im thinking of putting a set of iroc's on my 90' bird. how would that look? anyone have any pics?

 

i've seen pics before, and imo they just dont look right. I think you're better off getting GTA wheels.

 

theres someone on here, he has a late 80's trans am with 85-87 iroc wheels, i think it looks good. his car is red with silver gfx. i think itd look really nice on a black car

 

I've been debating on this for a while too - only because the irocs are available in 18" size. If they made black GTA's in 18", I'd buy them in a heartbeat!!

 

well the only reason im considering this is among the few pieces im keeping from my iroc, are the wheels which i took great care to polish. so i already have them, its just a matter of weather to sell them or keep em. im just looking for opinions. one the one hand, they dont seem to fit with the pontiac styling, but maybe thats because being a TGO member, im just not just to it. on the other hand, they are 5 spoke highly lusterous rims, which look good on any car.

its a heated debate, in my mind anyway.....

 

transamtbi on the boards has the earlier iroc rims on his bird

 

hmm ill have to look that up. thanks

so what other kinds of rims do you guys think would look good? i like the 4th gen 5 spoke chrome, but i dont want to fork over the $ for spacers. other ideas???

 

its transamtbi that i was talking about in my previous post

 

Heres an idea. Since you have the wheels and you have the Firebird, why don't you spend the 30 minutes putting one of the IROC wheels on the front and back of one side of your Firebird and see how you think it looks? Hell, you could even take a picture to post to help someone out that is thinking of buying the wheels to put on their Firebird....

 

30 minutes..sheesh, i could do that in under 10..lol i just took off all my wheels and painted my brakes in under 30

 

ah yes but here lies the problem. 2 cars, 1 jack, 1 pair of jackstands. id have to borrow another pair to do it.

plus i never got the hang of posting pictures

yes i know, im technologically challanged

 

for jackstands, use bricks, or other stuff u can find. it would help though if u had 2 jacks..oh well i guess. and to post pics, use the attach file, click browse and find it then click open..volia

 

last time i tried bricks i lost not only a brick but also a brake rotor after it smashed into the pavement.

 

i have 89 IROC wheels on my 87 GTA. They look ok, but i like the GTA wheels better..now if i could only find some.

 

yeah i like GTAs too but like i say, i already have the irocs. and anything would look better than the stock firebird wheels on there now. for some reason GTA wheels never seem to turn up in scrapyards like irocs do. maybe they made less of them?
