Well - if they are free - you might as well get them and see if you like them/see how they fit.

You can then sell them on e-bay.

Honestly - I don't think those wheels would/do look good on any vehicle - what was GM thinking?

Those appear to be pre-'88 Corvette wheels, 16s. They will fit, but have a little lower positive offset than your factory wheels, which means they will stick out farther. I've seen some used for autocrossing, etc ... helps widen the stance a little. '88 - '96 17 inch Corvette wheels will bolt up as well, but have an offset closer to the F-body offset.
