IROC's vs GTA's?

Well, its been a long time since Ive posted.
Ok, Im thinking of getting a set of IROC rims of the 85-87 flavor, but the idea of the black GTA rims with a high polished lip came into my mind. Which rim, in your opinion, would look better?

As much as the IROC rims look amazing on the car, the GTA rims look good on either. Choice is up to you, but if it was me, I'd go with what the car came with. But than again...

Need, make up your mind man!!!

Wow, its nice to see all the old faces...well, screen names.
I keep looking at Willie's 87 Z28 vert, and he has a set of polished IROC's and I think they look killer. There is a guy selling a set of them. The clear is coming off (doesnt matter) and outside of a little smudge, there is no curb rash. Only thing is that it doesnt have the "IROC" center caps, just bowties? Found that odd....anyway, So far it looks like the I(ROC)'s have it. Its basicly gunna come down to price. How much do a decent set of IROC rims go for?

And Fly'n, your car is looking awesome. Thank G*d you got rid of thoes rims...I stare at them every day at work now and I think of your car. Sounds like a b*tching car!

If you go with the '85-'87 IROC rims, you can get them in either the factory finish or chrome and in 17" and 18" as well. So that gives you even more options.

As for the GTA wheels, I've seen a lot of Camaros with them, and they look great! That wheel looks natural on just about any car.

I disagree. Not that good of a look. I photoshopped these and used GNX wheels, but the look isn't that good on my car. I vote IROC wheels.

Im kinda leaning to the IROC's because there is that guy that is selling a unmolested, non-scratched set of IROC's. I have yet to find a set of black GTA's.

Thanks for the nice words, and after seeing ScottMoyer's photoshopped picture, I'm gonna confirm my vote for the IROCS...
