What about 18" IROCS like Mr. Iroc Z?

I really like the look.... I don't know how hard it is to get them in there though.



Sorry modem guys.

I don't think the American Eagle 18"ers are TOO bad, but I do like the looks of 18" IROC wheels.

BUT, they HAVE TO BE chromed, personally. They just don't look right to me when they're bare aluminum with the black stripe.

BTW I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys.. but the eagles are chopped onto the car... and pretty badly I might ad. That is not what they would actually look like. They IROCS actually are the original pic.

I like the polished look of the 17's with the black/grey accents. If the whole rim is nothing but chrome....to me anyways...it looks cheaper....like all the chrome runs into eachother.....it would be nice if you could get a chrome set...with the back/grey accents.....it looks like Mr. IrocZ did.....

i like the originality of the 212's....

i was against 18's for along time until i got my own. they really do fill the well nicely and give you plenty of room for upgrades as well as set the car apart from anything on the street.

either choice is nice though!

you will probably never see another third gen with those 212s, which really set the car apart in a good way, in my opinion.

They both look good, but I absolutely love MrIROCZ's wheels. The 18" IROC(not chrome) are the best.

arent the irocs in that first pic 16"? i remember seeing that car somewhere online with it saying 16" wheels, i think the 17" irocs look pretty dam good if you dont want to step up to 18" hehe, i have 3 pics of them from these boards, but they are in a paint file and its too big to attach, lol
