evilemokid94 · 03-01-2010, 10:22 PM

im mitch, classic industries huh? i think i have a magazine coming in the mail from them,

are these wheels very expensive?

Drew · 03-01-2010, 10:35 PM

You can get generic caps and aftermarket look alikes on Ebay dirt cheap. JCWhitney used to sell cheap generic caps for $20 a set.

The wheels are really common. $100-200 is about average. $200 would be for a mint condition set with caps, lugnuts and/or covers, etc.

I got my caps off e bay for $30.00 but there knock offs.

Mark.

localman72 · 03-08-2010, 08:04 PM

yes if you can find them about 350 each oem wheels are very hard to find new.

evilemokid94 · 03-08-2010, 08:08 PM

i took out they scratches yesterday and cleaned them up, what can i do to polish these up? in afew months im going to try to get some clear on them to make them really shine

58mark · 03-08-2010, 08:15 PM

to make them really shine, you will have to sand off the ridges. they are very fne, but they take a rough sandpaper (60 to 80 grit) to get rid of. after that go to 200, then 400, then 800, then 1500.

Then you can use a dremel took with a rouge bit to polish them up.

yeah, it's a lot of work, but I did it in a few days

evilemokid94 · 03-08-2010, 08:21 PM

ok thanks for the tips mark, but i have one last question, what color center caps did these come with? i found some silver and some black ones but i cant remember what color they came with

58mark · 03-08-2010, 08:25 PM

black, with a sticker in the middle that either said camaro or Z28

be careful there are two different kinds of rally caps out there, on is for the 14" wheel and one is for the 15" You want the 15" with METAL tabs. some are plastic and they aren't work a darn

Before you go buying from classic, ask around here. I bet somebody has a set

localman72 · 03-08-2010, 08:26 PM

iam looking for a 85-87 yellow iroc-z i will trade a 91 mustang for it this mustang is very clean 5speed red black interior no rust runs and drives great the paint is about 2 years old if you know any one who has one please call me 574-361 3013 thanks

58mark · 03-08-2010, 08:27 PM

here's the kind for your wheels, but I can't tell if they have metal tabs or not. I'm not saying the plastic ones are worthless, but the metal ones will stay on better

Just a question, I have a 1988SC with 15'' silver wheels and center caps. The car is all original but the center caps say IROCZ in them. Do you think GM messed up by putting the wrong center caps on the car?

kens86 · 04-02-2010, 07:01 PM

i scrapped 3 sets of those wheels 2 years ago.

They same way you just posted here. Just open that forum up and put your for sale info in it and save.

I am surprised the forum mods have not moved your post.
