Boyd Magneatos on a thirdgen *pic*
Before you guys say anything, this is NOT my car. I just bolted them on my brother's berlinetta to check for clearance etc... they don't look quite right on his car because it's not lowered at all and has some old style GFX on it. They still look alright though.
BTW, specs are:
Front: 17X8 4.5BS
Rear: 17X10 5.75BS
There are no clearance issues whatsoever, and when I put them on my car which can be lowered to the ground with the weight jacks, they will tuck nicely in the fenders.

Love the car! I'm not terribly interested in the rims....as the recent influx of chrome rims and the inevitable excess and gaudiness has degraded what used to be a classy way to add a custom touch to your car.
Still, those particular rims convey a sort of "racing" feel and are overall quite congruous with the car. I do like them, I just wouldn't put them on my car.
But then that's the best thing about modifications like rims - they're all about what you personally want your ride to express.

Thanks... and just so you know... they are NOT chrome.. they are polished aluminum boyds.... and they are also not meant to be on that car.

i dont like em but thats just because theyre not my steeze....I dont like it when the rims distract your eyes away from the rest of the car and i find those do that.

Nice! If they look that good on that car, I can't wait to see them on yours! I think those are an awsome set of rims; they have a nice look of the following ingredients:
Classic 5-Spoke Design for a natural look on a 3rd Gen.
17" for an improved, modern, sporty look.
Nice Finish for a clean, flashy but not gaudy appearance.
Agressive Enough design to be not radical, but "tough" with a dash of "bling"
I think they're great!

Ahh, not chrome. My mistake!
By the way, tpiroc, I agree that the spokes are crucial to a rim looking fashionably racer-like on a Camaro. That's one of the reasons I kinda like them. And the "tough" with a dash of "bling" comment....I gotta say, that's a perfect way of summing of those rims!

Those are some very nice looking rims. I don't think they look bad on that Camaro.

Oh, don't you worry about that... I'll send you some pics of the engine soon.
And I'm going to stop by Sparta on Sunday... just with the Delta.
