which wheels? IROC, RT, or Snyper? need opinions

I need some advice for which wheels would look good on my car. I am going for 17". My car is an 86 SC, yellow with black striping on bottom, no ground effects, all stock. I have decided on getting some Chrome IROC's or go with ROH RT's or Snypers. I don't have a decent picture of my car so just visualize a yellow third gen.

RT

Snyper

------------------
yellow 86 Camaro
LG4 700R4
Pioneer head unit
Kenwood speakers
Infinity Beta Digital 300 amp
2 Infinity Perfect 12s

Now KYB equipped!!

in my opinion not too many after marker rims look that good on our cars, luckily i ahve my original 85-87 IROC rims and i couldnt be happier. i think IROC look best and they look better as they get bigger(17 & 18). but i think out of the three you're choosing from you cant go wrong.

I don't know if 17's would look any good on an SC w/o GFX..? But Ions91Z28 has the right idea posted...

Tommy: you definitely have a knack for using a camera... (from a photography standpoint).

BULLISH!
QWKtrp and 1991 Teal RS...you guys don't even know how sick 18's would look on a thirdgen.....true, it will take some work to make it look right, but the work is well worth the efforts. I can see a GTA with some 18' BBS rims....that would lick awesome.

Bullish!,
You haven't even seen 18's on a GTA. I have a pic of a GTA with 18's and it looks stunning. I will try to find it and post it on here.

Hey Mr. Iroc-Z, I went to your home page and seen your buddys ride, the redish camaro with the gta looking wheels with the 2" cowl. That car is tight, what year is it? What color is that red? What style wheels are they?

Thanks

Could you e-mail me>?

Hi GoFaster,
Those are american racing rims...16x8 and 16x9. I don't thik they make them anylonger. The car is the Factory GM auburn color. That hood was a one off production ..it had a 1.5 cowl hood rise. Unfortunately, he totaled the car not too long after that pic was taken. That car will be missed. It was simply awesome.
