excuse the mess...I did some wetsanding and buffing to the car today. Still trying to pick up after 8 hours of detailing...




if you like it good...if you don't like it good.

 

Wild stuff there. Nice rims, but where did you get those side vents? That's neat stuff.

 

Dude! I love the staggered look on your car!!

TT2 VS IROC replicas = pwnt.
----------
Forgot to ask, hows the ride quality with 20s on the rear?

 

Looks pretty good very nice

 

I was pretty sure I didn't like it before, now I'm positive I don't. Sorry, the car just looks way out of balance. It probably would've looked better with a 19/18 combo, but the 2 inch difference between the front and rears is a but much IMHO. I also don't like how the rear wheels are tucked, but the fronts have plenty of gap still. The car has all of that great effort into it, but it comes off as you "sold out" on the wheel combo.

Just my two cents. No harm intended.

 

Nice car for sure but those 20's are just to big.

 

Thanks for the opinions so far. IF there was an option of an 18/19 combo or a 19/20 combo...I would have much rather had that. But, 19's are not available. These wheels definently take different pictures though. A complete side shot, the difference is pretty noticable...but at an angle, it actually looks better. The reason the wheel gap is a little different is because I'm in the yard (not a flat surface). I woudn't say I "sold out" in any way. I'm going to run these for a few seasons, then hopefully get a set of BOZE or Intro's. I wanted to see how a bigger wheel would look on my car...and I still think they look better than the TTII's I had on there for 4 years. Plus, noone around my area have staggered wheels...besides the vettes and the SSR's. Anyhow, 2 inches is a big deal in diameter....if the 19/20 combo or the 18/19 combo were available...that's what would be on there.

this combo kind of reminds me of the "plymouth prowler"...but they run 17/20 combo..which is way to extreme for a third gen...

 

BTW Spike-Z, the 20's actually ride really really well. I was waiting for a rocky ride...but when I drove it...it was really smooth..especially for a 35 series tire

 

i want to love this..but the front gap is just a lil' too big. i do like it though.

 

this is obvisouly just a bad picture...I had the car parked in the yard..it's not on a flat surface. The gaps don't look like that when it's on pavement.

 

i think its badass man, f*** everyone else. they cant see it in person anyway. i think it gives the car a more sportier look

 

not bad but be much better in a 20/19 or a 19/18 setup... rear does look pretty big in comparison..but the car is nice looking

 

I like the car and the wheels, but I'm not a fan of the stagger. To each his own though and it looks like you put a lot of effort into it. >.< Very nice looking ride.

 

Agreed.

Beautiful looking car though...always has been.

 

looks awsome

 

Got the old rims ? Looks good!

 

sold the Torque Thrust's last week for $1300.00

 

not bad, not bad. isn't shawn also running 18/20's? I thought his looked incredible.. these... look... not bad. Theres just something about it I can't put my finger on.

I do think it would be better yet if you painted the inset lines. Photoshop it?

EDIT: I think its the image. The front left tire looks like its in a hole, and the drivers rear tire on a bump thus tilting the whole car onto the passenger side.

 

Shawn actually called me not to long ago. I got alot of information from him. Turns out, he is running a 19/20 combo. And that's what I really think people cant really put "their finger on". But really, in person, the rear wheels look bigger...but it's not like a huge difference..compared to the picture...

 

lovee it!

 

As Jay Leno says "rough crowd tonight"...if you like it I love it. I am more towards the stock side of things so the combo is not me but it is your car and the beauty of the thirdgen is that anyone make their car fit their dream...fourth gens tried that and it makes their cars look more stupid than the day they left the dealer...so go for it...

 

Without seeing it sitting on a hard surface like you say, it's tough to judge. Wouldn't an 18/17 stagger accomplish the same rake you're looking for or are they just too small for ya? LOL

 

Those vents look like the late 2nd gen camaro side vents. I actually doesn't look bad

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!



Remember in Braveheart when he realized that his friend Robert the Bruce had betrayed him? Remember the look on Mel Gibson's face? The pain? The anguish?

