Looking for set of rims

I am looking for a set of rims. This is a bit new for me but looking for rims to actually fit 88 monte carlo for someone else as a birthday gift.

I don't know what style you're looking for but we have a nice set of 91-92 16 inch Camaro wheels available on our website. I've seen them on Monte Carlos before and they looked really good.

Re: Looking for set of rims

bbtaz97, thanks but have a feeling I can't afford the ones you have, but would like to see pics.

Thirdgen Ranch, these are what I'm looking for but they seem to have a bit more chipping/peeling than I am comfortable with. This will be a gift so I'm hoping for very little peeling. You have anything else?

They are in good condition but they do have some normal chips and flaking in the clear. Unfortunately, you're going to have a hard time finding wheels that are nearly 20 years old with good clear coat. We do offer wheel polishing/refinishing. We smooth out the machined surfaces of the wheel and polish them to a mirror like finsh. They come out looking GREAT but it may be a little more than you want to spend. You're looking at $500 for a polished set.

Here's a picture of a set of IROC wheels we just finished up for another member.

Re: Looking for set of rims

Let me think about it, I may very well do that. Also, they are silver, correct? What do you charge for shipping, or can I arrange? Lastly, how long will it take to refinish them.

Yes, they are silver. If you give me your ZIP code I can get you a shipping price. Refinishing time depends on how busy we are. We've got Thirdgen Fest coming up in a couple weeks so we're going to be getting really busy soon. However, it shouldn't be a problem to have them out by the end of next week if we can get started on them right away.

UPS ground on them will run about $35. Also, we're only about 40 minutes south of Chicago if you wanted to pick them up. Sorry, we've got some nice individual tires right now but no sets.

Re: Looking for set of rims

I have decided I want the rims unfortunately without the refinish. Let me know hopefully you still have them, I want them shipped since I will be out of state and can't get there to pickup. 35 is total for all 4?

Yes, I still have them. The $35 shipping price is for the set so you are looking at $285 shipped. We accept payment by Paypal or money order. Our Paypal user name is dennyb@thirdgenranch.com. If you prefer to pay by money order let me know and I'll get you my address. Thanks!!!
