The best wheels for a 3rd gen are the ONES you like and can afford. Other people likes meams nothing. You have to pay for them.

ZS wheels also get the nod as my favorites. Especially with the dark spokes.

85-87 style Iroc wheels. If I decided to get new wheels, they would the same thing in 17's not chromed. Like they said above, it's all opinion.

I have to say the 88-90 IROC wheel, when clean and polished. I know that I am biased, but I think they look great especially with some nice 255/50 tires on the back and 225/55 on the front.

I think billet rims look awsome, but i really have a thing for drag racing rims. Well, crager ss are the best, but that is a given. They really look good on our cars if you like the older style look. Here is a picture of my fattys, theyre weld racing prostar 96 series riding on some cheap firestone 295/50 r15. Look sweet though. uh?

rims
I say the right rims are the ones you like on your car.. Spend awhile looking till you find something you really like, don't be in a hurry to just get something.. Rims can have a huge affect on the way your car looks(good and bad)... So my advice is find what you like and take your time finding them... Later and good luck...

Well, it's hard for Torque Thrust's to look bad on anything...


Otherwise the 10 spoke 4th Gen SS rims are quite nice!

ok..i was debating between TT2's or C5 rims..but those pics have me convinced..im gonna with TT's even I i dont eat for a few months. What sizes are those on the cars, it looks to me like the first one has 18's and the second 17's. I want 18's but there a good bit more expensive. Anyone know of a place with a good deal on these...or someone selling used ones? Also do they make TT's with the right offsets for our cars?
