Anyone know of a place to buy good rims for cheap??

I want to get rid of my IROC wheels cuz I don't like em that much. I bought a set of real nice 98 Trans Am wheels, then realized that you need different back spacing (stupid me). Where can I find a decent set of rims for a third gen at a decent price? I've tried eBay and there isn't much. I'm looking for 5 spoke rims. Anyone have any ideas?? Or if someone wants to trade for my IROC rims/tires or 98 T/A wheels that would work too. Thanks in advance.

I think if you just get spacers for those T/A rims they should work, but I'm not for sure cause I haven't done it. Check in the tech articles, I think there is something in there about 4th gen wheels. If not do a search.

Your 98 wheels will work with 2" wheel adapters. The adapters are about $ 300.

Yeah see that's the problem. I didn't really feel like spending another 2-300 bucks on adapters to make the T/A rims fit. How much is a good set of IROC rims worth anyways? They're the single stripe version. Thanks again.

Im in the same boat your in, I have 3 sets of 4th gen wheels. I would like to put a set on my 3rd gen, but dont want to spend the $$ on the wheel adapters. As for the IROC wheels, I would think $ 250.00 and up would be a fair price. Depending on the shape.
