Thanks! I've been searching recently to see if I could find them.

 

thats not a camaro, thats a corvette......

 

I can never seem to find them, but I saw a picture of a dudes 87 IROK rims powder-coated black. Best wheels ever IMO.

 

anyone know what Rims these are? i have the EXACT same car minus those rims...would love them!

 

Old Faithfuls

 

BBS RSII's. Look up the Polly Motorsport Trans Am for more pics of a thirdgen with them.

 

They look like CSL Bmw wheels... kinda

 

I just bought this car yesterday,.....it came with these 17" polished TTII's. Unfortunately I'm so burnt out on TTII's after owning about 10 different cars with 'em. I'm actually trading these straight across for a set of Centerline Convo Pros. (15x8.5" & 15x4")

**EDIT** Just finished installing the Convo Pros on my car yesterday. (I posted some new pics down below)


.

 

I was going to go with TTII's on mine only in 18. Before I custom ordered them I found the ones I have now for considerably cheaper. I will likely go with 17 inch TTII's on my 66 GranSport though. You can hardly go wrong putting them on almost any vehicle in my opinion.

 

 

anyone know what style american racing wheels these are? thx!

I was thinking about these rims from O.E. Wheels. They are Deep Dish C5's with machine finish.

 

What do they call these wheels?

 

Those are ROH ZS rims, no longer available...

I've seen them pictured more than once and I agree! 18" American Racing IROC replicas - I get compliments everywhere on them... (see sig pic)

 

thanks for the updates

 

These wheels are really beautiful! great designer! what are they called and what make?

 

That is a corvette wheel from Lakeshore Wheel and Tire. I keep going back and forth between those and a 17 inch IROC...

 

corvette C6 rims, their not cheap $900 for a set.

one of my favorites. got my draglites on last night

 

I have the oem versions of these on my 85 right now they look GREAT! Im selling them right now and putting 4th gen camaro ss 17" wheels on but man did these c5s look good and THOSE deep dish ones look like they would be even more bad ***!

 

Nice!

 

My favorites are the Rally II-s. No new Oh Zhit racing or whatever they call this "look at me, I`m from China" rims.

 

yes it is sweet car, it is currently my wallpaper on my computer at work.......

 

dude WTF does are cobra r wheels

 

Work Meister S1's

 

i've got an '84 red Z-28 (63,000 mi.) and has he stock Z rims. the kind that the seal coat mostly peeled off and the gray spokes seem lifeless and dull. is there a good home remedy to bring these great rims back to life or is there a rim specialty shop that re-does these reasonably?

 

My New Wheels:

Gunmetal Deep Dish Z06 Wheels - 18x8.5 in the front and 19x10 out back









I have the rear jacked up for now until I can switch out the spacers and do a lil fender rolling... Better pics to come...

 

How much back spacing do the wheels have? I have 18x10 rears and don't have to roll the fenders or use a spacer. I have Sportline lowering springs...

Try to get your backspacing between 5 3/4 to 6 inches. Mine is just a hair over 6 inches and I can see some slight tire rub marks on the inner fender from hard cornering. A little massaging will fix that...

 

I finally replaced those TT II's with some Centerline Convo-Pros. They're 15x8.5" & 15x4" with 265/50/15's and 165/80/15. I also lowered it down about 1" in the front and 2" out back. Now I just need to get it painted.

 

A set of aftermarket wheels have actually grown on me. Fikse FM5's. I'd even consider going as big as 18" with them. I've only seen two Third Gens with them, but they look very neat.

There's this one I've seen, which is a 1984 Camaro with a Nelson built Twin Turbo 427. 1,750 Horsepower street car.. It mentions running 8's, which is nothing for a nearly 2,000 Horsepower car, but from my understanding, it's not exactly a purpose built drag car.





