late model S-10 wheels



Any one ever seen these wheels on a maro? I think they would look good, I also think our center caps will go on them?

Anyone know the size/ backspacing?

They are the same as stock 91-92 Z28 wheels. Just the center caps are different. The Z28 caps will pop right in them.

They look ugly on thirdgens. I have an s10 like that, but blue. I put them on, and it looked terrible.

I had those last ones on my T/A for about a week. I borrowed them from a friend to make use of the Nitto Drag Radials that were on them. they looked pretty cool on my T/A actually. No spacers are required for them, but they did stick out a little more than my crosslace rims do. It was noticable from behind. They're the same 8" width.

I'm pretty sure that's just the center caps fooling you. I've seen a set in person on one of those sonomas and the wheel design looked identical.

4th Gen caps (from the salad shooters) would work too, by the looks of it

The caps used on the 91-92 wheels are the same as those of the 4th gen salad shooters.

I saw a set of those S-10 wheels on a truck down the street one time, and was wondering if they came on that truck from the factory, and if that bowtie center cap would fit my wheels. Well this thread answered a lot of questions. Wonder how it would look on my car...

In case you guys didn't notice, that's a GMC Sonoma. Those caps are GMC caps.

Although I believe their are bowtie caps on the later model Impala wheels that fit the 91-92 wheels.

Whats a Maro???


Anyhow I had S-10 rims just like that on my 88 CAMARO--they were off a S-10 so threy had the Chevy bowtie centre cap.

These rims are 4 fronts though. The rear stuck out a tiny bit but looked good.

Are the S10 rims that are clones of the 91 92 "anniversary" rims 16X8? As for the Impala center caps fitting the maro rims, my dad has a 2k Impala so I'll find out in a minute here for you guys

I think those Xtreme wheels would look good if they would polish up... Anybody know if you can polish those out?

I'm glad I found this thread

I think I'll be shopping around for S10 wheels to polish up

other than the fact that maro with the extreme wheels needs a drop and the rims stick out a little too far i like the extreme wheels on thirdgens.

OK, the early s-10 rims are just the same as the 16x8 anniversary rims that I yanked off mine and still have sitting out at my painters after 5 months. The xtreme wheel would only look good painted black/ dark grey with a highly polished lip because it does have a pretty nice lip. The good thing about people wanting to do these swaps is that they bolt up without spacers. yah know those SLP ZR1 style rims? They bolt right on the s-10's too. Altogether though....I couldn't stand knowing I have truck wheels on my RS. It would just feel creepy.
