BUT I like the 17" Cragars BETTER than the TT's..

okfoz · 06-20-2002, 03:48 PM

I personally like the ROH Rims, they look the best as far as aftermarket.

okfoz · 06-20-2002, 03:50 PM

forgot the pic:

This is FlyingLow's 89 GTA....

omnipotentgoku · 06-21-2002, 02:03 AM

Pardon me if I am biased, but I kinda dig my rims

Scott_92RS · 06-21-2002, 07:08 AM

I'll be putting Borbet "Design T" wheels on my car in about a month:

Personally, I dont see why everyone and their mother busts one about the TT II's. They look OK, but not compared to some of the other wheels that are out there, and everyone has em. Save a few extra bucks and be unique

I do like the ROHs and ZR1's though. I was set on ZR1's till I saw the Borbets.

stuart69427 · 06-21-2002, 12:44 PM

everyone always says "that everybody and their brother has the TT II's on there car" but when was the last time you say them when you were driving down the street?????

okfoz · 06-21-2002, 12:59 PM

Show a pic of a TT, I'm not sure I know which rims your talking about...

doesn't matter what the wheels are as long as you Keep It Simple Stupid

Camrs89 · 06-21-2002, 01:50 PM

I like my 91-92 rims, cheaper than buying new ones.

iroc2nv · 06-21-2002, 04:42 PM

well im getting (hopefully this year)

not my fault buggers at eagle alloys themselves are holding out on me (ive paid and everything)

anyways..

go to http://www.americaneaglewheel.com/wheelindexTWO.htm
and take a peek mine are the style #203 on the 2 piece section..

i dont think i have ever seen a 3rd gen (or fourth) or any maros/birds with those on them...

anyways thats my 10 cents 2 cents free (eminem)

American Racing Torq-TThrust II
17 X 8 Polished IROC wheels

I opted for the IROC wheels, the TT II's were slightly out of my price range. I think that these 2 wheel styles are the nicest for a third gen without having to use adapters. I also like the new chrome 10 spoke SS wheels but adapters are needed for these wheels.

IROCThe5.7L · 06-21-2002, 05:27 PM

I love the stock IROC rims.

He's referring to the American Racing Torq Thrusts. They do look the best on a third gen IMO.

I like the stock 'sleeper' look myself. 16x8 IROCs.

Abubaca · 06-21-2002, 08:58 PM

My faves are bone stock "2nd style IROC rims, but tt2's and Firehawk/Ronals are bada$$ too! Check these out...

These are not torque D's...they are painted TT2's. Charcoal metallic custom TT2's for the Tom henry SS.

Me Likes!!!

Abubaca · 06-21-2002, 09:01 PM

And I think this is the "Blackbird" from Black Pontiac....

igotslicksNchix · 06-21-2002, 09:06 PM

personally, i like stock alloys, i like my 16"ers on the formula, use that extra money you can save on rims and spend it on some sweet tires.

Oh, you didnt get the memo? http://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/show...threadid=90715 (My Camaro Pics: Work in Progress)
LOL, and thx for hosting that pic for me.

REVLIMIT · 06-22-2002, 03:59 AM

I wanted to put these rims. But the widest they have is 7.5" and thats to skinny for me. I'll go no less then 8"

rocky383 · 06-22-2002, 07:40 AM

:hail:IROC-Z

Zepher · 06-22-2002, 08:21 AM

These are the best, 4th Gen WS6 17x9 Wheels

Scott_92RS · 06-22-2002, 08:39 AM

No, these are the best:

HRE 545's. Only problem is that they'll run ya ~1000 EACH WHEEL

I wish I could find the pic I had of a black 4th gen TA with them, looked freakin KILLER!

Ah ha!! I found the pic!

Bill Krumel · 06-22-2002, 01:08 PM

ROH Snypers 17x9 wrapped in Sumitomo HTRZII Tires

These are the BEST!

DoorMatt86 · 06-23-2002, 01:49 PM

any close ups of the ROHs?

:lala:

87Iroc-z · 06-25-2002, 11:23 AM

I think the snypers are a waste of money unless you have a killer brake setup to show off. Personally i like the ZS a lot better. Which is why i went with them.

okfoz · 06-25-2002, 12:03 PM

Its funny, I like the ROH wheels on firebirds better than Camaros, but I like the Ronal "Firehawk" wheels better on Camaros than Firebirds...I like them on the other cars tho,

just a matter of taste,

John

DoorMatt86 · 06-25-2002, 07:15 PM

my thread is sooooo big

Kandied91z · 06-26-2002, 12:03 AM

i'd have to say a clean version of the stock wheels will out shine and get more compliments than any aftermarket wheel out there.

if you have a certain lust for a wheel then by all means go for it.......but if you want something that looks good look to what it came with.

i love custom wheels like the next one, but you just can't go wrong!

RCR · 06-26-2002, 07:31 AM

Not seeing a large 'bird contingent, my preference is the stock GTA wheel, in black of course.

That's my oldest, BTW

Grey Goose · 06-26-2002, 03:22 PM

Personally I think these are the only aftermarket wheels for a 3rd gen

BigMInstalls · 06-27-2002, 12:11 AM

chrome C5, nuff said!

Tex Mex · 06-27-2002, 07:11 PM

I got 15inch eagle alloys on my Berlinetta, I wish i could getta picture of them

johndo1707 · 06-28-2002, 10:51 AM

LilJayV10 · 06-28-2002, 06:38 PM

okfoz, i know thats not your car, but any idea what color that is? thats sweet as hell, and I agree the ROH's look better on birds for some reason. just my .02

MetalliCamaroRS · 06-28-2002, 07:25 PM

I like the ROHs, TTIIs, and these:
:hail:

3RDGENFRANK · 06-28-2002, 08:47 PM

Firehawk Rims

06-28-2002, 10:29 PM

i think the AMERICAN RACING " LE MANS" wheels were AWESOME!!! too bad they dont make them anymore.. i dont know why... some one needs to find a pic of these..

there was a guy who used to come into my work when i was 20 and had them on a 98 black WS6 17x9's up front.. with 17x11's in back.. and he had the correct back spacing.

stuart69427 · 06-29-2002, 08:28 AM

yeah, with those, you'll have to keep good looking rotors and calipers or else it won't work

I prefer those on the vettes myself

they look good on the f-body, but they look beter on the C5

nosaint · 06-29-2002, 09:03 AM

Heres mine, 3 piece 17 x 9.5

okfoz · 06-29-2002, 11:58 AM

LilJayV10
I believe the color is Chrysler Platinum on Flyinlow89's GTA

My Wife wants a Formula that color, only seen one Silver Formula tho...
