Wheel Choice
Well its comming to that time, paint is just about complete. I need to pick out some wheels for the car, thinking of polishing the stock rims. I also like the 17 inch chrome IROC and the chrome ZO6 wheels, I know they need spacers but I do like the look of both wheels, thoughts?

Re: Wheel Choice
its your car, its up to you.
my opinion, if the wheels need bolt on spacers, find something else.

Re: Wheel Choice
x2, look for something with a dish! we have the advantage over 4th gens because there axles are pushed out closer to the body panels. 9" in the front 10-11" out back. whats your budget for wheels?

Re: Wheel Choice
I've noticed more & more ads here on TGO for used spacers. Looks like even those that had them are switching to wheels that fit.
Just remember that you are not limited only to what is sold. You can have wheels powdercoated/painted (powdercoat is more durable) either fully or just partially li;ke the spokes/arms. If the wheels you like are not made in the width you want? You can get wheels custom widened by places like http://www.wheelsamerica.com/index.php