That's how I feel right now. .....and I only say that because I loved the look of your car SOOOO much!!!!

 

not bad.. would be nice if the fender gaps were the same.. nice touch with the ducts in the front fender.. never seen it done before..

 

Looks kinda cartoony and outlandish. I'd never ride with it like that, but then, I'd never ride with spinners or flames all over hte side of my car or Type R graphics either. Certain types of excess work with certain cars for certain purposes.

You look like you have a showcar, with typical showcar excess.

Nice car, I dont like the wheels, but the look does "work" for some reason.

 

i would simply fix the reverse rake stance and youll be set...yeah 19s and 18s would look much more balanced but the 20/18 combo doesnt look that appauling. I wish i was more of a camaro fan but im just not.

car looks great...keep it clean these cars are disappearing faster than ever!

 

hey thumbs up. i think 19's all round or maybe 20/19 would do it better but it doesn't look bad just not perfect. kudos to ya

 

agreed 100% but you know that too i mean you cant even get the 19's in irocs... i think it looks good though that 20" on the back looks awesome. im not digging the side vents at all though.

 

what ashame... the prowler and c5/c6 vettes look good because their body lines are designed to incorporate the raked look that a staggered size brings. while i still like the look of your car i was really looking forward to seeing a new set of wheels. this has brought the overall look of your car down greatly. to me that was a terrible choice but i've said it all along..

to each their own though, that's what opinions are for. i guess it's a good thing though as i now have a all black 91 with a ss hood and 18" TTII's so now it will be a little more original.

 

Wow man...your car looked really good with the Torque Thrusts!
Not saying that the IROC's don't look good (since I have them also), but I think the Torque Thrusts just really fit your car nicely.
In regards to the 20's in the rear, I would rather just stick with 18's all around. The car just looks off centered for some reason. Maybe get some new pics of the car with it on solid ground?
I am a big fan of the IROC wheels but the only thing that sucks about them is their limited width. Those 20's looks really skinny in the rear. You should probably think about widening them.
My 18x8's are in the shop now, waiting to be widenend to 18x11.
Maybe you can go that route?

 

I still think the car looks killer, but I would have just stuck with 18's all around. It's one of those things that you should keep if you like it and maybe it will grow on the rest of us. If not, at least you can say you tried it out..

 

Thanks for the honest opinoins


These wheels and the staggered look almost have to "grow" on you a bit in order to like it....or in order to even give it a chance. Like I said....from a direct side shot....they really aren't that appealing...but from different angles...they really give the car a new, updated look. I loved how they looked on the blue/white Camaro...which made me decide on the staggered look. From the side...it almost looks like those "Muscle Machines"...a little to dramatic. I was just tired of seeing the same style TTII wheels which every old hotrod around here runs. I wanted a more stock looking wheel....just larger. Most of the responses are exactly what I expected...so I'm not really suprised.

 

Well i have to say that i dont like the prowler and i dont like the wheels, I just dont agree with anything over 18's on a car.

 

Hey shawns whats going on dude? Haven't heard from you a long time guy. Anyways i still think that iroc replicas look awesome. You can throw on various diff kinds of aftermarket wheels and it will look great on your car anyways.

 

What are we waiting for where are the pictures of this setup?

I think the car looks good but I am really waiting to see a boze or something similar on your car!

 

My ....I friggin love it. I'd love em' even more if I could get the rears in a 10-11 inch wheel width. From what I've looked at so far anytime you look bigger than 17" you're stuck with a 8-9 inch wide wheel. Granted, my is that it does look goooooood but I'd like some really fat rubber out back if I'm running bigger than 17's.

 

Amen to that. I wish these were atleast 10 inch wide rims...with maybe a 295 out back. Anyhow, I may end up getting these widened...who knows

 

Im definatly not used to seeing a 2 inch difference. Reminds me of Jada Toys Cars.

 

From the great words of Camaroguy18: And I totally agree
I don't think they look bad....nothing to be "ashamed" of ...just not as clean having a 2 inch diamter change from front to back.
