A Quick Question
Well it's too late now, but I just need a little input. I bought my 1989 IROC Convertible about 6 months ago and the guy I purchased it from had 20" Boyd Smoothies on it. He knocked off 3 grand without the Smoothies and I decided to buy it with the stock 16's. My question is, would it have been worth it to pay the extra $3,000 for the Boyds with rubber?
P.S. I would attach a pic but it won't let me for some reason.

EDIT: Also 3g's for those rims and tire if they were both in mint shape would have been a good price. I haven't checked the prices on the 20" smoothies but I went 3100 for my 18" boyds with rubber.

In my opinion, it looked pretty sick with the 20's. I still can't post the pic though cuz it's an invalid file. Don't know if it's possible to change the pic into a jpg file.

I sure would like to see those pics, but I think I would have done the same as you and saved the 3000 for other goodies, even if it might be a decent price for those wheels. Just my

They look ok but I would def take the money you would save and buy a nicer set as those just look alittle outta place. IMO
P.S. Somebody gots some nice Camaros.

Cool man, thanks for posting those for me. Yeah, I suppose they do look a little outta place. Well, I guess I've got an extra 3 grand and a world of ideas. Thanks for the input guys.

I think it looks pretty good with the 20s. However, I would have done the same thing you did and took the 16s and 3000. You can get a decent set of 17-18" wheels with rubber for under 2000 and think of how much those wheels must weigh. Not to mention I would be constantly paranoid about hitting a pothole or something and bending them.
