hey, i need some wheels for my thirdgen...

15-18" wheels pics please!

i really want 15" or 16", but if 17 or 18 look nice, ill get em. im sick of these stock bad boys. so many people have nice wheels on thiidgens, but since there is no featured rides yet, i cant see them.

help me out please

thanks

 

I think that you should go bigger than stock or else they won't look that great. I used to work at belle tire and all the cars that went with bigger wheels looked better. What kind do you want? chrome? Silver? Try to go with at least 17. 18's I think would be better. I want to get 18's or 19's when I get the cash.

 

email me and ill send you some pics of mine

 

i like chrome or polished style. 15s and 16s are nice in my opinion, but if the 17-18s look ok, ill probably get them. i like the Progressive Pro 58 and Pro 278.

sometimes wheels look different in the magazine advertisement than on the car. ive learned that the hard way

This month's Super Chevy has a 91 or 92 shown with the Torque Thrust rims. I'm still deciding if it's what I want for my car, but I definately do like how they look if they are 17" or maybe 18". Any bigger or smaller looks goofy.

Dont waste your time with 15" rims, the bigger the better for performance and looks.

Guido, how much do you want for the SS rims?? (they are 17" right??)

im either getting 16" progressive Pro 58's, 17"-18" weld racing/ billet specialties/ colorado custom/ boyds/ budnik/ etc. billet wheels, or 18" irocs.

if anyone has pics of whells like these, post them please! (or any other type of wheel that might look good.)

 

hey guido are you selling your ss rims are they 17x9 1/2 im interested in them if they are let me know by email mark28v6@excite,com thanx

 

you might want to talk to some other thirdgeners before you go for 18's on your car. I here its a pain in the a$$ to get the car to sit right. I just went with the 16" chrome IROC's cuz they fit easy and dont have any problems. I wouldnt go any bigger than 17's. Just my opinion, its your car though so do what you like

 

Those Zennetti Sting Rays are CLEAN!!!!!!!
if I had the $$ i think i'd get those.

Hey here is the Super Chevy article..
17"
frnt..17x8 4.5" backspacing 255/40r17
rear..17x8 4.5" backspacing 255/40r17

frnt..17x8 4.5" bs 255/40r17
rear..17x9.5 5.5 bs 285/40r17

frnt..17x9.5 5.5bs 275/40r17*
rear..17x9.5 5.5bs 275/40r17
*may require a small amount of grinding on the tie rod ends.. matters on the wheel and its clearance..

those are your best options. and i personally wouldnt go any bigger than 17" especially if you lower your car..

those measurements are with the car lowered 1"

and the TORQ THRUSTS dont look that good on our cars. there are better..but its all personal opinions.

posting pics? can someone explain how to do it so we can all post pics happily ever after

 

I got a set of 16" 86 trans am and 87 formula wheels , i actualy 6 of them they all go for $150 plus shipping .

 

CRAGARS look reallllll sweet along w/ most of what everyone else said. Real "old" muscle car looks give a third-gen one mean *** look. Get 15's in the rear so you can put a tall tire (perhaps drag radial) on them in the future. And 15's or 14's for an aggressive stance. I don't know how to post pic's either

I meant "15's or 14's" for the front. And 15's in the rear.
