Hope that overspray isnt on the rims.

2 of those rims arent even still on the car, those are the 15" irocs, put the rear 2 16's on already, and have to take the fronts off the car they're still on, and they may not stay on the car even, maybe in a day or so i'll post some of the 90-92 dash conversion i'll be working on for it and of the ground effects etc...

I thought all paint shops put plastic baggies on the wheels. I guess I will have to put my 15s back on when I get my car painted. I would hate to get overspray on my somewhat new GTA rims.

Usually they do, had another friend spray it, who does paint @ a local gm dealer, using anothers booth, we didnt care about the rims, so we didnt bother.

Are those flush door handles??

nikh23

love the color, but they never made that style rim in 15"???

85TPI400

That rim was made in a 15 in. size, my brother also had them on his 89 Iroc.

screaminformula

yes, its true. my GM resto packet says those rims were available starting 1988 and went to 1990 i believe, maybe 1989, not sure, but they DO exist...

Nope, that's just the indentation where the handle goes.....

at least that's what is looks like to me....

screaminformula

yes they DO exist. my GM resto packet says so. they were available beginning 1988 and went to, i believe, 1990...they were the BASE IROC wheel...not very popular, but not a figment of someone's imagination...


nice vert, but PLEASE paint the headlight pockets black! they look so much better like that IMHO...
Josh

nikh23

wait, so the double "veined" iroc rims that were 16" rims are also available in 15" in the same exact style? Wow i never knew that, never seen one in person either

16" wheels became an option on IROCs starting in 88. In 88 the standard wheel was a 15" wheel, just like what the Z28s had used previously. In 89 and 90, the "mini IROC" wheel like what's in the pic above was standard.

nikh23

Yea i knew about the change in 88 about the standard rims becoming those that were available on the RS and the optional 16" rims in 88, but had absolutely no idea there was a mini 15" version available, thats pretty cool. Thanks for clearing that up guys, and Z28***** sorry for semi-hijacking your thread!

The pockets probably wont be painted black, its going to have a black top, the 16" double slot iroc's may stay on it, the interior will probably be black leather, with a 90-92 style dash, 145 mph cluster, and some stereo, still sorting out the under-hood plans.

I am doing something similar. I have already removed my entire interior (except for the dash) and plan on getting it sprayed ASAP, but trying to find a place to do it inexpensively. Most places I have talked to want the same price it seems even after I have ripped everything out. Called them before started taking it apart and they said starts at $3k, called them a few months later and said everything removed, they said "starts at $3k", that's with me doing all the prep work.

Paint is too d*mn expensive.

good color for that vert by the way.

bigals87z28

ahhhh...... never have i ever seen "mini irocs" in that style. Take shot of the tire size please cause i dont belive any of you SOB's hehehe. Really, I wana see these 15in rims... I have seen the Z28's rims on RS models, and i have seen other rims on RS's, but i have never seen the 88-90 16 in iroc rims in 15's. I have never seen them nor have i ever heard anyone talk about them. I raise the personal till i see some dam proof. If they exist, prove it. sorry for the high jacking... the vert looks nice.

I've seen 15" IROC wheels in the 88-90 style.

My friend Joe had them on his IROC, but switched to 16" 85-87 IROC wheels.

It's not

Z28ricer

iTrader: (2)

Yeah thats it, im just blind, they're really 16's yet have a completely different dish angle to the rim spokes

Wootah

tommy = idiot

85IrocNOH

I looked at an 88 G92 Iroc in columbus that had the 15" double striped iroc rims on it. I also looked at an 89 Iroc in Indianapolis that had 15" double striped iroc rims. They DO exist even though i wish they didnt.

bigals87z28

Hehehehe ok ok... chill out fellas... I gotcha... i have several pics of them in my collection... you guys get nuts! It does suck that they made 15's for irocs... so much for that world class handling. I guess if soem came without posi (haha nik!), some would come without 16's

this is the best i can get, if you look closely you can see the 225/60/15 and see the double lined rim

Looks good. I'm with you on the headlight pockets...I like them better in body color, not black. But please tell me they didn't paint that black vinyl piece on the tonneau cover yellow!

camaro6spd

yeah, please say you did not paint that part.

Z28ricer

iTrader: (2)

The black vinyl piece was removed and is going to be recovered, the door jams, under trunk lid and tonneau, and inside edges of fenders etc were sprayed prior to the outside.
