oh sorry, havent checked mail in a while. they are american racing outlaw II's are are readily available. the tires are bf goodrich radial t/a 215/65/15 in the front and 275/60/15 in the back. the wheels are 15x7 and 15x9 i believe. i got some more pics up yesterday. heres a couple.
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
Well then Gotcha's it is
Gotcha's size 18x10 rear and 18x8 front run about $1980.00 and change. Then another 140 for shipping. And if I wanted to get fancy, an extra 100 per wheel for powdercoated centers which im not doin unless they can send a picture of what it would look like.
Thats without tires by the way. But I think that what im goin with cuz there just beautiful.

dont mean to pull this thread from the dead..I've been mia for awhile. I haven't gotten the rims yet, really because I dont have the money which is the problem most of us have.
Anyway 6months later, for camaroguy, apparently there are removable centers (the inside diameter between the lugnuts), which can be powdercoated any color you want. I was thinking red..but have a feeling it would look bad.
Done alot of other things to the car since then though. Probably spent as much as the rims. :/ oh well lol

yea if you were talking about the center caps....I think it would be kinda hard to pull off any color other than black, unless you had some scheme to go with it....so no rims for you?
drags on the back.. 15x8 weld prostars.. fronts on the link are 17x8 boyd coddington magneato's with 245/45-17.. other pic fronts are stock s-10 extreme wheels.. 16x8's..

Although every time I look at your car and gasp a little at how good it looks..just dont have the funds for boyds. I will get them..just not yet. I told myself I didnt have the money for the ram air hood..leather seats, subs, dvd player, present rims..tires, suspension..exhaust, etc......and wound up buying it anyway. lol
So just need some time and will get them.
And ps..if you ever sell that car..or rims for that matter, let me know. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

damn, that's an awesome interior!!!!...but yea I hear you on the boyds, Ill make sure to keep you in mind if they go
Whats interesting is that the ZR6 wheels I believe are the same as the ROH ZS except they are machined, and they have the large center cap... They really remind me of the 94-96 Impala SS rims...
where are all the pictures of ZR1's?? ive only seen like 3 cars in this thread with ZR1's

Yeah that car is a testiment to extreme 3rd gen modifications. The number of changes it went through, and how extensive the mods are, its just crazy. Fatal88 got some skills!!

no doubt there....I wish I could get out to a track for some pics
The best rims are 18 inch GTA wheels. Unfortunately, noone has ever made them. But you can buy freakin camro rims in any size you want, even 20 inches.
these are by far not the best but i got them off of a 85 t/a parts car i had and i striped them and sanded them up to 600wet then used polishing compound and wax. this is a lil older pic right before i used the compiund and wax but still nice. i also painted the inside of the spokes gloss black
Then another 140 for shipping. And if I wanted to get fancy, an extra 100 per wheel for powdercoated centers which im not doin unless they can send a picture of what it would look like.

here's a pic
