IMHO i like irocs a lot better on camaros. i think that the straight lines in the rims go more with the agressive look of a camaro rather than the sleek look of a 'bird. although i do like GTA's on a camaro aswell

nolanr0413 · 03-31-2004, 06:56 PM

i wouldnt do that , its not that they dont look ok ,its that everyone who knows cars would know they are camaro rims and be like , why do you have camaro rims on your car. But they look ok, but i wouldnt do it.

I erased it in Photoshop. I think it looks hot like that.

therckid · 03-31-2004, 10:23 PM

i thought it looked shoopped. Just the reppeating leaves above the t-bar.

87ROCZ · 03-31-2004, 10:24 PM

lol... ok... So I am "not seeing" something...

... And yeah I agree, that would have been a nice "option" if GM offered it back in the day....

I think it can be done without tooo much problems but the chassis would have to be strengthened a fair bit

87ROCZ · 03-31-2004, 10:26 PM

Back to the original question....

I don't think IROC Camaro wheels look right on a Bird... there is something that just don't match with the body lines....IMHO of course

chevyrumble83 · 04-04-2004, 10:35 PM

who cares if they are camaro rims on a firebird and what people say about that, y do all of are cars have to look the same, i cant stand crap like that..i say go for it it will look good!

Well... Zepher actually bought the car from the Predator, and he is a bit camera shy and he cloaked for that picture.

I'd have to say though, for the look and the price. I would think camaro rims are probably the cheapest and coolest looking wheel you can find.

I have thought about it, but the fact that you can only get them in 15's swayed me away.

therckid · 04-04-2004, 11:33 PM

all iroc rims are 16"

Midnight Sun · 04-04-2004, 11:39 PM

Well, at any rate, I am looking into 17'' 18'' rims.

therckid · 04-04-2004, 11:47 PM

yeah, for now i'm gonna get 16" snypers, but once i get a nice income gonna move up to 17 or 18. Most likely soem firehawks, like in this pic,

dunno which looks more real so,

Not true... there were IROC's made in the early years (85-86 I think) that had 15" wheels....

I could be wrong though so feel free to correct me..

Nope, not quite. The only years that had 15" IROC wheels were 88-90.

The ones in question above were the base wheel for the IROC in 1988 only. They are common to all camaros from 82-92, as in 82-87 Z28, 88 SC, 89-92 RS. (89-90 all RS cars, and V6 91/92 cars) The 89-90 IROC 15 inch wheels were a restyled version made to look like the 16's.

Hope this clears things up!
