17” Iroc wheels making a comeback?

I was looking on eBay and seen some 17”IROC Rims black and brushed metal face. This is the first time I’ve seen them in that size and even found a chrome set of replicas of course. I know a few guys on TGO we’re looking for that size since I believe it was discontinued? Anyhow I wouldn’t mind getting a set of 17’s than 18’s. Maybe it’s just me but that size seems perfect, but they are more expensive!

Do any of them come in 10" wide?

No. They come in 8" so they can fit many different GM applications during the 80s and 90s. I've been talking to Weldcraft about having them widened. I was quoted $215 per wheel for 1" wider. Wanted 9" to fit a 275/40/17.

If you are going to go through the cost and effort to widen the wheels, it would be wise to aim for 9.5", 9" is a bit narrow for a 275 tire.
