I have admit, That looks pretty good!! But think about something, what if the owner had got on this message board, and asked what IROC wheels would have looked like on a 4th Gen??? We would have never known, huh??

I think I'm the one against it. Not sure if it's the stance or the picture, but it looks too bulky for those wheels. Looks more like a tank than ever before. I'm a fan of the 98+ fourth gens, but I don't like those wheels on it.

Wow, I guess the IROC wheel really is a timeless design. Looks good on every generation.

I wonder if somebody altered the front wheels or if the camera angle hides the goofy offset?

Too shiny... I don't like chromed rims that much... looks like a good design for the car though.

Jim, I was thinking the same. Much of the tank like view. I like the chrome, I like the wheels, just wrong car.

i hate those 88-90 IROC rims. On any car. Maybe some clean but not chrome or polished 85-87's would look good.

Heh, who knows. I'm sure there is someone here who can photoshop it though. The car looks too bulky for those wheels. Maybe it being lowered, or something would help, or a better shot. I think the 91-92Z wheels would look better on it than those...but then again, that might be ugly as well.

Yeah, South Park rules! But, I actually was using the Screen Name on stuff for a long time before that.. because it actually is another way to say "Rock, Paper, Scissors", and I decide stuff that way.

Im glad you liked that Tank photoshop job, It took me longer to find the picture than to do that crappy little job, but I couldnt resist

1) That looks gay as hell

2) Maaco, or some budget paint shop did a horrible job on that thing...that's a damn shame on a '93-'96.

3) yuck...

I think it looks better than the original stock rims, without looking too aftermarket.

The Rocks on the tank don't fill up the wheel wells.

Acualy the new Camaro needs more rubber to fill the 'wells. But awesome anyway! Congrat.s to the polisher!!!
