Does your wife consider it her car?

If yes, get the Cragars. No second opinion necessary. In fact, do NOT even let her see this post.

Does she consider it both of yours?

See above.

Do both of you consider it your car?

Same rules buddy. Keep peace in the house.

That generation of Camaro had different offsets between front and rear wheels. I think the ones made for the back have the offset that will look ok on our cars, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've always been partial to the Rally wheels but Crager 5 spokes are cool to.

Sam, here's a picture of those Z/28 wheels on a Laguna. Monte's should be similar:

PM BlackChevelleSS, he had some Cragar SS wheels for sale a while back. Might still have them. I say get the Vette wheels, it's a cult thing. Twisted Evil

77, that middle car is a member's on here. The car was for sale a while back. The top car is my 73 back when Dan (Black) & John (Blue) owned it. The Laguna is PHR's "Project Talladega". If you Barf before, you should see it now......

No offense taken on the wheel choice. I wouldn't have got my Vette wheels if they weren't such a cheap deal to be honest. Now they've grown on me. One day I will get a set of Convo-Pros for it though & the Vette wheels will either get sold or kept as a back up set.

As far as retro goes, when Anthony gets back you can smack him around for selling a set of 15x10 & 15x4 slots if you want, lol. They looked wicked on Limey #1. PM Dan on the Cragars, I don't think it was very much but I can't remember the exact price. Maybe $275? scratch
