-R" badge on a Corvette. That's like saying it's slower.

The camaro SS rims were nearly identical to the C4 grandsport / collector editions wheels. Being a former F-body guy myself, i bet alot of us vette guys started out with an F-body. Thanks for posting the thread. I enjoyed looking at those cars.

Welcome to the internet

It's barely different than C5s running C6, C6Z06 or ZR1 wheels...they look great, they fit, so who cares
