Wheel Preference

Can't decide if I like the 2002 z28 16" chrome wheels are the stock 15" painted wheels. Comments please.

Re: Wheel Preference

thanks for all the comments. The chrome z28 wheels and tires were free so I just stuck them on there. Anyway I now have the 2" billet adaptors so I could go with a lot more choice of wheels.

Re: Wheel Preference

Definitely go with the 15s.

I hate chrome wheels with a passion, and those z28 wheels look horrible. I hate chrme wheels and wheels with no dish to them so it breaks both my rules.

I also dislike 15 inch wheels, but for some reason teh combination of the white letter tires and the color of your car, it just works REALLY well...

Re: Wheel Preference

ZZ4 I agree with you 100 %. Can't beat the look of the stock iroc wheels on a third gen. If I could find a set of double line iroc's, which came on the 88, I'd get them in a heartbeat.
