Will these look ridiculous?
I threw this out a few weeks ago and didnt get any hits, so lets try again....
Im looking to replace my rims with this set...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360347199349...84.m1438.l2649
I know they will fit, but will the backspacing and such be an issue? Ive been trying to get as much info as I can on the rims and the seller has been very cooperative but when I asked about the fit on a 72 vette, all he said was 'we dont have a vette to put them on'....so, will this setup fit and will they look close to stock?

Backspace is only a 1/4" off. Stock is 4". So yes they will fit. Make sure you like the idea of the plastic center caps with no logo before you order. The price is great but remember you usually get what you pay for.

I was at a car show recently and saw a car with true knock offs that had safety wire on the knock offs to keep them from working loose. Just throwin that out there.

Silver: The wheels are a bit damaged on the inner mounting surfaces (1 wheel minor, 1 wheel not currently safe but repairable) and will take some restoration, maybe a bit of aluminum welding. Do you have pics of the rally wheels you want to trade?
