They look good. Could you also post a closer shot and give us some info on the wheels? Thanks

I don't mind the ones from the first pic at all, and from the looks of that photo finish the Camaro beat you.

The first set are from Western Wheels and were popular in the 70s. For a better view, here's a link to a set on ebay, (although they are not a Corvette bolt pattern).

The second set are regular production option Corvette mag wheels produced from '77-'82.

Yeah,,, My wife brings it up all the time.

"My 300+ HP Z-28 is faster than your Vette."

Yes but my Vette is way cooler!!

Wheels were $250 used. (Aluminum polish and hours shining not included)
Center caps were $48 off Ebay
Lug nuts were $26 from a guy from the Corvette forum.
