Which Wheels?

I thought I would try and get a consensous from the camaro owners on this board before deciding which wheel to go with.
Wheel #1 is a DIPx 18" wheel @ $161 each, and wheel# 2 is 16" chrome Iroc wheel@ $187 each. Which would you put on a freshly painted black 88 Camaro with a cowl hood and Silver med. metallic stripes? Also, the size tires for these beauties would be 245-50-16, or 18. Just how wide is that tire?

Thanks in advance for all your input.

Re: Which Wheels?

Id go with the first wheels unless you spend the money and get 18" IROC's. I think the 16's are just too small.

Re: Which Wheels?

I'd pick the IROCs, but I'd get at least the 17" IROCs which I have w/ 255/45/17.

Re: Which Wheels?

I like the first ones, they seem "deep dish" wich looks cool. and the irocs are a little small + every one has them on black camaros!

Re: Which Wheels?

I hate the rivets in the first set. The IROCS look good...but go atleast 17". I'm running 20's in the back and 18's in the front (IROC's)...pretty happy with them so far

Re: Which Wheels?

I agree. 16's are a bit small. They don't make them in 1's for smoe reason, so I would have to go 18's, which is more$
