Thanks Jim, I really appreciate your help.

I like them but the rake is definitely different than the oem. I have to agree with some of the comments, in that the black OEM looks more sinister. The chrome does look a tad puny.

I really want to see a set of the oem polished and/or machined.

The "Type 41's" are available in different sizes, thus the rake will look different.

Some chrome hash marks will fix it.

They look smaller to me, too.
Maybe the diameter & width are the same, but are the backspacing & offset the same?
Maybe those 2 other dimensions could play a part in making them look smaller if they are different than the originals.

Backspacing would be evident by how the wheels fit in the wheel wells. Changing the back spacing moves the wheel in/out.

I don't remember all of the sizes they offer, but I remember they had 9, 10, and 11 inch widths to accomodate all of the standard wheels sizes offered. If I remember correctly, they are identical except for the "Camaro" logo. So anything that you are "seeing" is likely just a result of them not being black.

I like the stock black rims. You cant see the brake dust on them, so they always look great. Had chrome rims on the vette, the brake dust was a never ending mess.

I am not a chrome anything fan, but i know those wheels will be much easier to clean!
