ahhh, black on black... always a nice combo... The only way that car would be better is if were yellow with black rims

But I am biased

Those are actually stock rims for 76-82 Vettes

I don't particularily think they're a bad wheel for a thirdgen, if fully polished. Kinda small though....15x8" if I remember correctly. Had some for my 2nd gen.

87CIZ · 03-03-2005, 12:28 PM

i think one of these 3 would look good

Demon355 · 03-03-2005, 01:11 PM

Yea those black C6 rims look awesome

Saigon_Bob · 03-03-2005, 07:51 PM

I though the 80s were pretty ok, except for the music. Long stretch when there wasn't one actual musical instrument on most songs back then. Late 80s factory wheels on the Camaros were decent I think.

DTL504 · 03-04-2005, 05:16 PM

Here is what I have decieded to put on my Camaro:
18X8.5 w/ 245x40-18 Nitto 555
18X9.5 w/ 275X35-18 Nitto 555
Hopefully I will not have to use spacers.

OUTATIME GTA · 03-05-2005, 08:34 PM

85maroz28 · 03-05-2005, 09:51 PM

Hey OUTATIME GTA got anymore pictures of your car w/ those TTII's on there? I always wondered what that would look like! I am digging it!

OUTATIME GTA · 03-05-2005, 11:12 PM

Thanks a lot.
Just got them the other day after waiting over a month.
I had been wanting them forever to match the car.
They are II's with a gray powdercoated center.
I'll snap some more pictures later.

f355bird · 03-06-2005, 12:35 AM

They look good matched to the body color i thought about powdercoating mine the same design as u did except black to match my car. NICE CAR

Spdfrk1990 · 03-06-2005, 01:46 AM

82knightrider · 03-06-2005, 02:00 AM

nah, the D's have a different pattern, duller lip, not polished and aren't quite as flashy as the II's.

i'll take some close up's later.
thanks for the compliments guys.

Spdfrk1990 · 03-06-2005, 03:40 AM

I need to get me a usb flash drive on gt4 i put some bbs rims on the iroc with a black center and polished lip looks good.

82knightrider · 03-06-2005, 03:47 AM

85maroz28 · 03-07-2005, 10:05 AM

LilJayV10 · 04-30-2005, 12:32 PM

Does anyone have pics of the black ZR1 rims with the polished lip on a trans am? Preferably a white trans am

I have looked through the thread and havent seen any. I am starting to get intertested in getting some for my car and really interested in what they would look like. Also, I know this has been covered and I will do a search for it, but can you fit 17x10 or 17x11's(which ever it is) in the back? Thanks.

Awesome thread.

AdmAnt13 · 05-01-2005, 11:49 PM

Polished American Eagle Alloys: (old picture)

But goin to these very soon...

These will have to do until I decide on something better.

I agree with tamatt27, those black Z06 wheels are sweet with the polished lip

Dude, those are the same rims on my Escalade, but in 20x11. If it isnt, than its awfully similar. I post a pic when i get home.

Pyke · 05-19-2005, 04:18 PM

Graboid's wheels on that Camaro 'vert are Boyd Coddington's, but they are not the model previously mentioned. The correct model name is "Magneato". Found here for a pretty decent price:
Nostalgia Wheel
Nice cars, gonna be a tough job choosing for mine...

AC · 05-19-2005, 06:16 PM

Actually these or those (I've changed wheels 3 times)

camaro05 · 05-19-2005, 07:30 PM

gota love the RTs
I just need to get my SS hood painted now.

thats a nice wheel, i have them on my grand prix. i'm not for sure but i believe the lowest offset is around a +35 which would mean you would need combination spacer and adapter.

AC · 05-19-2005, 09:00 PM

Kandied, Your sig pic shows a bad arse Z from GM High Tech was that yours? I have that issue and that's a sweet looking ride. I truly am a fan of those wheels. After my drivetrain is done this time I'll be working toward another set of wheels, this time 18's. So far we approximate the engine will be 650+ hp at the crank with 14lb of ATI's boost and a good '749 tune.

Gr89RS · 05-19-2005, 09:45 PM

Yes that was his

Spdfrk1990 · 05-20-2005, 12:37 AM

Wow the red z with the vette rims looks bad *** man.

twolfe · 05-20-2005, 10:01 AM

06-20-2002 02:44 PM ?

I hate that Kandied car, its so overplayed........

I love it!!! Badas* indeed.
I vote for my wheel as one of the best looking wheels out there. The Smoothie 2's are so much cleaner than the TT 2's.

AC · 05-20-2005, 10:03 PM

spdfrk1990, that's my car in both pics. I have a pic of when I bought it in 01' with 20,xxx miles (1LE from Phili). That was about as optioned as you could find for a 1LE.

Spdfrk1990 · 05-20-2005, 10:13 PM

Send the pic here if you want spdfrk1990@aol.com

.
Yeh I figured they both were the same I just liked the look of the vette wheels on it better.

AdmAnt13 · 05-20-2005, 11:04 PM

Hey they look good on Escalades too. My ESV on 20x11's. Like i said above.

tsb09000 · 05-21-2005, 12:29 AM

They're not really my favorites but they're a lot better than the 15" american racing wheels I had before!
