Re: what wheels work
15's are pretty bad IMO. They look small and you cannot really get a wide low profile tire. Heck most cars today have 16-17s.
The small look and you'd really be killing the handling abilities--are 2 bad negatives--IMO
I like the 16" IROC wheels---they are a timeless design. TT2s are good for aftermarket wheels.

Re: what wheels work
I agree that 15" look a little on the small size as compared to what's out there on the open road now a days.
At least 16" to 17", in my opinion, would be nice looking.
I went with a set of 2001 Corvette wheels with 2" spacers on my '87 Z28 as I've always liked their style and I found a good deal on the via Craig's List. 17x8.5 on the front and 18x9.5 on the rears.

Re: what wheels work
I put 17x9.5 ZR1s with +56mm backspacing on my car. 2" spacer on the rear, 2 1/4" spacer for the front.
Re: what wheels work
