Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Way cool !!! |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Those look great. Wish they would do 91-92 camaro wheels 17x9's |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! NICE!!!!!! When are ya gettin 'em on the car? |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Yeah if they made a 91-92 camaro wheel I would have a hard time not buying like 6 sets of them |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Me too for the 91-92 z28 wheel ! |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Unfortunately they’re not going on the car until spring. Three rims were perfect. But one rim has pit marks in it I don’t like. I emailed them. I hope they let me send it back. Edit: They already sent me a return label to ship the one rim back. This is why I'll always continue to do business with Hawk's. Great customer service. |

I would like opinions . The other choice I have is on the center cap , what is general opinions there as the original cap was a cast cap and the new ones will have to be a billet which adds cost or we could do a open lug stlye wheel too which I think would look cool but not be period correct. Give me some good honest opinions guys !. Thanks Bruce I think this should be a new thread to really get some input. I would love to see a rendering of the open lug style wheel. It may not end up being a Ronal, but a hawks original wheel instead. |

Since there isn't another thread yet.....I'm all for a set of 17" 91/92 and would probably buy at least one set right away. As for the FIrehawks, I have them now and love them just the way they are. I have 285s on them all the way around and think they look great. If there was an option to get 18x10, I may consider buying two of them for the rear only and run 17s in the front. I've always been a fan of C5 and C6 wheels on these cars so I like the staggered look. Obviously my vote for a center cap on a 18x10 would be an exact duplicate of the current Firehawk reproductions so that you could mix and match them. |

DOH!!!!!!!!!:doh: Not directing this frustration towards Hawks at all, but going all the way back to my talks with 6LE well over a year ago, it just seems like I'm destined to NOT get new wheels!!!!! Don't they know I NEED to spend money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol :) |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Buy some gold GTAs to hold you over! Then, when the gold IROCs are in, you'll have a spare set of wheels. |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Any status on a gold tone version of these? |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Any status on a gold tone version of these? Me personally? I was really hoping to get these up and running for the '19 spring/summer hot rodding season. Looks like that's not gonna happen. I'm redirecting my efforts/finances to a list of other things for this year. Can't say I won't whip out the credit card and make an impulse buy when they come out though!!!!:doh: |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...3beab197e4.jpg Renderings of our 17x9 85-87 IROC-Z replicas that are in the works. Bottom left gold is the color we're aiming at for the gold reps. This is the same gold we will offer on our 17x9 88-90 IROC-Z reps as well. Questions? Give us a call 864-855-2694 between 1-5pm eastern time Monday-Friday |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! I can wait a few months for the gold. These in gold are just going to look awesome! |

Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!!

Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Good news is that I finally got all four wheels on. Bad news is that we are dealing with some nasty weather here, so I can't get the car out to snap some decent pics.... https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...704ad5bd02.jpg |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! Looks good! ....thanks for the pic! Not directed at you Manic, but I'm still dying for a few good, outside shots showing the whole car. We all know the wheels look good, and we all know 17" is a good looking size, but how it all fits together isn't always a given. (not that I'm worried about it though!). Hawk's had the one pic, but it was on that players car with the all logo decals. Odd choice for a demo car in my opinion, but hey, it's all good. |

The before and after on the Player’s car doesn’t look too drastic, but I’m surprised they didn’t use a stock looking blue or red IROC or something (just because Black accentuates the wheels more).. |

Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! new hawks irocs looks great on your Camaro! |
Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a set of these new wheels. I’m wondering how many TGO members bought a set? I’d like to see more pics with them mounted on different color cars to see how they actually look. I was trying to stay away from the Chrome but man they look sweet too, especially with the double line design. I think that makes a big difference when it comes to chrome. A question I have is everyone seems to go with a 275/40, i was thinking a 45 sidewall isn’t that that the normal height with a 17” wheel? I like to go with more sidewall/ tire if possible... |

Re: 17x9 IROC wheels coming from Hawks!!! In a 45 series tire, 245/45-17 is the same diameter as the stock 245/50-16, so it, too, is a "correct" size. Ideally, it's for 8" wide wheels, with a fitment range from 7.5" to 9" wide. A 9" wheel is the maximum width for that tire, making it a slightly wider tire than it normally would be. So it will fit the new 17x9 wheels, but with a slight stretch, which would probably present a more modern appearance. So if you like such an appearance, then go for it, as it would be a perfectly acceptable wheel/tire combination for front and rear. Some people use 245/45-17 on the front, with 275/40-17 on the rear, for a staggered set-up. Personally, I wouldn't want staggered, but it's not unusual. Also consider that a 275/40-17 is, ideally, for 9.5" wide wheels. A 9" wheel is the minimum width for that tire, slightly drawing its center inward, making it a slightly narrower tire than it normally would be, possibly giving the sidewalls a slightly "bulged" appearance, just the opposite of the slightly stretched appearance of a 245/45-17. But all of those things will be minimal for either size, so it will just depend upon what you prefer. Here's a 255/40-18 on a 9.5" wide wheel. Ideally, it's for 9" wide wheels, with a fitment range from 8.5" to 10" wide. You can see that it has a nearly flush fitment, with barely a stretch, for a very nice, modern appearance; it's also an easier fit than a 275 tire. So a 245/45-17 on a 9" wheel would have a similar appearance, but with just slightly more of a stretch than the tire in the pic. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...b2abc1d1d5.jpg |
