'89 IROC Wheel Restoration Info?

Anyone have any correct details, or even threads, on IROC wheel restoration? I have an '89 that the wheels need redone. Halfway thinking to send them off, but I would like to do them. No damage, but the usual clear coat is peeling in spots.

Re: '89 IROC Wheel Restoration Info?

I recently bought a set refinished wheels from wheels_tires_more on ebay for $430 shipped for my son’s 89 iroc. I had to return 2 because the clear coat was too heavy. They replaced the wheels no charge and I’m very pleased with the service and quality. You can see them on his Blue 89 in the photo section.

Third Gen ranch also has them and they look very nice done.
here is a link:

Good luck with your wheels

Thanks for the links. Looks like an option at least.


I was hoping that someone on here has refinished their wheels and I was trying to see how that went, where to get the paint codes, etc. I just want to be prepared for when I decide on what to do. If I do mine, then I'll get a scrap wheel to practice on first.
