Here's a photoshop of what the snowflakes would look like on a thirdgen bird instead of a 2nd gen..
Feel free to post your pics of larger factory styled wheels.
I think there's a few guys running 20inch IROC's on here..

Re: Larger than stock, factory looking wheel options with pics!!
Hmmm.... then they must be the 17 in. versions.
The pic I posted has 18's. Where the center pattern meets the hoop is different. Maybe the 18's have that little Y at the end of the pattern and the 17's dont??

17" X 9" cast aluminum "Snowflake" wheel set of 4 for 1993-2002 Camaro and Firebird models. Gunmetal painted recesses.

they are not expensive.... you would think they would be very popular, every were i read everyone say they are over priced but for $1200 sound pretty good for custom wheels.

Well, I believe Mr. IROC sanded / painted / widened / polished his set. So it can be done... I think his turned out pretty killer!

I was thinking about the YearOne Snowflakes before, now i'm for sure interested in them. However I wouldn't be able to afford the billet, but who cares, I don't mind the extra weight.

Re: Larger than stock, factory looking wheel options with pics!!
I love those 18" Crosslace "GTA/GNX" Wheels.
This would be great if they were available somewhere.
Would be my #1 choice if I upgrade my brakes and if I couldn't use my stock 16" GTA wheels any longer.
The YearOne wheels are very nice, too.

I think the guy has an email address for the GTA/GNX wheels. His website is still under construction as it only has a cover page.

Oh, the face is always machined, the spokes can be had w the unmachined parts in black. You can always paint them yourself.

for the 2nd pic these look like factory rims at 18 inches. I take it custom made? If so anyone know where to get a set?
thx
Re: Larger than stock, factory looking wheel options with pics!!

Also FYI Oasis quit making IROCs. WTF.
