BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims - Page 20 - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Good point about the original wheels. Here's a pic of my car with the originals...

Here's what I got put on tonight. Sorry the pics suck but it was getting dark and I was using my crappy phone camera.

And you're absolutely right about still being 5 spoke. But I'm sure you knew I was speaking about the typical 5 spoke designs like most of the ones in this thread. Just straight spokes with some kind of grooves in them.

So next I'll be fixing a couple problems with the engine this weekend then the body work will get done about a month from now.

i like them

american racing has 85-87 Irocs in chrome. You have to get them machined and painted to look stock again. There is somewhere you can order them raw aluminum though. I don't know where.

1firebird1 · 01-28-2009, 07:50 PM

Here is another picture of mine, better taken...i love them...they are 17" torq thrust M's

Jigga2142 · 01-28-2009, 09:22 PM

I think that the stock design looks best.
Jus Go BIGGER and chromed

Pictures? I haven't seen the '08 wheels on anything. What replica company are they from?

...okay. Maybe I'm missing something here but those aren't '08 'vette wheels...

aren-z28 · 01-31-2009, 04:58 PM

c5 z06 wheels

91camaroplaya · 01-31-2009, 09:11 PM

i say theres nothing better looking than the iroc replica rims by american racing... i have got nothing but positive feedback at every show for them... not to mention if you wanna shop with a budget you can get all four mounted balanced and delivered for under $1100 CANT BEAT THAT.

Al Hasse · 01-31-2009, 11:24 PM

Replica C5 Z06 Motorsports on my 89

I have a set of these going on my 92 next week - MB Vintage, 17X8, polished finish.

wgripp · 02-02-2009, 06:08 PM

Has anyone ever tried to get American Racing to make 18 inch replicas of GTA wheels? For 1100, I'd DEFINITELY buy a set

auto-x1990RS · 02-05-2009, 02:00 AM

anybody know what these rims are??? they were on my RS when i got it

Al Hasse · 02-06-2009, 02:33 PM

Josh R · 02-24-2009, 06:43 PM

I LOVE ROH ZS racing rims

bminnix · 02-24-2009, 06:59 PM

When I first searched through this site, I saw the burt reynolds car with awesome rims on it. They were like my stock ones but with circles integrated within the crosses(a lot more shiny though). Anyone know which ones I'm talking about? Im not sure how they would look on my trans am but tey were awesome.

Ozz1967 · 02-24-2009, 08:14 PM

Has anyone seen a 3rd Gen or 4th Gen with the 1978 to 1982 C3 Vette Wheels? They were slotted like the rally wheels but deep dish. I thought I saw a picture of a car on this site with them but I can't find it for the life of me.

Stunt Double · 02-25-2009, 07:56 AM

wow - there are some fantastic looking rims on this thread. i'm rolling the american racing ar23's on mine. they were on there when i got her, i've never even seen my stock rims.

Do you have problems with the tires rubbing when turning? I would imagine you do. My tires already rub with the 245/40/16. My 87 vette had the 275/40/17 on all 4's.

Patrol32 · 03-04-2009, 04:05 AM

I think the best looking rims on a thirdgen are the Boyd Coddington Espada, and this Justin's ride is the best looking thirdgen ever

89ROC-Z · 03-15-2009, 11:13 PM

I'm getting 17" Iroc Replicas with a 245/45 tire once my car is out of paint. IMO its a good resto/mod look, kinda what my car is.

liljon285 · 03-15-2009, 11:55 PM

Swapped rims with my 89 since im dailying my 87(above)

box_chevy · 03-22-2009, 02:03 AM

Hey man FlyingLow's 89 GTA is by far the sickest firebird i've ever seen. EVER. the reason i like it so much is the clean, sleek look. and those wheels, man, just complete the package. once again, killer ride and keep it safe!!!

I believe they are ccw Wheels. SP20's

I want a pair of ccw wheels so bad, but they cost a fortune. I'll end up rolling on some c5 0r c6 vette replicas.
