That came to my mind, at least they're not gold.

I'd say don't do it, I would laugh if I saw those on a 3rd Gen.

Only if you get 13x8's with 175/80 tires. Oh and they have to stick completely outside the wheel well.

Dang, 82, that Camaro of yours is sweet! :hail: Are the ground effects the ones in the Classic Industries catalogue? Also, where'd you get the testarossa door panels? Nice car! Notice also, bOOTh_000, no wire wheels...

I actually saw a 91 or 92 camaro with those rims TODAY. I cringe when I say this, but it didnt look THAT bad. I sure as hell wouldnt put those on my car, but its your choice.

i am usually against wire wheels but ACTUALLY
at a car show last year I saw a nice black 89 IROC drop top lowered a bit nothing ***** or anything with some chrome 17" wire wheels CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN not a spec of dirt... looked like 17x8's anyhow with nice rubber I must say it actually looke dreally good.

not really my style though I'd rather go with polished Z06 wheels or ZR1's or something.

Garett

PS: think about polishing your stock rims? do a search on the board for polished rims... they look great i'm polishing my 92 Z28 wheels should look nice when done

wire wheels are cool as long as they aren't super undersized (13s, 14s) and don't stick out past the body with chrome mudflaps trying to cover them.

I really dont have a problem with wire wheels as long as they aren't way to big or way to small. Did anyone see that black vette with wire wheels Chris tucker was driving in Rush Hour. That thing was sweet.

ok... i just finished laughing my damn *** off at the guy who wanted to use those Wab, wanna be pimp, cali gang banger, cheap ***, "el cholo" wheels. ahahhahahahahahahhahah

the other guy was right.. dont forget the curb feelers,
the metal mud flaps that stick out sideways, the red green and white windshield fringe, the chain steering wheel and matching chain license plate frame. the pep boys gold(or silver) wheel arch covers and matching gas door cover. oh and last but not least,

PLEASE DONT FORGET TO BLAST THE "BANDA" music from the Jensen head unit.
