Okay you guys, i am seriously considering purchasing these rims, and i would like to know if this is a good deal or if there is something else out there better for me. i really like these chrome irocs however i also like the TTII's but i havent found a good price on those yet. anywho, heres the link
another thing, i just bought new tires from costco they were 245 50 r16 i believe, will these fit for sure? thanks for the help guys.
EDIT: does anyone have pics of their maro's with the 16 inch chrome irocs. i am not interested in getting new tires so please dont tell me to go 17 or bigger. thanks for the help again.

i got those wheels on my car. mine are 18's though and were from a different person on ebay, but the quality of the american racing wheels are alot better than the other chrome irocs i think.
you prob wnt find TTII's for cheap. there a little pricy. chrome irocs look nice. i would look for 17's but 16's will work and will still look good.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR! i want them but i was mum on getting 16's b/c everyone is gonna say shoulda got 17's, shoulda got 17's, ya know? anyways thanks for the input
btw, witeiroc, do u have pics? and are urs 16, 17...??
The stock IROC's are sixteen, and I think they're the best looking wheels on a third gen Camaro. I'm not much for chrome though, and wheels are about the only chrome part that readily goes on these cars. (And if someone mentions the chrome fender flares I will chop off your mu!!et) I'm a big fan of polished aluminum though.
ya but theres no polished aluminum iroc rims that i am aware of?? as for the lowering the car comment, theres no way i would be able to b/c of the speed bumps by me, i scrape as is, and the last thing i need is a whole exhaust re-do
Those chrome 18's are sick, I have a set of polished IROCS I did myself, alot of work but it came out awsome. They are hareder to take care of then the chrome ones, caused they are polished. Mines are 90 IROCS
any pics u guys?? o and i checked their actual site and shipping was 60 on there, and 100 on ebay so i emailed the guy and im waiting for the response. seems stupid to me considering they r the same product, and they are shipping from the same place
You could probably go down to your local Autozone and pick up a set of chrome lugs for cheaper. You're gonna wanna get ones that are closed (for looks) so you might want to see how far the lugs stick out of the nuts. And AFAIK, all of the "sets" at Autozone/Checker/etc come with locks and a set. You can also grab some chrome valve stems in the tire section.
I paid a little over $1300 for mine. For the price...you can't beat them. But as far as quality....they do have some wave in them....and watch out cleaning the inside of them....because the edges are extremely sharp..I've cut my hand to hell cleaning mine. They are forsale if anyone is interested

The chrome iroc's look good but the quality of the wheel is not great but I am a huge fan of the TTII's you could call me a little impartial though I think I paid 225 a wheel and got the nitto's for 100 each
irocs are cheaply made wheels which is why i am getting rid of mine and getting tt2's. don't make the mistake i made. there is a reason why they are so cheap.

you must have got the cheap version of the irocs. the american racing ones are very good quality and are fantastic wheels. before i got them i saw someone with the cheap irocs and they looked bad. i was kind of scared to buy mine but when i got them and put them on they were great looking wheels. but thats just my .
i agree with that. american racing are the only ones to buy. everything else is the same. the 600 dollar ones or the 1200 dollar ones. it just depends on how far down the line the company selling them is. all junk...except the american racing ones. obviously because they are such a reputable company.
I have the 16 inch chrome Iroc's from American Racing on my 92 and I love the way it looks. I will try to take a pic for you this weekend and post it on here.
I LOVE these rims... I have 17's all the way around, check out my cardomain for pics... I would personally go with chrome iroc's if i was you... http://www.cardomain.com/id/BrOdBaNd
