They most certainly are Camaro wheels. The design is not bad looking, but I agree, too BIG of a wheel, especially up front as stated above. Just as an fyi....Camaro wheels are 20's Front/Rear.

They do look pretty good on a Vette.

I was surprised when I saw this because I thought that the offsets were all wrong to use on a C5. I see that this person used a "rubber rake" to try and get the size differential front to back.

If I were still running wagons and could get my hands on a reasonably priced set of these I might give them a try. For the best look with these sizes a big brake upgrade would be in order.

It looks like it's holding the exhaust in place.
