Anyone know where to get these rims?

Hey does any one know what kind of rims are on the car in this picture, where I can get some, and how much they cost?

http://easyspeed.crosswinds.net/easy...es/3rd/078.jpg

And if you guys are feeling really nice, could you photoshop some of those rims on my car?

here is a pic of my car when the previous owner had it, I've cleaned and fixed it up alot since then, but's it's the best picture I have available for this:

Thanks!

Those look like chromed IROC rims, not sure where to get them. You could find a set of IROC rims and get them chromed.

BTW: Is that Amorget's (sp?) car. I remember it was on eBay, and I think he said it was his. Any current pics of it? I hope you removed one of the two spoilers at least.

Hrm, it could just be the picture, but they are either chromed and it's not too bright/sunny outside, or else they are REALLY highly polished.

Yeah, this WAS AmorgetRS's Car,

I bought it from him about a month ago....I never heard anything about it being on ebay though. I have decided that I am going to keep the Z28 High-Rise Spoiler and take the RS Spoiler off, which is going to happen in about two weeks when I take it to have the old holes filled. Other things I have done (or are in the process of doing) are: I added power windows, locks and remote keyless entry, I added my stereo equipment, I changed the rims and center caps with some nicer looking grey on black 15" Z28 rims, I am also installing new door panels and leather seats as soon as I find some for a good price. I am going to start modding it this summer to get some much needed extra power out of the 3.1L V6. But overall the car is a very good car that is a real head-turner (so many people have stopped me too try to buy it from me =], too bad it's not for sale!) and I am very happy with it.

They have to be IROC rims, they look too big to be 15" standards

Yeah definately polished 'ROCs. Look at the indentation down the center, not to mention the noticable size change.

In my opinion the only way chrome looks really good on a car is if the car is shiny....and most of our thirdgens have lost their "shine" after their 10-20 years of life....though some of the pictures above look pretty good though, but personally I would rather have some painted or polished rims....
