I have scoured the UK for the pre 1988 IROC Z ones and are now fully restored and on. Very pleased with them!

Thanks to all the guys whose pictures I have borrowed!

I'm a big fan of the 88-90 personally. I drool over them. Hey, one quick question for everyone. I saw an IROC today with 15 inch IROCs. I've only seen two like this in my life. What year was the 15 inch IROCs offered?

1 then 3 then 2......and there was never a 15 inch iroc wheel. in 85 the iroc still had the 15inch z28 wheel and then changed to the 16 inch wheel in 86. ask your dealer if you need further proof.

Here are the pre 1988 wheels;
I'll have to vote for that one, not only because its my wheel, but because I think they just look better. Especially polished. I'll pat myself on the back, thank you.


And ther were 15 in. IROC wheels made, I believe only 88-90 models got them as a base option, its in the Tech. portion of this site somewhere.

I've got one
88 was the only year for 15"
car was a 305TPI when It started. you can call it a low option car.
no Pwr seats, no Pwr mirrors, no center roof bag (or whatever you call it) no optioned center rear view mirror
but it has T-tops!!!!

I had to vote for #3, since it is my wheel. Although, I like
both the Iroc styles, I like the dished look of the 91-92 style.
I also have to agree with StngKlr I especially like them polished. .
I just wish they would make aftermarket 17 inch versions.

Dgravois, I don't need to go to a dealer for proof. I seen them with my own eyes, up close, and personal. I know they exist.
Thanks for the info Biker. I about tripped out when I saw the 15's. And you say that 1988 was the only year they were offered. That just tells me that they guy don't even have a clue what he's got. he said it was an 89. Had the poor IROC sittin outside rusting, and I DO mean rusting while his boat sits under a shed.
