I too think that alot of aftermarket rims look goofy on an IROC. I personally went with aftermarket 17" IROC style rims. I also like american racings torqe thrust's.

I just found these on ebay...I don't really trust buying things on ebay though. I'd like to get aftermarket iroc style rims, since the ones on my car are nice, just showing their age. If anyone has any recommendations as to where I can find rims like these, preferably 16" or 17". thanks.

some rims dont look bad on an iroc, although mines not a "real iroc" its a z-28 with an iroc fron and rear clip and ground effects i think the rims on my car look pretty damn good. i just think irocs look bad with mag wheels

if you do a search, you'll find so many sets of aftermarket rims that look good on these cars its silly. I personally like the ROH Snypers, American Racing TT II's, the Boyd's on Heavy Chevy's car, and the aftermarket chrome IROC's.
