Depends on the size, if you keep them at 17" I say yes, but if you go to 18 or 19" I'm not sure. Hard to tell until they are on the car, but I do like the design.

A little too busy for my taste, but they look okay. I saw them on a C5 last week, there are others that look better. BUT, it's what you like that counts.

Their actually pretty cheap at just over $700.00 for a set of 17 inch rims.
I'd have to call and see if they have the right offset though, or maybe they can custom make a set.
Just trying to be different.

I'll tell you it's hard finding custom rims for my Vette without breaking the bank wide open.
I'm just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of my ZR-1 rims!

If you want to sell the ZR1s let me know what size and offset they are and what finish they are. I am currently looking for a set. I have a 92

I'm actually putting them on my custom '79 Pick-Up.

My first thought would be but what's important is if YOU like them?
Just read that they were going on something other than your Vette. If that's the case go for it. IMHO there are very few wheels that look right on a vette. Other vehicles can be more forgiving.

No my ZR-1's are going on my truck, I'm looking for a set of custom rims for my Vette.

Whatever you decide to go with, be sure and post pictures of what it actually looks like on the car.
