I might get flamed for this, but in general I think Corvette C5 & C6-specific style rims look rather good on 4th-gen f-bodies.

Did you just recently get an internet connection? Fbody's have been running C5 wheels for years.

I don't see why you think this is such blasphemy. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. 4th Gen F-Bodies share a lot of components with C5's, like the LS-engines.

I'll probably get flamed too - they look good on those cars.

I view the F-Bodies, including the 5th Gen Camaro as members of the family.

Now - Corvette wheels on a Mustang or a Mopar - that would be blasphemy!

I have to agree, C5 Z06 rims look pretty wicked on C4's too.

C4 ZR-1 (5 spoke) wheels look better on 4th gen Camaros (on which they sometimes came stock) than they do on C4s in my opinion.

I think this looks awesome, then again I used to have a white 1996 WS6 Ram Air T/A - so I am biased. I never noticed until that pic, but those C6 wheels look very much like the WS6 rims from 1996

The Vette wheels look pretty good on a lot of those cars. I don't see anything wrong with using them on F-bodies.

Compared to the stock wheels, anything is an improvement


I like the look of Vette wheels on F-Bodies (then again, there are lots of different styles of Vette wheels to chose from)

Not bad... that Camaro with the C6 5 spoke wheels looks really good.

I upgraded our C5 to C6 Z06 wheels. I would have put the Thin Spokes on our Tran Am but my tire guy advised against it sighting offset issues and the need for spacers. Otherwise I think they look great.

I have a friend who bought thin spokes off another friend (who is a forum member) and put them on his '98 WS6. They look really good. And I have to agree on lowering most of those 4th-gens to make everything sit just right.
