these rims,,,

 

yes , if you polished and painted them, it would be a different story

 

IF you like those rims your in luck, they are cheap. I think almost mas many S-10s use them as Camaros do anymore(around here at least)

I dont know if you or someone else photoshoped them on, but they almost look like they were resized to look like 16" or 17" And then they rotated one wheel to make it look different

 

yeah the back was on an angle, and i had to resize and rotate it to make it look decent

 

If they came in anything larger than the tiny 15x7 size they would be okay. I hated those wheels when I had them on my car.

 

Those are the ones I used to have on The Grey Car...

 

i got a set them in my basement came w/ my car.
i tried to polish em up but couldnt get that grey outa the middles had sprayed on some aresol striper auto strip brand i think n didnt do nothin and wrie wheeled em edges were nice centers sucked.
so i chrome painted em and tried em on the car then tried ones was on when i got it liked them more.
stil thought crosses my mind to put them kind on tho.
i call em iroc or z28 wheels. mianyl iroc's

 

UGLY :-P

 

definently not my choice

 

Yes.

I think standard gold GTA rims are some of the nicest rims I've seen yet.

 

I like them. I also second the Gold GTA rims.

I think theyre alright. deffinitly some better rims out there. I like the gta rims too. Ive got some on my T/A. I do prefer em on firebirds though. they dont look right on camaros.

15 inch rims just don't look that great, unless it's a drag car and you have prostars or something. The best way i've seen those rims done is painted totally black.


also, why would you do gold gta's on a grey and black car with a grey interior? that's like wearing green pants with a purple shirt or something. i think the gta's would look a ton better in charcoal grey.

 

Like this?

 

im not much of a cambird person myself but the crosslaces look good on both the birds and maros..

i think everyone has a set of those wheels in there garage...
"Very 80's"



To each his own, whatever floats your boat, or finds your lost remote!

 

if you're willing to take the suckers out of my garage i'll GIVE you them.....

i havent been able to get anyone to take them off my hands.. i have all 4..

 

What? The GTA rims?

 

no.

the 15" 5 spokes that the topic was orignally about.

 

I always liked the design of those 15" rims but the size of them I don't particularly care for. They would look cool if larger diameter and width. I even did a drawing with 18" sized ones and I really like them.

 

I didn't find rims I liked until 92 #1 back then unless you got a custom offset none were correct and also there were no good designs available (of course 16 was still big then) I guess you can call me old school but I still think the stock rims looked good on the car

 

man i dont know how many camaros ive seen posted on this board that has thoose rims or another set of 5 spoke factory wheels.

no one ever sems to say anythgin bad about them either.

 

you know, i really like those wheels. here are mine painted black with the edges "polished"(not really, just sanded clean) and i really like the way they turned out. i plan to buy another set of these to put a set of drag radials on.

 

Thats nice, but your windows look strange in that pic, whats going on there?

 

it was early in the morning when i took that pic so the windows are kinda fogged up...i live in GA, humidity is freakin' crazy man.

 

Ah, that can happen here in the summers now and then too when it gets hot and humid, and yeah it can get quite hot here in Finland, just a few hours away from the artic circle, thats why I always make sure to park my car under a roof for the night.

Last summer I measured over 100F in the sun, ofcourse it was "only" 98½ in the shade, I do think it was some kind of record really.

 

Back in the day I bet they looked great

1986CamaroSC, I think if the car is low, it could look OK if the rims were really clean. But anything sub 16"... Just doesn't really do the trick

 

Those were on my car when I got it I like the design but 15" was just tooo small... and I had the 16's on my other car so I swapped em. I think theres some companies making "iroc" rims that actually look more like those in larger sizes, but I could be mistaken

 

I like these better...

 

I'm not really a big fan of saladshooters, but they look a lot better ona 3rd gen, if it was lowered abit they might look a but better too

 

Here too... In fact, there's an 88 S10 in my driveway with those wheels on it

I never liked those wheels on my car. The 15" wheels just don't look good anymore. They were nice decades ago when 16" was considered massive, but they're dated now, in a bad way. The 3rd gens need at least a 16" wheel to look balanced IMO.

If it helps any, the later Suzuki and Geo/Chevy Trackers used a nearly identical wheel in 16". I'm sure they'd fit with adapters.

 

I still have four sets of the 15s and still use 2 of em. That is until the chrome IROCS get here in a few days. Then ill only be using 1 of em. I still like them for racing purposes. They can look nice if you do them up right, and use the center caps.
