ahhh, black on black... always a nice combo... The only way that car would be better is if were yellow with black rims

But I am biased

I don't particularily think they're a bad wheel for a thirdgen, if fully polished. Kinda small though....15x8" if I remember correctly. Had some for my 2nd gen.

I though the 80s were pretty ok, except for the music. Long stretch when there wasn't one actual musical instrument on most songs back then. Late 80s factory wheels on the Camaros were decent I think.

Thanks a lot.
Just got them the other day after waiting over a month.
I had been wanting them forever to match the car.
They are II's with a gray powdercoated center.
I'll snap some more pictures later.

nah, the D's have a different pattern, duller lip, not polished and aren't quite as flashy as the II's.

i'll take some close up's later.
thanks for the compliments guys.

Does anyone have pics of the black ZR1 rims with the polished lip on a trans am? Preferably a white trans am I have looked through the thread and havent seen any. I am starting to get intertested in getting some for my car and really interested in what they would look like. Also, I know this has been covered and I will do a search for it, but can you fit 17x10 or 17x11's(which ever it is) in the back? Thanks.

Awesome thread.

These will have to do until I decide on something better.

I agree with tamatt27, those black Z06 wheels are sweet with the polished lip
Dude, those are the same rims on my Escalade, but in 20x11. If it isnt, than its awfully similar. I post a pic when i get home.

Graboid's wheels on that Camaro 'vert are Boyd Coddington's, but they are not the model previously mentioned. The correct model name is "Magneato". Found here for a pretty decent price:

Nice cars, gonna be a tough job choosing for mine...

Hopefully I will not have to use spacers.
thats a nice wheel, i have them on my grand prix. i'm not for sure but i believe the lowest offset is around a +35 which would mean you would need combination spacer and adapter.

Kandied, Your sig pic shows a bad **** Z from GM High Tech was that yours? I have that issue and that's a sweet looking ride. I truly am a fan of those wheels. After my drivetrain is done this time I'll be working toward another set of wheels, this time 18's. So far we approximate the engine will be 650+ hp at the crank with 14lb of ATI's boost and a good '749 tune.
