Gotta get 16x8 wheels, any suggestions?
I found out today that 3 of my 4 polished IROC wheels are bent, so it's time to find some new wheels. I'll be sticking with 16x8s for now since I dont want to buy new tires. I'm looking for some wheels that I can get for pretty cheap.
So far I'm thinking:
single stripe IROCs, polished
2 stripe IROCs, polished (think I like singles better though)
91-92 Z28s, polished
black GTA crosslace, outer rim polished
Any other ideas? If you dont know what my car looks like, here's a link: http://www.webphotos.com/list_photos...&smi=1&a=50326 Hopefully it works, if not, try to cut and paste. I'm on probation so I cant post pics
sorry mods, had to throw thaat in there.
I thought about some plain 4th gen 5 spokes too, not salad shooters but those other ones. Those can be had for pretty cheap but spacers cost a fortune.

I'd much rather have the polished IROCs and then maybe the 4th gen rims, plus that will give you the escuse to get a 4th gen rear to put on your car rather than getting rear wheel spacers
How did your rims get bent?

Right now I think I'm leaning toward black or metallic silver GTA wheels. Can I use Camaro centercaps on these?
I bought my IROC wheels from a guy in Jacksonville, Florida. His email address was james86ta@something.com, cant remember exactly. He sold me the wheels bent apparently, and the have just become more un-true ever since. Dont do business with this guy!
Anybody selling wheels?

That's funny, it thinks the "something" is part of an email address
I remember this guy's name now too, James Betts. He drives a Mystic Teal 4th gen Camaro with an SS hood, 10 spoke SS wheels, and the car runs 11's in nitrous. Stay away from this guy, he's a bad seller

Thanks for the pics!
I think I'm going to get the GTA wheels. I've already had the one stripe IROCs. Why not use this opportunity to try a different wheel. I'll probably paint the centers a metallic grey like on the old Rally Wheels.
IS ANYBODY SELLING GTA WHEELS???
