Who has wide 17" wheels that don't look *****?
I want to get 17x9.5" and 17x11" wheels for my IROC, but I can't find any that look good on a thirdgen. Does anyone have any pics of their wheels?

ShiftyCapone- I like those wheels, who makes them?
I desperately want to keep the IROC wheels, but I need wider wheels for more traction once me and LottaBalls put our new engine in next year.

Oh, nevermind, I found them. ROH snypers. I like the way those look, but they don't come wider than a 9", it looks like. I definitely want at least a 10" in the rear.

Tara, you aren't going to fit 11 inch wheels on your stock IROC at 17inches! 
Save your cash and build the engine!
Get rims and wheels later

Mike - All this will be done next year, at the same time. We're also lowering it and throwing a bunch of suspension parts on there. I can't ride around with a 500hp engine on 8" wide wheels, now can I?

If you have your car lowered, 11" won't fit without mods, if it isn't lowered, then probably it will.
Maybe I could borrow a friend of mines 17x11 GS wheels and see how it fits on my car. I've got the 17x9.5 OZ's on mine right now,
here is the Firehawk 17x9.5 wheels on my friends 82 T/A,

Those SS wheels look pretty sweet! They look better than I thought they would on a thirdgen. I saw on some website that the ROH Snypers didn't come bigger than a 9". Maybe I'm wrong, though.
