Iforged Aero's are one of the best looking wheels on our cars, IMO. i went with the Intro GT Sport wheels on my IROC. theyre identical to the Aero's but significantly cheaper.
fronts:
rears:
and ya i know the calipers dont match. ill be changing the rear's to black shortly.

Where did you get that hood for the rear window and how much was it? I've never seen that before.

That's really old school. 85 Supras had them stock and a bunch of aftermarket companies offered them for a lot of different cars.
I have these on my 01 SS:
Boyd Coddington F09
They would look great on my third gen. I'll swap them on the IROC once I get it back on the road.

cant decide...
Ok, so out of the two of these rims, which one should I go with?
Either 18" Chrome Irocs like these: (thanx maroon88iroc)
Or 18" Gotcha series Hotrods like these: (thanx camaroguy)
I realize Irocs are a camaro wheel, but I think they would look good on my firebird. But the Hotrods are really nice too. Only difference is about $900 extra dollars for the hotrods of course.
Someone help me make up my mind?

I like the IROC wheels. It's just a pitty that noone makes them 9 or 10 inches wide.

X 100.
If someone made late style 17" & 18" and 9" or 9.5" wide, I bet they would be the hottest seller in the third gen markets.

I'm thinking about getting either some 18" C-5 rims, the 2000-up with the skinny spokes, or some ZR1 rims. What is the widest tire you guys are running? I will be slightly lowered and dont want to be rubbing and dont want to modify the fender or anything very much. Is anyone running a 285/35/18? 275? what about on an 18 inch rim? I also dont want the wheel sticking out past the fender at all because I think that looks horrible. Which looks better?

I have the Y2ks, 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. I use the stock corvette tire sizes, 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear. 285/35/18 is fine, but I think sidewall is more important than width. My tires don't stick out but I have a 4th gen rear.

I'd say if you can afford it, get the hotrods. - still have yet to see a set on a bird so that'd be cool. Plus you can get them wider than 8" whereas the irocs are stuck at that

They're available in 8.5" widths, which should accomodate a 275 tire just fine.
