Thank you! Most people didn't know that the IROC wheels were actually an option on the IROC package.

Nice, how much (if you don't mind). That car is nice, and make sure you keep it good too.
What I've learned from owning my second f-body (one third gen, one second gen), is don't get your head too big about making everything "performance". Be smart of what you do to the car.

Nice man, very nice.
As for names, I use to call me white RS of all things Snoopy. It started as a joke and stuck. And yes as in the cartoon and from the songs Snoopy Vs. Red Baron. After all how many cars have a theme song.
I am also looking to name my Blue trans am but not sure yet.
Again very nice car.

paid 4g's even for it.
I really dont like the current wheels too much and I'm thinking of buying these for it.
The only thing is there very expensive..900+ bucks! ouchy... Plus I'll have to buy new tires because the new wheels would be 16" vs. the 15" I got on there now..So very costly apperance upgrade.

[/IMG] WOW, you don't see an Iroc like that very often, No Power Options, 15" wheels, am/fm radio. Very Nice I like personally. So I take it it's got the 305 TBI then? very reliable motor, and gets great milage.
I have only seen 1 other Iroc like that, I was selling the guy some parts at Checker (When I worked there a few years ago) and had to show him how to install the air filter LOL

The wheels shown in these pictures are 16" i believe, but I'd like to have 17 inchers that look like the picture on the right...someday!
Last time I checked, they sell those wheels in a polished aluminum finish. I personally like that, with painted inserts, more than the chrome.
Forklift, she's lookin good. And I named mine Jenny.

very sweet car man, hardtops are hard to find! is that car an Lo3 or Lb9?
there wasnt an RS in 1988. those were standard option wheels for 88 IROCs. in 89 15s were standard as well but they redesigned them to look like the bigger 16" versions.

Hey allright! Crank windows and manual locks and hatch are the best! Seriously, I will never change my IROC over to power anything.
Yeah, Ive seen a few IROC's fer sale around here with TBI. Theres an 87 around here with TBI, power everything, and a 5 speed goin for $4000. I tried to talk him down, but he just laughed at me and walked inside. So DONT BUY FROM DON WASHINGTON! Hes a *****.

Looks nice! Like they said, keep it nice and dont go all "performance" on it. I did, boy that was afew thousand later and a car that is on stands right now. Go with the 17"s, 16"s have horrible choices for tire sizes. 15"s have more choices than 16"'s do. If you ever want to run wide tires, 255 mm is the widest you will find (BFG had 275/50/16 until they killed the comp t/a's....) any ways you will like the 17"s more, better handling, more sizes, beter handling.... etc... PLus 16"s are a dying size, most alloys seem to be going 17+ from factory now...
