Early Irocs vs. newer Irocs

I just bought an 85 Iroc but it doesn't have the original rims but theres a guy selling a set of irocs from and 88 which I know those are the later style but I was just wondering if there was any difference besides how they look. The guy whats $250 for them and they are in good shape, is that a good deal?

85-87 were 16's. IIRC, 88+ could be either 15 or 16's.

Re: Early Irocs vs. newer Irocs

i would go for the original 85-87 seeing as they are for your car. and IMO look better. but thats up to you. but yes they did come in 15 and 16. $250 is ok price. i've heard of better prices and worse...but they should work regardless

I paid $200 for my first set and $300 for my second, so $250 seems in the ball park.
