I'm wanting something like a FR500 for my Z28,... Black with polished lip...
I don't care if it is a "Mustang wheel" they are hot as hell. There has got to be something really close to this look that'll fit my car.

Demon355 · 08-19-2008, 05:04 AM

Those do look very nice...

champnesupernva · 08-19-2008, 05:24 AM

these are the rims im planning on putting on my camaro so far. 18x8 in the front, and 19x9.5 in the rear.....

intro pentia

Stephen · 08-19-2008, 10:13 AM

ROH Snypers, 17x9 front & rear, with the correct offset, no adapters. They come in solid "silver", but who says you can't paint the spokes/centers black?

I've always liked the BBS RK's.

91ORANGEZ28 · 08-19-2008, 12:40 PM

Well the FR500's are 18"x 9" wide with
5-lug on 4.50" bolt circle,5.98" backspacing and a 24mm offset.

Not sure they would be a great fit on a 3rd gen but I wouldn't hate to have them on mine if they were.

noahTHEpurdy · 08-19-2008, 12:58 PM

My C6 Z06's.

RMK · 08-19-2008, 02:42 PM

You need bigger brakes for those wheels to fill the space.

omnipotentgoku · 08-20-2008, 01:21 PM

They make bolt on adaptor spacers with 2 different bolt patters, but usually they have a minimum thickness of 1.25”. With that offset they’d probably fit best with a 1” spacer on the front and ½-3/4” on the back… Maybe something custom made out of steel might work on the front (maybe like the “wave” spacers used by the circle track guys), and then a ¼” normal spacer and redrilled axles might work on the back (they’ll fit about like stock 16” wheels).

If that’s what you really want then I’d try finding someone who is making reproductions and see if you can get them without the center hubs totally machined and have them cut to fit a GM pattern.

Similar idea, I like my ZO6 rims, which may end up with the centers painted back depending on what color the car ends up (in the attached picture the car is sitting on jack stands, it really doesn’t sit that high)

Hey... actually, all of that was being used or about to be used, the closest thing there to trash was the pile of gallon bottles on the car and those were being saved to get rid of used oil...

okfoz · 09-09-2008, 10:10 AM

Manovox,
The largest Rim ANY 3rd gen had was a 17x9.5 and that was the Firehawk ALL other F-bodies was the 16x8, IROC, Z28, GTA, Formula, or Trans Am...

I am referring to the pic attached by kwijybow,

the car is of mr-iroc z and those are 18" iroc replicas baught directly from the factory before chromeing and were also painted as the original iroc rims and also polished!!

i did he same on my car but they are chromed and mr iroc z went to 11" rears and me to 10"

i am sure what am i saying

okfoz · 09-09-2008, 10:28 AM

By "Factory" are you referring to GM or the "Factory" referring to the Wheel manufacturer...

When I hear (or see) "Factory" I think the Van Nuys, CA Assy Plant or the Norwood Assembly Plant.

Where on earth did you get those rims. Can you get me details on these rims, please!

thanks

shinez · 10-14-2008, 02:06 AM

There are so many wheels that look sweet on the 3rd gen but my personal fav is polished iroc. I got so many looks i was not even funny

Toyota h8r · 10-14-2008, 02:25 AM

i wish i could find a set of rims i seen on a third gen on youtube. The owner told me they were "prime wheels" that are disontinuted

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWznfCAMMYM

the wheels that are deep dished on the red car

Screamin86 · 10-14-2008, 02:40 AM

hey thats my car

shinez · 10-14-2008, 09:23 AM

look on craigs list im sure that you will be able to find some on there

Fords88Bird · 10-14-2008, 11:38 AM

I think these. Later.

shinez · 10-14-2008, 12:27 PM

they look pretty nice but would look way better if they were polished

Dennis-Z28 · 10-14-2008, 10:49 PM

I love the 91/92 rims to everyones dismay. Just re-finishing them now...

They were white before and I painted the inners silver rather than the factory grey that should come with a black car.

its pic of when i bought the car last week. CURRENTLY it sits in a portable garage due to dads 66 nova is in main garage.

Doing motor swap in 32* weather is no fun....oh well....has to be done for spring right?

Josh R · 12-10-2008, 09:00 PM

I know i've always wanted ROH ZS RACING rims but they got discontinued. And I think its pointless not to get 9.5" rims on F-bodies because they fit. I'm probably going to get 38mm ZR1 rims and paint the centers gunmetal. SLP Zr1s are really nice but there only 8in wide.

Any body got more pics of ZR1 rims??? I can't decide to get them or not.

Stephen · 12-10-2008, 09:08 PM

Just get the ones you want, then ship them off to Weldcraft & have them widened (or narrowed) to what you want them to be.

Josh R · 12-11-2008, 05:56 PM

whos weldcraft? and are they expensive?
