ugly on a vette, but they fit the thirdgens and look good. Anyway, to each his own. I like my wagon wheels and they look pretty good on my bird and the camaro as well. When i had 91 z28 it had a set of T/A wheels on it and it really looked nice.

I roll on Convo pros. They wouldn't work with your brakes though.

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!

I agree the 8 spoke looks OK and the wagon wheels are horrible on just about anything imho why not go with a set of polished face 02 SS rims and and have the inserts painted and add the iroc center cap to the SS rim center. That is more than likely what I am doing after I get some other stuff done and get more $$$

At least go with the second ones. 8 spokes belongs on euro's.

I do not think it would be a good idea the mods would not be too happy.

Back to being serious,

The XXR's might be more your style:


XXR 962


These are still the same 5 spoke concept, but taken a different way.

This one's a little different, but you may find it fits your fancy as well:

XXR 02
its nice, I think its up between these wheels....

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!

I've got an idea that's sure to shake the Third Gen world to it's very foundation.......

But seriously, I've had a neat idea floating around in my head, black chrome 18" IROC wheels. They would look absolutely sick on a black Third Gen, but it would be rather pricey, it'd obviously have to be custom.

Not an IROC wheel, or even a GM wheel for that matter, but you'll get the point. I would definitely get this done on my 16's if I decide to paint my IROC black.
