I recall seeing some local camaro with these rims many years ago. Still see the odd one for sale with these rims on them now.

Re: 1979 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z-28
I believe all the Z28's had the painted 5 spoke wheels with a trim ring. The wheels that are on the car are Camaro wheels, but were an option on the other models. I body-colored many of them, between the spokes, for dealers back then.

Re: 1979 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z-28
Those were available as option on 77,78 and 79 z's and in 80 the aluminum wheel option changed to a different style(n 90) if I am not mistaken.
I had a cousin had those on a 79 z28 yeras ago.

If you're interested, most all '77 and newer F'Body Vins can be documented by GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Services regardless of where built/shipped when new..

Re: 1979 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z-28
I think the later turbine wheels were nice,but thats just my choice.As for the color,I have always loved that color big time.A friend had one years back,it was that color,with the Z stripes on the side and had a tan interior.When they are really mint,that color combo is soooo classy looking,but doesnt make the car look grandmaish.I have seen some that were clapped out and the color combo tends to add to the clappedoutness,but when they are mint,it is a totally different story.
Another awsome color combo on those cars is black with blue Z stripes and a black or dark blue gut.Some colors just work on some cars,that brown on those cars is like citrus green on a 70 camaro,it is a color that you wouldnt normally think of that really does something when it hits those lines.I call it "beef gravy brown" because the metallic makes it look like the sparkle of oil on top of a really hot ladle of beef gravy.Buy it.

Re: 1979 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z-28
Now that I see the brochure on that site, I remember now. I color keyed a lot of those wheels on Camaros back then.
I'm thinking of buying a 79 Z28. It's an original owner car. He pulled the engine about 10 years ago to freshen it up, and never got past that point. It's rust free and all there and reasonably priced. Just a towing bill to get it home, re-install the engine and have a fun car to drive.
