      Monoblock wheels on a 1st or 2nd Gen? Pictures?

      Does anyone have pictures of, renderings of, or thoughts on using a Monoblock-style wheel on a 1st or 2nd gen F-body? Or really any musclecar...

      I'm so accustomed to the older cars using a more standard lipped-style wheel that it's hard to picture how a wheel that is generally used on a newer car would look on the old car.

      I'm debating wheels right now, and I actually really like the Forgeline GA1R wheel a lot! I think it would be made to work for my application, but I'm not 100% sure. Regardless, I'm trying to think how it would look?

      Has anyone done this? What do you think? Here is the car it would go on. It's not the best picture, but I don't seem to have a good side shot:

      I should have mentioned that my other options from Forgeline include the following:

      GA3:



      GZ3:



      And although lower on my list, the RB3C:

      I think the concave's work quite well with the 2nd gen camaro/firebirds. I think the Mono's would look good on 2nd gens we well. For whatever reason I don't care for Mono's on the first gens.

      I've seen both of these car below in person and they look fantastic.
