I say an ad for some but I'm not sure what they look like. I know what the IROCs look like. Are the Z28s the same as the RS wheels?

Thanks. Those are the wheels I wanted. It was between those and IROC but I like those wheels better.

I can not agree, but to each his own. I have both sets, on a set of 92 rims with the racing tires on and 86 iroc rims custom painted with my street tires on and I think the car looks sooo much better with the older IROC rims.

Most people don't realize how good the 88-90 IROC rims look on a 91-92 car, it's REALLY REALLY sweet.

The 91-92 rims are the biggest pain in the butt to clean. there is paint in all of the grooves and if its the slightest bit dirty you can tell. I would go with the IROC rims.

Good point (cleaning). I'm also eyeing a set of 88 IROCs. He said the front are 7" and the rears are 8". Is that correct? I always assumed that all four were 16x8 ". I knew they were marked front and rear. is that why?

Those wheels are standard on '91-'92 Z28s and optional on '91-'92 RSs. My RS has those wheels.

the reason they are marked front and rear is because they have different offsets. also rotating the tires costs more with 91-91 RS/Z28 rims because they can't leave the tires on the rims and switch them they actually have to take the tires off the rims and then switch and remount the tires
