i was thinking about getting new rims, i have some cash saved up, the only problem with this it trying to keep the same effective gear ratios.

i currently have 225/60R/15, and i want to have the same physical size of the wheels, but with with 17 inch rims

would that be 225/45/17?? would it look right?
also the two rims i am debating on getting are the

American Racing Torque Thrust II's 17x8
vs
ROH Snypers 17x8
please vote on what you think looks "sharper" on a 3rd gen

 

here is a pic of her:

 

here are the TT II's

 

and here are the ROH SNYPERS

 

Here are the ROH Syper's

 

out of those 2 i like the tt2 but if it was mine i'd get cragar SS.s

 

225's are going to be too skinny for 17's

there is a mathematical way to figure out your wheel/tire diameter

i dont have i handy right now though

it seems though if you want 17's, i dont see a way around having your tire diameter slightly larger

 

man , thats a hard choice , they both look good .

 

I tried to vote but it would not let me . I vote for the thrust IIs ...But I do like both .

 

they both look cool


me with wheels.........so many wheels look good, i like to keep it stock

but the wheels you have gotta go
i had them wheels........POOF! GONE!


i saw 85-87 IROC rims on a sky blue 1970 Z28 today.........i almost nutted in my pants...................those rims look really good on 2nd gens

i personally like those wheels you have picked, plus all IROC rims, 91/92 Z28 rims, firehawk rims.......................it sucks that i have to choose for my Z28 soon...................all i know is that i want 17's cuz i got free 17 inch tires from work

 

We have still to this day one of the best designed rims that came stock on some Camaros- 87 Iroc rims (single groove). Here is a picture of a car I found on a web site with 18" aftermarket Irocs on it. I perfer them to be chromed though.

 

Here's a before pic of the same car with stock 16" later model Iroc's(double groove). I don't care for these as much but still are nice.

 

i dont know.......................i used to like chrome wheels

but now they remind me of some ghetto-ride

i either want to get the firehawk rims for my car or the 85-85 17 inch aftermarket IROC style pictured above

but i dont want chrome

 

If the tire is different in diameter then your speedo will be off. I went from the 225/60R/15 stock wheels to P245/50ZR-16 1991-1992 style rims. They are both the same diameter, thus not effecting my speedo. I don't think you can pull off the same thing without having tires with like almost NO sidewall when you're runnin' 17's. Though I could be wrong...

 

Depending on the car I like a good classic rim. LIke the class M/T alumin rims or Chrome Crager SS.

I hate chrome anymore, pain in the ***. you must clean them daily or suffer.

A classic set of M/T Rims with the blue logo center caps is sweet.

 

Polished 17 inch IROC's would be another rim i would consider

 

IROC wheels are nice and they would go with the car, most aftermarket wheels look like crap on our cars, besides it begins to smell like rice when you go with aftermaket wheels.

 

Know what else is a good looking aftermarket wheel ? Is OZ monte carlos ...There just so farkin *** expensive !

 

I personally like the 6 hole centerlines, and only 180 somethin a piece for 17X8's ain't bad either.

 

Well I like the IROC's also, but I have the Centerline Fluted 5 stars on mine. I couldnt pass it up. A guy in my club wanted a sleeper look for his 3rd gen and wanted too trade these Centerlines that I have now . For my factory 15 inch IROC rims. Doesnt take a MAD doctor to figure out what I should have choosen. But I REALLY like the tt 2's. BTW Centerlines dont look bad on a 3rd gen either.

 

I'd have to go with the ROH's.. how do you say that, anyway? R. O. H. or "row"? I can't get into the "classic" rims on 80's and 90's and 2000's cars.
