I dont have mine yet but im going 18". 17" will look pretty good too but you will have a little more tire showing than on an 18". Keep in mind, you want to keep the outside diameter the same, whether thats with a lot of rim and low profile tires, or a small rim with a lot of tire.

Re: Show me your chrome irocs!!!! im stuck between 17s and 18s cant decide
I have a 86 Camaro, with 2" eibach Sportline lowering springs.
Right now I have 16" chrome Iroc wheels on it all around, and I want to transition to 18". I really don't know if I like the 18"s all around, or 18"s on front and 20" on back better? I have seen pics of the staggered set, and it looks pretty great. Does anyone have this? Id like to know if it looks silly due to the rear 20" wheels having to have a smaller tire than the front?

Re: Show me your chrome irocs!!!! im stuck between 17s and 18s cant decide
I am posting a lot today about the question of quality on Velocity rims. There is a $500 difference between what Belle Tire sells and this place called Hot Wheels in Detroit.
The American racing wheels are $1,600 at Belle Tire
The China made "Velocity" will cost me $1,100 out the door.
I'm concerned about chrome chipping/flaking/pitting..... and if the Chinese rims will actually be perfectly round and balanced.
Anyone heard anything bad about Velocity rims?
