Wootah,

Your maro looks real good with the dark centered wheels and silver lip. I really like that look. The tinted windows set off the wheels nicely. Good job on the car.

I like black or gunmetal wheels as long as they have a polished or machined lip.

yup, got it off ebay, I think they are only $440 for a set. They would look awesome on a black IROC, I was thinking the same thing.

I may have to do another search on ebay, but most of the gunmetal sets I've seen are all 17x11, which would look pretty wierd on the fronts of our cars. 17x11 on back is ok, but fronts.,.... hmm..

Got a photo chop on my bird someone else did...

Was thinking about bigger wheels for my bird, since my chrome serpants don't come larger then 17. So in the process was debating on what finish...black? yes no? Thinking about 19s or 20s!

Dead crawl right now. Been doing things on RAIF bit by bit.

The Dually was stolen and we got it back less the tranny and engine. So it was no longer my back up car, so I started on another that has been more urgent and eating time away. A new daily driver...the 87 Pulsar! Then I don't have to worry about RAIF meeting the Dually's end. Plus with gas prices so high and having to run Premium, I about can't drive him as a daily driver anymore. $30 a week on gas if I only go to and from work! Thats before this next gas increase!

Then the dually whose motor is at the engine shop now. Then the 82! I never wanted it to take this long!

Here is the link to the black wheels

They are CCW: Complete Custom Wheel
3-Piece Classic Modular Series in anodized Black

Got anymore pics of that targa...or a link to a thread about it. The 82 is going to be a targa notchback. I'm wondering what people have done to targas as far as a top for them!
