Hey Andrew, welcome!  You've got the car I've wanted for a long time....a cayenne red '96 Z26...You're a lucky guy

Unfortunately the Z28 wheels would not work for your car because they're from a rear-wheel drive car so the offset would be different.  I wouldn't be surprised if there is a company that makes some that look similar, though.  Our wheels have the 5x100mm bolt pattern and a 42mm offset.  Many aftermarket wheels have a 38mm offset which will also work.

As far as exhaust you're kind of on your own because as far as I know, noone makes a kit for the Beretta anymore.  The nice thing about that is you get to be creative and even do dual exhaust if you want You can upsize the piping, throw in a high-flow cat, and find a muffler that flows well and gives you the tone you want.  The Goodie Bin on BerettaNet has a few sound files.

Actually it's not even the offset that's the problem, that would most likely be ok.  The main issue is the difference in bolt pattern, the F-Body is like 5X120 or something thereabouts.

As for the RWD/FWD thing, the wheels i have on my (FWD) Alero came off a (RWD) CTS.
