I dont know what it is about those rims, but I really like them. I say go for it. You can pick up Iroc wheels alot easier than those. I would take em for my formula rims...

I just saw the video. I'd say you should keep it man! His iroc z is cooler if he just get rid off his rims, seriously.

Re: Need advice! trade or keep!?!
I had those same exact wheels back in '98 on a GMC Sonoma. They looked good on the truck. I'm not diggin them on the car though. Mine were made by Eagle Alloy, and IIRC I payed $350 for the set brand new.
Oh, and they're a PITA to keep clean.

Re: Need advice! trade or keep!?!
Dude,
Don't ever get rid of your stock iroc rims. If you want other wheels just buy them and store the stock ones. I would love to have a nice set of factory 88 iroc rims but they are getting hard to find.

Re: Need advice! trade or keep!?!
i'd say get them i had a similar set on my iroc but like you i eventually got bored of them so i moved on. irocs are easy to find, unless your stuck on an all original theme(not most of us are) or else you can polish up your irocs and powdercoat them, but why waste money on a set f rims your bored of.
here was mine a year or so ago 17X8 american racing rims

Re: Need advice! trade or keep!?!
keep your stockers hard to beat the look of the single line and double line iroc rims in my opinion

Re: Need advice! trade or keep!?!
mannnn, those would look AWESOME if you wanted your car to look horribly dated to 1995!! Then throw on some SWEET blue/purple/turquoise wavy decals...
do yourself a favor and keep the stock rims, big difference between dated and timeless.
*edit* D'OH! didn't read all the way down and see you already made your decision, but good choice on the ZR1's!
