What do you think of these M3 wheels on Camaro?
I got this wheel free and the other three I'll be picking those up next year after the car is painted. Wanted your opinion on them.

They don't look bad. But to me it kinda looks like it doesn't belong, I personally am not into those wheels with a bunch of spokes. I like your c5's better you have in the first pic actually.

One thought would be to have the the conical portion of the bolt hole relocated by a competent machine shop. Lacking that, as a minimum, I would install the lugs with a torque wrench, carefully tightening them in 10 to15 ft-lb steps in an attempt to get the "error" spread evenly over all 5 studs. And, check the torque frequently, to assure the bending moment in the studs it not causing the lugs to enlarge the conical seats in the wheels, loosening them.
Aesthetically, they look like they don't have enough offset, pushing what is really a fairly narrow rim for a 4th Gen too far toward the outside of the wheel opening. But that's a matter of personal taste.
