Default Rim Choice

I have a new set of Chevy ZQ8 rims and want your opinion on which vehicle I should mount them on.

Those are "old-style" bolt pattern then??? (Not metric)
Saw them in the GMPP catalog and liked them! Look good on either car.
Any clearance issues ? (parking brake, etc.?)

Yes the old style and its been awhile since I test fitted them but I don't remember any clearence issuses.

Thanks everyone for your input. I am leaning on the elky side because I want 17 inch on the vette.

MASTER HO They can be yours if the price is right. :jester
