i don't think you will offend anyone. And if anyone does get offended, screw them. You may get some odd looks from people who know the car line well. BUt to each his own, if you like it, isn't that the only thing that actually matters?

Doesn't look half bad either

A dealer up here was selling an 85 T/A with 85-87 16" irocs, looked better to me the the turbo finned ones.

but an opinion is just that, if you like it go for it.

Well, as an Iroc owner I can say that it would not offend me, but I think it would look a little strange. If I didn't know any different, I might say it would be cool, but there's a 4th gen Z here running around with Iroc rims, and I can't get over the fact that it looks out of place.......kinda the same thing, ya know?

Ive got 15" Z-28 wheels on my T/A, and they look great on it. Do I care if I offend anyone? Not at all. IROCS would look good, but I personally like the look of the Z's better myself in all matte silver. If I had pics with these wheels on I'd post them, but all my pics are with my old 14" cragars.

I say go for it, my IROC wont get offended. Maybe you can find someone kind enough to let you put theirs on your car to see what it looks like. Or a photoshop.

I love this pic., maybe because theres hours of polishing involved in this one wheel.

I actually have those exact rims on my t/a but there only on the back at the moment.. i posted my cars pic somewhere on another message board i'll try to copy and paste it here. i dont have a digital camera so i have to have my puic scanned but that makes them too big so when i resize it to fit on the web site it comes out all blurry but anyway i'll try to get that pic on here

I think if you like it, do it. It dosent matter what anyone else says.

Can someone photoshop these two cars, please. The pics. arent the best, but we can get an idea.

Thats not too bad, but iffy. If the T/A were mine, I would have already swapped the rims to see what it looked like. But its not, so this is the best I can do. Well see when she gets back, wont take a min.

I've seen 91-92 aluminum 16s (camaro style) on a 91-92 green trans am, it looked ok, but out of place , i've seen taturbo's car (82 blue and silver camaro) with black crossed lace wheels from a bird that looked great
