This Camaro is lowered too.

330hp_91RS · 03-13-2003, 10:41 PM

Did you happen to see that car at a Super Chevy show??

Or was it a local car/ local show...I believe I have seen it before.

Abubaca · 03-13-2003, 11:20 PM

Haven't seen it in person.

A few pics of this car have been floating around here ever since ronal put the wheels back on the market. I just right clicked and saved'em.

I'm pretty sure I saw that car at the Super Chevy show at Pomona CA. I mean there can't be that many IROC-Z's with firehawk wheels that are lowered and that same color can there?

BTW: It's lower than it looks and it's really a clean bad azz car.

transam305 · 03-14-2003, 02:25 PM

that car looks sweet!

FyreLance · 03-14-2003, 02:31 PM

I think that car looks beautiful as is.

Cornflakekid · 03-14-2003, 03:08 PM

Here is an image of that Iroc with some
info on it. Sorry its kind of a bad scan.

Cornflakekid · 03-14-2003, 03:18 PM

One more.

Abubaca · 03-14-2003, 08:50 PM

I don't doubt it was at a Super Chevy show, But that's not were I got the picture!!!

that car is BADA$$ if you ask me. That car had the rims before they were on every other Thirdgen. Kinda feel bad for Hawk owners...

A88GTANotchback · 03-14-2003, 10:41 PM

That car looks damn purdy. if i had an iroc my decision would be made. they look good on ta to but only on 91-92 it seems

330hp_91RS · 03-31-2003, 02:35 AM

That's the car I saw. It's bad to the bone, awesome. The funny thing is that he got beat by a 91 rs convertible at the show with a 305 TPI in it and a cowl hood, otherwise the car was crap. I was pissed, that car is killer, I saw it at a Super Chevy show in Pomona CA.

Spdfrk1990 · 03-31-2003, 03:43 AM

i love the stance of that car i want mine to sit like that. I think the hotchkis springs have to go and get some eibachs or somethin.

How did a 305 TPI beat a 383 with 375HP?!

transam305 · 03-31-2003, 09:27 AM

it was at a car show right? it prolly got beat by that thing in it's class but still i would imagine that, that car would desimate all at a car show that's hard to beleive that it got beat in show. and on track.

85maroz28 · 03-31-2003, 12:28 PM

Bollox's car. I love it looks so bada**

Snow90Camaro · 03-31-2003, 01:31 PM

i've decided.... i want firehawk rims MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :hail: :hail:

transam305 · 03-31-2003, 02:40 PM

i like the tail lights on the black car are those legal? the rest of the car is awsome too nothing like a black car.

Spdfrk1990 · 03-31-2003, 02:42 PM

the top pic the lights r red

transam305 · 03-31-2003, 02:45 PM

so i'm guessing that, it is a photochopped job or what?

Spdfrk1990 · 03-31-2003, 02:47 PM

most likely

transam305 · 03-31-2003, 02:48 PM

well ain't that some crap.

bollox · 03-31-2003, 03:25 PM

Yeah one of my f-body friends wants me to get clear side markers so he photochopped them on and did the tail lights.

Yep, thats my chop, unfortunately no one makes tailights like that...

RMK · 04-01-2003, 07:32 AM

The main reason that I like these wheels is that they are 9.5 inches wide and don't require spacers. I just wish someone made an aftermarket 9.5 inch IROC wheel.

chrissy · 04-01-2003, 08:53 AM

:hail: sweet car :hail:

Hey rmk check out braid custom they do any shape size design width.

RMK · 04-02-2003, 07:56 PM

chrissy

Do you have a web site or phone number for braid custom?

Also where in the UK are you located?

Thanks

Robert

chrissy · 04-03-2003, 09:31 AM

can you tell me what issue (month and year) that is??

lane · 04-03-2003, 08:11 PM

Here's mine. Bought the car with them already on. They say 17X8.5 on the back so I don't think they are 9.5" wide. They have 275/40s all around.

IROC57TPI · 04-03-2003, 09:58 PM

lane please tell us more about the custom headlight job

lock · 04-03-2003, 11:57 PM

Im just not a fan of those wheels. Am I mental? There are several other wheels that I fell look much better.

lane · 04-04-2003, 01:54 AM

There's a headlight thread somewhere, I forget where it is. Anyway, the lights are chevy celebrity lights, simple cut out, fabbed a bracket, and bolted in.

I'm not a big fan of these rims either, but I like them because they are sublte and give the car a more stock appearance.

transam305 · 04-04-2003, 09:20 AM

i think the rims just the style of them set the car off i mean i just looks natural on that car like they should have come with the car all in all they look really nice!

Deemax · 04-04-2003, 05:52 PM

Lane...looks sweet. Have any trouble with those tires rubbing at all?

lane · 04-04-2003, 07:06 PM

Rubbing? Not really. I can turn lock to lock without hearing any "bad" noises, but my front swaybay is shinny in a small area. Right now the front has 1/2" spacers so I think it used to rub, but the previous owner put the spacers to solve the problem. My car also has the baer track kit with the floating rotor, so I don't know if that's why the spacers were needed.

85maroz28 · 04-04-2003, 10:20 PM

Lane more pictures please! Nice car:hail:

Here's another pic, or did you mean pics of the rims LOL

I can take some side shots later.

85maroz28 · 04-05-2003, 01:19 AM

I meant more pictures in general!! I want more of the outside too:hail: That is plan bada**. Seems you got yourself a real nice ride there. Did you do it yourself or did you buy it like that and if you did how much did u pay? Lets have as much info on it as possible:hail: :hail:

Deemax · 04-05-2003, 08:00 AM

Lane...is that the stock ride height, or is the car lowered at all? Thanks.

MetalliCamaroRS · 04-05-2003, 12:19 PM

Lane- any pics from the side? My tires are shot, so I might get some 17" rims and tires while I can and am trying to decide what to get.

lane · 04-05-2003, 11:30 PM

Here's a side shot.

I bought the car pretty much as it looks for $6500. It's kind of a lot , but I didn't mind spending that much cause the car was pretty flawless inside and out with only 32000 miles. Ususally I don't like buying other peoples "projects", but this is my 3rd thirdgen so I knew wht to look for and the previous owner spared no expense. It needs some paint in a few areas, but no big deal to me.

Since I bought it, I did the headlights, tinted the windshield, added a recaro seat, re-did the alarm, re-did the exhaust, added a holley commander 950, and dropped it an additional inch. It has eibach springs, but I didn't take note of which type they were when I cut them.

I think 17s are a good size to go with. Just make sure you get the right offset.

OMG THAT CAR IS AMAZING! IM SOO BUYING RONALS FHWK WHEELS!!!!!! :hail: :hail:

Thirdgen89GTA · 01-22-2005, 08:07 PM

The reason the ronals look soo good on a Camaro is that it already comes with a fat, 5spoke rim to begin with. It doesn't change the lines of the car at all, but the deep dish rims sets it off, and gives it a more agressive stance.

Its hard to put words to just why I like it. But I love those rims on any thirdgen. Oh yes, I do.

CamarosRUS · 01-23-2005, 03:58 AM

lane thats a beatuiful ride. ive always loved the look of the firehawk rims on camaros. there was a white one with a polished set ive seen and it looked so amazing. then someone on here has a set of the chrome ones and they look MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!! but i cant find any pics

mw66nova · 01-23-2005, 09:00 AM

you know, from certain angles, they remind me of the wheels that came on the impala ss's
