Hi, I'm new here and i need your help in deciding what wheels to get for my car

My car is a 1992 RS camaro. It is purple haze metalic with custom cloth grey interior. With a 3.1 V6 but it only has 52,000 original miles. It's my first car and is my pride and joy i want new wheels but don't know what to get. It has the 15 inch stock silver ones on it i was thinking maybe 92 Z28 wheels or chrome irocs. What do you guys think i should get?
Thanks in advance

If this pic works could someone please photoshop some rims for me. IT IS NOT MY CAR but identical except for the wheels

I think some 17" chrome Irocs would look sweet on there.

Thanks for the input. I still don't know what wheels to get probably i will get chrome irocs but i'm not sure they will look good on my car. Could anyone please photoshop some chrome irocs or TT2's for me. I am located in Missouri.

rims

I'm partial to polished aluminum....

some guy that lives upstairs said he had access to the 85-87 iroc rims(single stripe) chrom dipped and I'm not that interested...

rather polish the ones I have... (even if they have a few dings)

The TT2's were my 1st choice but they were way out of my price range.

How much money are you looking to spend?

A reminder that wheels with 4th gen backspacing will require adapters which go for around 300.

Try and get a set of wheels that you like that not too many people have.
On my T/A, I chose these OZ Racing Monte Carlos,

anyone see the ad in Super Chevy magazine for 20 inch rims for a camaro and firebird, thats pretty crazy if u can fit 20s on these cars. I would be too scared to ride them around in NJ, these roads are horrible. I wanna see some pics of what they look like, its a little small ad that has 20 inch milans, kinda look like cobra rims, and they are 1049 for silver, 1139 for polished and 1549 for chrome, pretty cheap, but it would look weird i think.
