Camaros with GTA wheels?
I've tried searching but barring randomly finding something, I'm not coming up with much. Can you guys post some pics up of thirdgen Camaros with GTA (16" mesh) wheels? Preferably black wheels/chrome lip. I'm just wondering if it'll look good on my car. Thanks

if you like the GTA rims then they look just as good on camaro's as they do on 'birds.

300 third gen photos and i dont have one. i can say that i saw it before though. gm did a white prototype camaro that had a 6spd black cross lace rims and black racing stripes. one of the best looking third gens in my opinion.

I find it odd that I can't find a pic of it at all... I mean the wheels will fit right and everything wouldn't they?

I thought that would look awful but it looks very good. I like the old school black center with a chrome rim, reminds me of the old Chevy Rallys with the beauty rings on them.

You would be right sir, thats why I want to take off my aftermarket wheels and put on some stock GTA wheels. I honestly think that black/polished lip wheel on my red 90 RS would definitely set it off nicely.

My wife's autocross 90 RS, with 87 crosslace wheels. We had the centers painted the same yellow as the stripes.
And yes, the stickers are mainly sponsors, not "rice"

I agree. But, that was a bad Photoshop. It kinda looks like, the original rims lips, are still showing, since the crosslace wheels weren't sized correctly.
This better? It reduces the amount of sidewall, and eliminates the "whitewall" look to me.
Of course,to me, the gold looks better. The black centers tend to disappear, and lose definition.

hehe...Well, we sold that car about 5 yrs ago...Here's my SUPER OLD home page, with a few pics of it. My little hole in space...
Last I heard, the new owner moved to Colorado. I'd love to hear how the car is doing, but can't find him. I tried before I bought the GTA. I was gonna see if he was wanting to sell it. But, since he's gone, I got the GTA.
Hell, it was a RS, but pretty much everything had been changed for IROC stuff.
When I say it was HER car...I mean...IT WAS HER CAR!!! LOL Every time I turned around, I'd hear my 92 leaving. She enjoyed it TOO much, so she sold the F*rd Exploder, and bought the 90. She even passed up automatics until she found a 5 speed manual. Every time I turned around, she was putting stuff from my parts stash on the car!
That's OK though. I loved her that much more, for doing that! LOL

Me too. That's why I don't understand why nobody has stepped up and made 17" or 18" versions of the crosslace wheels. Closest you can get, are 3 piece wheels that aren't even made anymore, as far I can tell.

Car: I've had 4 thrid gens!!
Engine: Someday again I will have another!!
Anyone have a picture of a white w/gold trim Iroc with Gold GTA's on it? Probably not, but I always wondered what that would look like on my car.
How much do the stock 1987 --> 16 inch Iroc rims weight?
By the way I love the GTA wheels on just about anything.
