They look great in black... not so loving them polished but tgat really sets it iff

 

Finally got corvette CCW wheels on with adapters.

 

I'll never understand non-80's-style wheels on our definitive 80's-style cars.

I hate all these huge sporty/wanna-be/ghetto wheels I'm seeing everywhere...

 

hot wheels

 

Tire choices are drying up for stock wheels. And most the selection of good looking, direct fit wheels that were available in the '90s are no longer in production. The reality is that the primary source of affordable new wheels are for modern cars with high offset so a lot of people end up with those wheels.

 

Heck, it's even getting a bit difficult to find our bolt pattern outside of expensive, custom wheels!

 

there are a lot of very ugly 80s styled wheels as well,the chrome trailer wheels are the worst of all time imo.the feather/20 slot 15" wheels with no lip are horrid,the kitt bowling ball wheels are nasty and small diameter snowflake wheels leave a lot to be desired.that being said i do like the formula high tech turbo wheels(20 slots) with the lip and the cross lace gta wheels and am a big fan of several bbs/bmw style wheels.




i hate the non dish 15" version of these but i dont mind these rims though:

 

Ole Skool....



it does need buffing.....

 

those look sweet,i love the torque thrust 2's with the grey center too.
here are my "old school" style summit 521's(weld look alikes)

the pic below are my latest wheels,bmw m5 wheels for $380,i couldn't resist and i could actually afford them,lol.
jus

 

I thought I posted in here but guess not. Here's mine. Been riding on this setup for 3 yrs. Switching it up this summer.

 

Miro 111?

 

Here is two pics of my S77's

 

What are the specs on that combo? Looks perfect!

 

Same style but these have a lower offset for that concave look.


Dai Autobahn in 20's

 

those rims look stunning,the nice bird also helps(is that a formula?)

 

 

...

 

 

iroc rims in a larger size,ronals,anything by bbs,centerline,welds,boyd's theres so many.

 

They make a 17 inch cross lace wheel now. I run c5 wheels on mine basic grey not really pretty but light and my tires fit, 4th gen rear out of a 00 Trans am

 

 

those look wicked and i really don't think ive ever seen them on anything.
go for it if you can,they will look great imo

 

were are you in ontario?im in the k.w area,nice looking machine.

 

Very nice. Size and width of rims and tires?

You selling?

 

I'm really enjoying the look of the Hawks GTA wheels on my B4C.

 

Your car would look hot wearing hubcaps!

 

Those look killer!

 

Finally got the wheels i always wanted. I think these look great on thirdgens.

 

what size are those? car looks great i"m debating on these or the s71's in 17x11 for the rears

 

Stunning car and the wheels look perfect

 

Thanks. They are 18x10. I debated going qith 18x11 but i prefer the wheels tucked rather than a flush look. I had my 9" rear end shortened 2" on each side to give a deeper lip and had to go with a high pad wheel to fit the gen 6 camaro brakes.

 

thanks for the info

 

Looks great neighbor. I have to find some 18" tires, already have my rims.

 

What wheels do you have? Neighbour?

 

I just mean neighbour because we are both in Ontario. I have some XXR 18X10's I'm waiting to put on.

 

Pretty happy with my new wheels. All 4 are 19x9.5 with 275/35/19 tyres all round.
Best of all they are direct bolt on with no spacers/adaptors

 

18' Iroc Style.

 

My grandpa use to say. "Wheels make the car". But i also think the wheels go with the overall style of your car. Im new to thirdgen but ill say all your varieties of builds look great with the wheels you chose. Me though im into old school nascar for my car. I went Bassett Racing.

 

is this street legal? it definitely is cool as heck,you need some hand painted numbers and decals

 

i absolutely love this look,what wheels are those?

 

not digging the black wheels on much of anything,reminds me of Mennonites approach to car building.paint everything black,done(windshield and headlights included,lol kidding)

if you are 10-20 feet away from anything with black wheels they look the same to me,could be my 55 yr old eyes too.polished lip with black looks great.IMO of course.

 

Wheels are bassett inertias. 15X8 with 3.5" backspace.
Yes car is street legal. And yes i do plan numbers and decals. But im still trying to get it finished first. Roll cage, big brakes, new rear end are on my list of todo's. Plus i dont mind letting the paint cure a little longer before putting decals on. Thanks for the like. Wasnt sure how it would ve received...
Only just finished the body and paint work about a month ago.

 

Ditto!?

 

Where did you get the widebody from? Looks great!

 

Actually its the fiberglass body panels from the 1980's ASA and ARTGO racing series made by Fivestar bodies.
Ive got a build thread under drag racing and autocross you can see it a little. The panels are made for a race car and took a lot of trimming and fitting to make work. But as you can see totally doable. Baloughs car as seen here was actually on their catalog page.

 

that is wickedly cool,would love to see more of these or build one myself.....total roundy round baddassery

love this look and the scca look,low,wide body,caged,aluminum interior all business

 

the ugliest wheels you can have on a third gen are those feather 20 slot 15" pontiac wheels,god almighty they are ugly as sin.




i have a set of original 16" high tech turbo wheels but they are never on the car,they are not what i really like.anything 18" or smaller looks great
on a third gen,ill be the first to admit i dont like the "donk" look AT ALL.............

 

I hauled a nice set of Formula wheels off for scrap I couldn't give em away. $50 in scrap was well worth it to me.

 

i picked these up for $120,at least they are the 16"x8 rim with the lip

 

Come on you dont like Dubs... LOL
Yeah me neither. Compared to this the potiac wheels look pretty good tho.
