If you are staying close to stock why not get the real thing, a set of single line IROC's refinished to perfection. The IROC rims, size 16, both single and double line were some of the best rims ever made by GM. No need for fakes when the originals can be had for a reasonable price

just get a used set...I've had many sets of them in my day. Are you wanting to stay with 16's then? With the aftermarket IROC wheels, you can get them in 17, 18, 20, 22, and 24 I think. I used to have them on mine...I had the 18/20 combo. My brother has the 18's on his Z28 and they look great.

Original IROC wheels look great on just about anything! Last week I was detailing my IROC and had the wheels off. Just for giggles I mounted them of my 1st gen. Now I'm looking for another set.Tell me what you think how my Z would look with a set of iroc replicas-mar18-011.jpg

When I put them on the Bird, I found that the rears work front or rear but on the front only the rear will work. Also with the IROC fronts on the rear there is rubbing. So what I need is 4 rear rims. Would you be willing to split your set? Right now there is one rear on E-bay.

thirdgenranch is a site sponser and he refinishes them and polishes also. Ask for Denny.

I have been told by lots of suspension people that for optimum performance our cars work best (handling, performance, suspension) with 16's. I know all of the other sizes work but I don't go higher than 17's. IROC's look the best.

I know this is an old thread but I though it was odd that nobody pointed out that he already has iroc wheels on his car, no need to purchase a new set.
