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

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.

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

Graboid's Rims
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...

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.

I hate that Kandied car, its so overplayed........
I love it!!! Badas* indeed.
I vote for my wheel as one of the best looking wheels out there. The Smoothie 2's are so much cleaner than the TT 2's.

spdfrk1990, that's my car in both pics. I have a pic of when I bought it in 01' with 20,xxx miles (1LE from Phili). That was about as optioned as you could find for a 1LE.
Send the pic here if you want spdfrk1990@aol.com
.
Yeh I figured they both were the same I just liked the look of the vette wheels on it better.
