chrome iroc wheel question


about the "chrome iroc wheels" i see for sale all over, does anybody know where they can be purchased for the cheapest price? I see them all over the net and in catalogs at wheel & tire stores....just wondering how much u guys got them for...

and i would like to see if anybody has these wheels on a 90-92 car (i would prefer red, high rise spoiler, and hood blisters, but all pictures are welcome)


thanks for helping me out, i really want to get these wheels

I almost went this route, but didn't know how they would look on
a white car with gold lower....

I went with the SLP Hyper-Black ZR-1 (f-body) style wheels,
haven't got them yet, hope they look o.k.

I think those look great on those cars!!

The thing that concerns me about ebay is the quality of the chroming. Is some company buying the raw IROC wheel and putting an extremely cheap chrome finish on it?

I am all for ZR1s.....Chrome IROCS are cool, but only on the right car. If you have the wrong color or a thirdgen that is not in the best of shape, IMHO, it looks like you are trying to look flashy. I am not a fan of chrome, unless it is on a Belair.... Once my car is 100% done and has a NICE paint job, then I might toss a set of 20s in the back and 18 up front.

Anyways, they are nice rims. Lets see more pics of cars with ZR1's and IROCS.....And maybe how much you paid and where you picked'em up.
