A new twist on ZO6 wheels on an F-body?
Okay, just between you and I... 
I picked up a set of ZO6 wheels today and I hope to be able to put them on before I put the car away for storage in a week or so, but there is one small problem...
...I do not like the Corvette center caps. Not so much of a problem...I know that the center caps from later models of Camaro 10-spoke wheels will fit on a ZO6 wheel, just like they did on the ZL1 prototype. So, that's what I was going to buy (and probably still will, I just wanna throw an idea out...).
I got to thinking...
Would it look dorky if I got some of the machined center caps from a 35th Anniversary Camaro SS and had the faces of the spokes on the ZO6 wheel machined similar to the 35th wheel? Would that look goofy?
If anyone actually does this in the future, you just remember that I came up with it first...
...unless it is a really bad idea and then you can say someone else came up with it.
Anyway...what do you guys think?

Could anyone photoshop it. It may look better if you do something black on the inside of the wheel like the 35th's have if you know what im talking about. But ya, it would probably look pretty good. Verrrry unique.

Mine are silver, so I use the factory centercaps.

That should look sharp.
