The look totally "BLING BLING", but it's your car-get what makes you happy.
You are asking the wrong crowd for an opinion on those types of rims....

Hay i just noticed, redraif has those wheels. She had to get special adaptors because those were 4 lug wheels.

What about these two? They're 5 spoke, but still have the curves in them that I like. Can someone photoshop these 2 on my car??

IMO Any 3 spoke rims and the rim right above this post are very 80's and I don't like. The rim 3 above this post is cool. I like racing rims more than artsy wheels.

IROC Rims
Just got a set of these 17 X 8 Polished IROC rims yesterday from Performance Wheel Outlet. I also got a set of 245/45/17 NITTO NT 555's to go with the rims. I think that these are the best looking rims that you can put on a 3rd gen Camaro, by far. I almost went with the 10 spoke chrome SS 17 X 9 wheels from SLP but I did not really want to use wheel adapters so I opted for the IROC's instead, plus I thought that the 10 spoke SS rims showed too much of the brake rotors, I dont know about you but I want the focus to be on the rims not the brakes. Total cost for the wheels & tires was almost $1,600.00. I will post some pics after I wash my car this weekend.

Hey Disturb,
What site still has them? I was told by everyone they were discoed. Niche must have held some back or sold to one place no one knew about.
I liked the Thrashers as well, I just thought they were to much chrome for a red car.
There were a set of Neepers I really loved. I think they were called Vaders. They were my second choice. They fit better with the styling of the third gen body style, but I had fallen for the Serpants. They were harder to get. The "you can't have it" syndrome I guess. That and I saw them rolling one day and fell in love. I wish I had a shot of the Vaders. They are a 3 spoke design with as little chrome as the Serpents, but the have sharper angles.
I'll verify the name when I get home and let you know. Maybe your place has them as well. If I had the $ I would have gotten them as well. For the next 3rd gen project when it comes.
Found some: Sabres N151 http://www.gutierrezenterprises.com...er/neeper1.html

If you can find them...
American Racing Hurricane or Hurricane II rims.
Centerline look great too!
I wish I could find a picture of the Hurricanes. Am I getting too old? LOL!
I remember it being a fad painting between the blades on the Hurricanes to match the body color! They really do look good.
