Iforged Aero's are one of the best looking wheels on our cars, IMO. i went with the Intro GT Sport wheels on my IROC. theyre identical to the Aero's but significantly cheaper.

fronts:




rears:





and ya i know the calipers dont match. ill be changing the rear's to black shortly.

i wish i had one, but the car is being straightened + painted right now it looked like *** since the paint/body is the last thing im doing to it so i didnt bother taking many pics of it in its current state.

That's really old school. 85 Supras had them stock and a bunch of aftermarket companies offered them for a lot of different cars.

I have these on my 01 SS:



Boyd Coddington F09

They would look great on my third gen. I'll swap them on the IROC once I get it back on the road.

cant decide...

Ok, so out of the two of these rims, which one should I go with?

Either 18" Chrome Irocs like these: (thanx maroon88iroc)


Or 18" Gotcha series Hotrods like these: (thanx camaroguy)



I realize Irocs are a camaro wheel, but I think they would look good on my firebird. But the Hotrods are really nice too. Only difference is about $900 extra dollars for the hotrods of course.

Someone help me make up my mind?

I like the IROC wheels. It's just a pitty that noone makes them 9 or 10 inches wide.

X 100.

If someone made late style 17" & 18" and 9" or 9.5" wide, I bet they would be the hottest seller in the third gen markets.
