New IROC wheel advice needed
The OE 16 inch IROC rims must go. I'm shopping for a new set of 17 or 18 inch chrome or polished IROC rims and need some advice so, please help me out. If you have a new set of chrome or polished IROC rims on your car that you purchased, I'd really like to know who you purchased them from or who would you recommend? Also, if you happen to have a pic that you could include that would really be great.
Thanks!

ehh, I think that appearence is far too comon. Polished 18''+ IROC-Z rims....blackout tail lights and headlights. Most of the people I see with that look at the people who are into RAP and add DUB or 18,19,22, ect emblems on the side front fenders near the door.
I have a set of aluminum polished 2nd Gen IROC-Z rims 16" i'll be getting rid of them when I have the car painted and all the body restored.

Dude, your post makes no sense. As Far as my car goes, its no where near anything close to being like a Dub car. If you saw my car in person, it looks pretty much stock except whats under the hood.

18" IROC-Z polished rims here...and yeah..I like rap, amongst other things.
Not sure what kinda point you are trying to make? 18's can look nice if you know what to do.

ive got 17"s and i really like them for my car i wanted the chrome but i do like the stock looking 18"s like that vert up there but i think the chrome looks better than a stock looking wheel would on my car.
and i occasionally listen to rap but i dont think it looks like a dub car although i really really like the dub car models i wouldnt mind mine looking like one of those.
