They are off of new S-10 pickups, some models with the RPO code ZQ8 or something like that, IIRC. I believe GM Parts Direct sells them. They will fit our cars. Not a bad wheel at all either.

You know, if they weren't so ugly, they might actually look good.

No hate here... it's just the cheap looking chrome center cap that throws the whole balance off since the entire wheel is silver/grey. The spokes would look a little better too if they were more flat instead of parabolic (IMO).
It's just not an appealing factory wheel (like most).

Aren't you one for just mocking him?

Anyway, those rims off a late model 2WD S10 do fit a thirdgen (some pics floating around here somewhere). I think they're pretty decent if you can find them cheap.

Does anyone have the pic of the whole car?

I happen to love those rims! ...not as much as my Irocs though...

I chopped this a few months ago. Since my Irocs are gold....If I ever got those new zq8's...

Would look better as 17s......

I wouldn't buy them new, but they aren't too bad if you could find them used for cheap.

I think they work perfectly with the 90-92 Camaros, they look like they belong there!

LOL, Did you see the "j/k", or were you too quick on the draw? Just messin' around. Oh, and i agree about the center caps, there is something off about them since nothing else on the wheel is chrome. They are a cool design though and would look better in 17s. Same for the Irocs, a nice 17x9.5" would be great, not the 8" versions! They look like spare tires from the rear. They need more meat on them.
