I have summit fast fives on mine. 15x4 front 15x8 rear. I think they look real good. I would also like to have a nice set of 17's one of these days.

 

heres mine im not really sure what these are? im getting them next week

 

My favorite thus far!!. Good looking ride.

 

Good looking ride P-Roc, always liked Daggers

 

I put something similar on my Grand Prix. Kinda like a new age take on the RS:



Ignore the dirt.lol

They're 17" as well.

 

Cragar Soft 8's
17x9, 275/40/17 rear
17x8, 245/45/17 front

 

Is it just me or is the backspacing totally wrong on the front ones? They look like the face of the wheel is three inches further out than the rears...?

 

For some reason they look like that in that pic...

 

This is my GTA with BMW King wheels.
Front: 245/45/17, rims 8.5J ET13 with 20mm spacers
Rear: 285/40/17, rims 10J ET20 fit without spacers, 6.3" BS

 

I still love those Corvette wheels and that color together. Looks GREAT, in my opinion.

Rayzor, to answer your question, the color reminds me of my Red Jewel Tintcoat (GM color) IROC I had a few years back, which looked dark and maroonish without sunlight but then brightened up in the sun, since it was a metallic flake paint. I found the Red Jewel color on an 06 Envoy and loved it. Compare the upper picture with the picture of my IROC in the lower picture...the colors look exactly the same.



My Red Jewel Tintcoat IROC

 

I love the tintcoat too, I saw it on a new camaro and was thinking about painting mine like that. thanks

 

You'll be very happy with the Red Jewel color. Trust me. As you know, it looks even better in person.

 

Don't think I've seen a larger profile tire put on the front before. Are those HID's?

 

What Brand of tires do you have on your car? Looks Good BTW

 

Yes, they're HID's. What do you mean about the tire profile?

 

Front: Uniroyal
Rear: Bridgestone

 

even with the 45 aspect ratio the 245's will have a profile within .01" of the 275/40

 

Thats the symmetry I was aiming for..

 

My DragStrip Set

 

Totally perfectrly ruined beautiful car, you talk about "getto"? Where's the taste and fun about those rims??? They may be expensive but they look horrible!!! and the handling???

wow, totally a waste of money

 

Thanks, I've been a Centerline fan since I was a kid.

 

those daggers look sweet, do they have them in 16" i wonder how they would look in 16" then wouldnt have to get new tires.

 

So far I love my stock GTA wheels but after seeing all the pics on this thread it would be nice to upgrade to something else whenever I can, but it's not a priority right now

 

They come in 16, 17, 18, and 20's

 

Those are awesome, got a link of where you got them?

It does look odd doesn't it. I think if they were a bit smaller and the car was lowered they would look better.

 

Look at the second pic, its just the first pic I posted that makes them look funny, I agree a lowering will help but its a daily driver and it rubs as-is. They are a perfect size. Compare total diameter and you'll see.

 

I have the stock gta rims and such. I have the original gatorback tires on my car,but they are shot to all hell. I can't find the right tires for my car anymore. It's like no-one carries 16inch rims in a vr-zr 245 size anymore. How do you guys get the tires that fit your cars?

 

i just bought 4 245/50/16 hercules g3000v's for $355 shipped for my wifes 86. she still has stock style 16*8's. got to onlinetires.com or tirerack.com or tires-easy.com or tirebuyer.com they all sell them. online tires though had good ones. good luck.

 

I bought them from my friend, they are not brand new.

 

I see, I love those wheels, do you know the exact name of them? I Googled BMW King wheels but didn't find them.

 

I really don't know anything else There is King brand logo on them and "made in germany" mark.
I found something interesting here: http://www.wheel-******.com/forum/vi...p?f=32&t=20098

 

just a heads up, the BMW bolt pattern is just enough different that it will slip over the lugs but the tapered seats of the lugnuts will not seat correctly (they'll end up like half a mm off), and in theory won't want to stay tight/will wallow out the seats.

I'm not saying that you absolutely will have a problem, but I wouldn't try it on a car that will be raced or see any real high speed use (I've seen lugnuts come off a wheel while it was driven before... it wasn't pretty, and that was at about 40mph, in that case they were the right pattern, but the seat tapers didn't match so again, they didn't make full contact)

 

I've been running the 5x120 pattern for awhile now with no issues and the car sees some high speed abuse. At the track with sticky tires though I use factory wheels. Like ya said, it's a possibility and I've heard it before but I have no issues with mine and don't hesitate running them.

 

BEAUTIFUL!! What color is that?

 

I still think the Z06 wheels look the best, especially with the red color that's on this particular car. The wheels update the look of the car and just look way nice.

I can't tell if these are 18's or 17's though

 

I know its not a camaro obviously but I have a 91 z28 that im rebuilding and thought this Atomic Orange scheme would be sick. Either the Montegi rims like the ones on the viper or blacked out C6's.. What do you think?!

 

No worries man, I'll keep looking for them.

 

Thanks man, i've been going nuts trying to find rubber. Btw Nice garage, must be pretty awesome to have an 86 and an 88 gta in your grasp.

 

Yep, BMW..or Mercedes 5 bolt pattern..i think the 120 BMW is what fits our cars..and they are fake split..which is good,,,NO LEAKS !!! lol

they hold up pretty good actually and i can get them new from germany if somebody wants a set.. I lived there and my fam. is still there !!!!

 

I had that bolt pattern on my vete i used to have and had no problem at all !!!

Just cant remember if it was the 120 or 122 mm pattern ?!

U can also re taper them for the lugs here !

 

DeltaElite121 did you ever see my car with the ss split 10 spokes? and have you gotten them mounted yet? i was thinking of painting my center black and putting a red pinstripe around the outer rim.

 

I miss my TTII's, im using Intro Pentia's now.

 

So they'll bolt right on? I asked a seller on ebay a while back and he said no

 

I have wheels for a bimmer on my bird (see sig) the 5x120 pattern for a 3 series car, will bolt on without spacers on the rear but the front hubs WILL NOT clear. You can drill them out to 2.95" and use a standard push-through-the-back style center cap and they will work fine. You can however use a 5 series backspace and a spacer to work around this. I decided to make it work with a few drill bits rather than spend for the spacers.

BTW my factory lugs and factory lug nuts work just fine. Tight for a socket, but fine.

 

I like the new srt8 challenger rims for the 392 edition http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/phot...nger-SRT8.aspx. If only they weren't 20 inch rims. Have a custom firebird emblem on the spoke and pontiac.

Btw.Merry Christmas. Put those christmas lights on your thirdgen and ride the streets.

 

I think a 3rd gen would look funny with 20" wheels ..IMO

 

Yeah, i hear you. But, now everyone has those low profile tires with huge rims. I personally dislike the low profile tires. I need meat to my rubber. I just like the style of the srt rims.

 

its not about the low profile,,i actually run them too, but 20 " is a lot and looks kind of funky on a car like ours ?!

 

Yeah, it would. The body style doesn't allow it to be a proper ratio of size of chassis and rim size.

 

how low is your car.
