Need to find some 16" rims

Anyone know a good place to look for some 16" z28 rims, got the LT1 coming soon and going to need all the traction I can get. I've check the classifieds here and most people are marking the same rims I have as z28's. Checked ebay and currently watching a pair I liked but doubt it will be done in my price range.

If it can't be done, I suppose I could settle for some 15" z28 rims.

Thanks.

16 inch rims are a dime a dozen, especialy if you have the money for a LT1 swap. There are always some for around 200 on ebay

Edit: maby you are talking about IROC rims. since you seem to have a 91 RS. all the cars got the same rims for 91/92

I never said they were THAT much. Currently there is nothing on ebay and nothing in the classified sections except the RS rims I already have.

well, do you want 3rd or 4th gen 16'ers? I have both.

I have the wide stipe band 3rd 16's(white), and the firehawk style 4th genners(polished), both for sale, both sets have minor damage, but nothing major. I will just have to have the tires removed from the 3rds rims.

Sorry, no operable camera at the moment, shoot me a message if interested.

Looking for these rims:

http://www.speartech.com/company_pro...d_side01_a.jpg

These are the z28 rims correct? Want them in white preferably, but aluminum is just as good.

Currently im running these which everyone classifies as z28 rims also, unless of course im wrong....mines a 91

Beautiful ain't she?

look at my seats on my cardomain site, http://www.cardomain.com/id/am91camaro_rs you should do some like those! you can see the blue pearl in my paint in some of those pics too.

Edit: gettin ready to powdercoat the wheels white too...they look really bad and drag down the looks of the whole car.