I absolutely love these wheels. It's not just another Camaro with 'Vette wheels, but it has that simple 5 spoke design. Classic, timeless, beautiful. The only bad part is that I believe they're about $4,500 for a set of 18's, depending on width. Right now, that's a lot more than what my whole IROC is worth. LOL.

Definitely at the top of my short list of aftermarket wheels that I'd consider buying. Otherwise, I'll stick with the IROC's.

I was a bit biased the last time I posted on this topic, but since then I've seen a lot of 18's that look good on Third Gens. Just takes some searching.

 

That car is SWEET! If only I could find the time and money to get mine even half what that is! Is there any writing on that car? I'd like to see how they did everything on it...

 

There's a whole bunch of write ups on it.

http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...es-nsc003.html

It's Nelson Supercar "#003".

This is a Lateral G thread that the actual owner wrote up about the car. Basically just a little bit of bragging.

http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=5519

And, here's a big two page write up on it from Hot Rod. A bunch of decent pictures included in this one too.

http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicl...aro/index.html

I don't really like white on it much though. I'd like it in black with the same Heritage stripes. Most of all I like the wheels.

 

These are the factory size (15x7) American Racing AR-23 Wheels purchased from Summit Racing. They cost $89.95 ea and do included the center caps. Lug-nuts are sold separately.

I think these wheels compliment the car quite well and help retain that vintage 80's feel. Also the tire's for this size wheel are very affordable and that's always nice.

 

My Iroc´s

 

These

 

It's at 5" right now, just wanted to see how it would look... I'm only gonna bring it in another half an inch... With a 65mm offset I have no choice but to run spacers... You have to remember, my rears are 19"s with an 11.5"+ tire - lil different set-up then yours...

 

+1

 

I am running these

 

you put the wrong wheel/tire in the picture.

 

Picked these up for 80 bucks with Drag Radials(treads gone), they are 17" ZR1 style Camaro SS wheels. If anyone has two more let me know, Ill also need a cheap set of 2" spacers. If anyone has any please PM me

 

i bought a set of 16x8 rims from a 00 firebird the five spoke rims, and what size spacer would i need to make them fit? 2? for front and rear are they different? any answers would be sweet and yes i have typed this into the search and NOTA!!

 

Get 2" on all 4 corners. this gives you the option to sell the rear pair if you get a 4th gen rear.
2" front and 1-3/4" rear is a common combo.

 

Mine are best. 88 Formula rims, powdercoated black with WS6 centercaps.

I want to first say thank you to all of you that post the best information anyone could possibly want. I bought my 3rd gen about 3 years ago and thought I knew everything I need to know about any camaro. I have built many chevy motors something you better be good at if you plan on going fast on water, so the motor was no sweat, but anything whatever it was that came up with the car I would log on and there was the answer, and I mean everything. Except how to get over 500 foot pounds of torque to hook up on redials. I have been through this entire car and have literally changed everything and want to post something every once in a while but I have to post to " BEST looking 3rd gen rims" The wheels drove me nuts. I tried 19's, 18's, and 17's but stayed with the 18's. The wheels are original Stern racing wheels there called beast face. I have only seen one other picture of these wheels anywhere they where 15's someone selling on line. The wheels are 3 piece and are incredibly light, I don't think that they're DOT approved. Then there was the issue with them being 5x114 so I had to make some custom wheel spacers, but I still wished I could push the inset deeper into the wheels so I took them apart and turned the center part of the wheels on a lathe so I could bolt the wheel centers from behind the rim rather than in front. It gave me about 3/4" deep into the rim and made the wheels look better than I could have imagined.

BTW, I have been getting asked a lot about the plate in the picture and yes that's my real license plate.

 

Thankyou Thankyou :takes a bow:

 

I use Vintage Racing Wheels that are 17" x 9.5' with 5.5" backspace that don't need any spacers. They come with center caps but I can't use them on the track. Here's some pictures.

heh, those would be sweet in vintage sizes (especially if you could find a good sticky tire to match)
