Give them a +2 and they would look a lot better. I think some gold gta wheels in 18's would look sweet if they made a set then put them on black 4th gen ram air.

 

definetly, the stock look is the best look. these are the nicest 3rd gen wheels

 

Talk about a last from the past! Fatal!

Our Austin group cruised down to Houston in the mid 90s (I think it was) to the GM tour coming through, and I remember Fatal being there, with a 4th gen dash, solid headlights vs the seperate highs and lows of stock, and pretty much everything under the hood, and the chassis, polished or chromed.

I know I took pics, just can't seem to locate them right now...

Fatal looks as good today as it did 10 years ago! Was it a 'vert back them? Memory says it was a hardtop, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong. Memory of before 2 years ago sucks now.

 

That would make sence since our cars were made in the 80's

I personally like that wheel.

John

 

yes it does make sense, but some things made in the 80's dont scream it like those wheels. i never said anything about the 80's being bad however, so it wasnt an insult

 

You would live in the 80's still if you could.

 

 

Wouldn't we all?

I love all things 80's--the cars, the music, the styles, the members only jackets (i actually wear my dads around all the time).

But staying on topic, any of the stock 16 inch 3rd gen wheels look fantastic and suit our cars personally. Thats not to say that aftermarket wheels dont look good either, its just that i prefer the stock look:

 

I like my TTM, i was going to get the orginal TT2's but changed my mind at the last minute. I havent seen any other Third gen with them either!!! I'll get some better pics when i get it back from being Painted

 

Opps

 

ANYONE HAVE PICS OF A THIRD GEN CAMARO WITH KMC HOT WHEEL SIXTY EIGHTS 17''S ????????????????????????

 

NO BUT ITS A GOOD LOOKING WHEELL!!!!111!!

 

17 x 9.5 Z06's



15 Weld Draglites



17 x 9.5 Z06's

 

 

One vote for the weld's. Had 16" prostars on my car for about 5 years. Really good wheel.

 

 

How about a 5 year long thread!
Here's my oldie favorite, Ronal R9's

 

I went with the C6 Z06 wheels. Not my favorite, but I like them a lot.

Phyte

 

Knew I had the pics of it from the Chevrolet tour SOMEWHERE...Album Had different wheels back then.

 

Should be picking these up at the end of the month. 18x8.5 front...18x9.5 rear wrapped in Kuhmo Ecsta spt's 245/40/18 front 275/35/18 rear for $1700.

What ya think?

 

They look nice but I like the factory 16in Irocz wheels I have the best. I have kuhmo ecsta's 295/50/r16...those tires stick. for my second set of wheels I have 16inch centerlines polished with mickey's, i want to get some torque thrust thought 17x12's or 17x10's, for the races instead of the centerlines. My lil brothers rims on his 3rd gen vette are sweet also(79 L-48), he has those bf goodrich tires that r half slicks and half radials those tires r pretty bad a//. just adding my

 

I thought BFG was the only maker of 295/50R16 The s...or ANY 16 bigger than a 255.

Tirerack doesn't show any brand other than BFG for a 295/50R16. The kumho web site doesn't even show that size...

 

super clean stock rims

 

on my stock irocz rims i have ecstas' stock size tires,245/50/r16...The 295' are on a third set of rims those tires r actually a noname tire from pepboys...sorry for the wrong info.

The 295's actually are a lil wide for the car when i hit a bad bump the rear quarter digs into them!

 

Those are nice rims everyone but I do like mine

 

My favorite is the 17" chrome IROCs. here's my car.

 

i thought about those in 18" and like them alot..but thought camaro rims on a firebird was cheesy.

 

What kind of wheels are they???

 

ruff racing 280's

 

Coincidently enough I just ordered those. Not Chrome though.

 

Personally I love my roc rims but these 3 rims are nice also. The tri spoke rims my frend had on his gta they looked great...i know they come in 15x10, not for sure but also 16x10. On his bird he had 15x10's with 295/50/r15's. they looked sweet but each person has their own opinion!

 

I like the earlier Iroc wheels (like RocsRose has on his car above). The 89+ ones with the cheap plastic huge fake nut in the middle just don't do it for me. Plus the earlier Iroc wheel has some dish to it, whereas the fake nutted ones are just flat spokes.

And I think everyone agrees on the 16" TA wheels as the best stock TA wheel.

Those tri spoke wheels just scream pickup truck/custom van to me. That's where I usually see them.

 

No kidding. You wont mind sending me a picture once they are put on would you?

 

he doesnt have his bird ne more well not his 3gen. he has a 02 ws6 and a 87 z28.

 

ooookkk..time to change his profile

 

I dont like the newer Irocz rims either. No depth just shallow like a tuner wheel...Da// rice burners! My wheels dont look that nice anymore though I rellay need to polish them up! She has been sittin up 4 6mths between the motor build and work and my daughter I have very little time for her. As of right now her stats r as follows.

Interior 95% (all new red interior, waiting on my new vette seats)
exterior 30% (no dents or dings just needs paint & gfx work)
Motor 99% (havent had time for the distributor)

 

onfire, your directional front rotors are on backwards. The slots should angle the other direction. I can't even count how many times I have seen directional rotors on peoples' cars backwards

 

yeah hes right...look at mine, they are the right way (this is the driver side tire, onfires is the passenger tire):

 

Personally, I like the newer style S-10 wheels. I think they look pretty tasteful, certainly a good upgrade from the stock 15' er's...

 

i like these

 

ehhh

 

This is one cool old thread...

 

Personally, I'm not all about how much money you drop on each rim. I've got 4th gen rims that look ok. and i have the american racing rims in the picture. $250 for a set of 4. I custom painted the center caps, made all the difference.

 

double post

 

I like my rims...finally got them on. ^_^

 

I like the IROC wheels painted to match. Looking to getting some 17"s or 18"s and painting them to match. Possibly widening the rears to 10"

 

I should be throwing these on next season, maybe with a black center, or some sort of gunmetal chrome.

 

Hey thats pretty cool, neat idea

 

You just can't go wrong with the original IROC rim.

A close second would be either chrome 18" Iroc or the AR Torqlite.

 

here are my ROH snypers showing off my front brakes and tiny stock rear brakes for now....till i get the new rear and convert it!
