Default Wanted: 3rd gen Z28 wheels

Does anyone out in interwebland have a nice set of grey Z28 wheels for early 3rd gen Z28 and RSs? Here's what I'm looking for, preferably near West Carolina!

These should work on my stock height 81 without issue, right?

Not so sure about all 4 working, you might need 2 pairs of fronts. I will wait for others to chime in, but I don't think the offset of the rears will work on a camino.

I've seen other 5th gen with them. They are the same width front and rear so they are interchangeable. I just want to know if spacers are needed in the front or rear.

spacers are needed for the fronts to avoid rim to upper arm interferance. my son had them on his 78 and they rubbed on the lip of the upper control arm. i think we put 1/4 in spacers and longer lugs

Good to know, how long were the replacement lugs and where did you get them and the spacers?
