i've got a set of these that were in rough shape when i purchased them for 300 bucks. took the clear coat off the lips and polished them, then duplicolored the centres charcoal gray. the look sharp. the fronts have a deeper offset than the back... which is odd... they even say "front only" on them. however, it makes way more sense to put the deeper dish on the back, so that's what i did when i test fit them. but here's the confusing part. on the third gen gta's, the fronts had 245's and the rears had 255's, so when you swap the front and rears to get the right offsets, you have to swap the rubber too. 255's on the "front only" stamped wheels, and put em on the back (of my 78 formula) and 245's on the shallower offset ones, and put em on the front. 255's just stuff in the rear, and give it a little "fat in the ass look". 245's should work up front. i haven't got the new rubber yet. it's a spring time project.

so they'll fit, and look really good on a 2nd gen f-body.
