Ta-Daaa

bought the rims and tires from a friend...all 4 for 100 bucks...Sweet deal eh?

any idea what rims these are? i think they are the Olds SSI Chrome (series52) from wheel vintiques but they dont offer that pontiac centercap...

anyidea what rims they are?

 

I think they were called the "Keystone" - Not too shabby of a deal I suppose, but your factory rims looked much nicer (personally speaking).

Edit: The reproduction is a Cragar "Keystone Klassic", but it's a little different.

 

Maybe factory wheels? Possibly off an old GTO or other late 60's-mid 70's pontiac...

 

I think they look good, The factory rims are ugly as hell imo. Id rather have a SET of black steel rims than those ugly factory ones. My step father had a buick with rims on it that looked exactly like your rims. i see you have A flag in your hatch, i used to have one their to cover my amps and sub in my well.

 

Wish I could get your stock rims

 

They are Magnum 500 wheels... they came stock on just about everything at one point or another. A true universal wheel. They look very nice though.

 

yeah youre stock rims totally own those new ones. To take iroc rims and put something nicer on your car is a challenge the stock rims look awesome!

 

I may be wrong, but I think his old iroc wheels he had on before were 15x7s and not 16x8s....am i right?

 

If they were legit factory IROC rims they should be the 16"s. I don't care if they were 15"s though, they still look much better than the new rims. I've seen some tasteful "preriod/era" accessory swaps before such as rims, but those look... [not going to be rude about a personal opinion] ...not as good.

 

actually his original rims may be 15s. They came standard as 15s on the later IROCs. The 16s of the same rim was an option

 

they look good

 

They look exactly like the rims on my dads '72 Buick GS350. Except his are 14" not 15". Some old skoo flavor there!!

 

Stock I-roc rims i have are 15's.... Sorry i dont think im gonan sell them i like Keeping all my stock parts... its an emotional attachment i guess..im sure some of you can relate...

i think im gonna put snow tires on teh stock irocs and keep the chargers for winter...

 

Sorry to say but IMHO they look horrible. Im NEVER one to pull the "trailer park" talk, but I gotta say that they definatley qualify. Im totally not tryin to be a dick here, but they honestly look terrible. Maybe if they were slightly larger, I dont know...

 

With the current color scheme of the car...i agree 100% they do look like ****..

honestly the only reason i bought them was i NEEDed new tires (mine were bald). Those Kelly Chargers are brand new. instead of getting all new tires i was offered all 4 rims for 100 and the tires wont fit my old rims...

so the way i see it i got good new tires for 100 and rims to match..

i plan on painting th car Black with the silver GFX. perhaps then the rims would fit in a little better. if not i have a soft spot for the Centerline Auto Drag's

 

sorry, i just dont care for them...

 

what size are those tires?

 

225

 

I think they look very nice. It is a nice splash of retro look on an otherwise period correct car. A big thing with these cars is picking a set of wheels that looks good, not many do. These wheels have a nice timeless style to them. I think if he polishes up the car, cleans and shines the tires, and takes some pics on a nice day, ti would look much better. But I like it as is, very nice.

 

No offense but they look awful. They don't suite the car at all. Even if you did get tires, I would have waited and gotten new ones for the stock rims. The stock rims look 1000 times better than those. Just MHO though!

 

omg i hate my self....as ugly as i know those are....the more i look at them the more i like it. I think something about the massive amount of sidewall that just does it for me are they 15" rims??? Definitly very 80's but its kind of nice to get away from the polished aluminum/chrome look.

 

They look like wheels you would put on after the stock ones were stolen to get the car home.

Save those for winter only.

 

I still love them. My only complaint is he needs to ditch the Pontiac centercaps and put on a set of black centercaps with silver IROC-Z lettering.

 

You find those centercaps for me pal...and ill buy them...

my stock I-roc ones wont fit it,....

 

This will work if you paint the outside black and leave the bowtie chrome.

Wheels 50/52/57 are pretty much the same. Most likely use the same size centercap. You can call the company and ask them to make sure.

not I-rocs

 

are your "new" rims 15s? if so you could have just put those tires on your IROC rims
