what he said!! when ever i DO see any irocs in person or on craigslist, the ones with the factory wheel stand out to me with great appeal like it must have 25 years ago. now all i shop around for or pay any attention to are the factory cars. the custom ones seem to fade away in the back ground more to me now lol

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

I Personally like the PW7s for our cars (firebirds in this case), however I had a dream of having C4 vette wheels with the center caps replaced with something simalier to the ones on the Pw7s, but they apparently won't fit

Lol someone seriously needs to chill. Like a previous poster in this thread said someone who is on BMW forums as well would know about these.
The world is not gonna end if someone on the other side of the world has the same rims. No one cares. As long as they're not your neighbor who gives a sh*t!

ps: there is also Google Image Search you know

Probably some 19x10s maybe some 19x8.. what do you think?
Also there's some other smaller details I want to add/fix before I buy some new wheels... that's kind of the last thing for me.. not too in a hurry

Dude its called a joke. Stop taking it up the a.ss so hard. You're just making yourself look even more stupid. Fine Ok you can keep you're "special" rims that no one in the world except you has.. no one is going to take them lol. Happy??? I think that's what you wanted to hear lol. Also who cares about how many posts someone has? Is it supposed to make you better than everyone else?? If it did then you have been on this since 2000 and you're acting like a little girl. We've moved on from that conversation.. if it continues then you're just looking for attention.. smh.

1st 19in tires are expensive and everybody up charges them
2nd if your thinking going 19 ...19x8 is a waste go wider your spending a lot on tires already mightiest well get the most grip I say 9 to 10in wide
I would go 18s IMO I like to have more tire and 19s tires are just too expensive long term but I drive mines everyday so if you don't and it's just a weekend car then it's ok also 19s would be max rim size you can pull off 20s if you can get the right tire and stance it would have to be lowered IMO 18s are perfect everyday size and 17s are good also vast tire selection but not all big brake kits fit in 17 which ctw motorsports makes a pretty cool wheel setup if you want 17 and fit big brake setups

Those wheels have the same retro type feel/vibe like the year one snowflake wheels which a member has on his firebird NYC sum thing is his name

Post pics of your car maybe some one can photoshop

Yeah was leaning more towards 19x9+ and it wouldn't be a daily driver right now.. during the summer most likely though... as for 18 inch I'm specifically looking at 19 inch wheels but 18's wouldn't be bad either.. 20's would be too big for me on this car regardless if I would be able to squeeze them on there.. I feel the same way for 19s and 20s as you do between the 18s and 19s as far as tire goes..

I googled those snowflake rims and I personally don't like "mesh" type of wheels on this car.. I prefer 5 spoke rims.. I'm trying to keep the 5 spoke thing like my original 17" IROC-Zs but different style of 5 spoke.. definitely some with some lip

My camaro is in the shop right now but it's a blue 87 IROCZ 5.7L T-top all stock.. if someone can just get a similar one to that because I'm not that good in photoshop lol.. I'll take some pics as soon as I pick it up

Remember the M6 wheels? I had those and boom, at least 3!!! other guys I know of had them, even some douche in my home town. Now this again


Holy Butt-Hurt Sally!!!! Seriously!! Over a Set of Rims?!?!?!?! I get questions about mine all the time!! Do I get butt-hurt?? NO... If you wanna talk BMW Wheels, I had the 18" Ace's on my car over 6 years ago - as Everyone has said - You are far from the first to figure this all out Slick...

I never said I was the 1st to figure out BMW wheels fit on these cars and I never claimed to be. Brush up on your reading skills before posting. Here's a new years FU to you!

Why do we allow children on this site?

Annnnyways....Best looking stockers are the 1985-87s.


My favorite aftermarkets would have to be CCW SP18s F: 18x11, R:18x13

I would consider a guy with 400 posts in 9 years more of a noob than someone who has 4000 posts in 6 years.

Depends on what they post about of course....but still.

So you`re 24 years old.
Aren`t you a young punk??
Ha! LOL

PS. I did say it depends on what they're posting. It was C-Titan throwing his join date around like THAT means something.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Guys, no offense intended but are you all REALLY fighting like children over an argument that stemmed on the last page over a member who got upset because someone pointed out what wheels he has?

I just want to make sure I have that straight and didn't miss anything.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

No need to speak in general, yes it is because I got pissed off because of that. I specifically said I wanted to keep the brand to myself and some clown joins up and post the brand, he has what.. 2 posts? What was his purpose here other than revealing what wheels I have... wheels that by my knowledge are not available in the US anywhere?

I was going to add my 2 cents but just nevermind. I can understand your frustration but I would have expected a more controlled response from a senior member. And yes there was a need to speak in general because we went from people sharing their wheels to two people fighting about their wheels to a bunch of people fighting about superior post counts.



Here are my wheels. They are American Racing AR-23 with a little custom touch from some black wheelpaint and some black lugnuts. I plan on getting black centercaps for them also. I went with these wheels because I really like the style and you don't see hardly any thirdgens running them. Only one other member on this forum has them to my knowledge.

You should not have posted it on the internet if you wanted to keep it a secret. I think you miss the idea of this thread. Its to give other people ideas of what wheels work and what are available for third gens since most guys are use to seeing/using 4th gen or vette wheels as a upgrade. I come to this post all the time for new wheel ideas, since I'm considering a wheel change this summer.

Because someone posted a the brand of wheel you have, you are taking it personally, when its not an attack on you but curiosity about the wheels.

Number of posts has nothing to do with anything. Most guys here with 1000s of post generally add "nice car or nice Wheels" comments with nothing of substance.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

So if you do not want people to copy your stuff you can not show it? That's BS! In this and other threads I said I didn't want to tell... people should respect that and certainly not some trolling noob should come in just to spoil someone elses day. That's what it is about.

So you expected wrong... just sick and tires of people sticking their nose in other people's business. Just like some little asshat on a corvette forum claiming he developed custom headlight buckets using 90mm hella projector modules when in reality he just ripped off my design which I built years ago, copied down to the last detail. People just have no ethics left and think the internet is a free for all...it's not!

You're first line is contradictory.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

How is it? if you show a picture of something you immediately have to fess up to all the details and what's what so people can copy it?

No, that once you show something in public, it's open for immitation/copying.

Yes, but if they don't know what it is and ask me and I tell them I'd rather keep it to myself then is it someone elses business to step in and say what it is anyway?
