US Mags Iroc Wheels Just Came In!!!

US Mags U550 Forged 18x10 and front 18x9s finally arrived!!! I'm super happy with the look and quality. Hope to have them installed on Fireball Mu11et tomorrow at noon!
The rears have a nice deep chrome lip, they are polished aluminum with Gold accent.

Thanks! Yeah, I believe this might be first set, took them like 11 weeks to custom make them!!! I ended up getting 18x10 rear on 6.25" backspacing.

Re: US Mags Iroc Wheels Just Came In!!!

Ahhhhh gold. Love me some gold! Wheels look great!

....as for price, I don't think any price, for anything is too much. -within reason of course. Everyone has different budgets (and different wives!) lol. Pick any cars and coffee and ya get guys in $5000 dollar cars and $205,000 dollar cars. It's all what you want and what your means are. I've been waiting on 17x9 88-90 Iroc wheels for almost as long as I've owned my car. Several years ago I looked into having a set made and it was gonna be close to 5k. I didn't have it then, and I frankly I don't have it for wheels right now either, but if that's what it took.....i'd have those wheels eventually. Thankfully Hawk' now has 'em for under $1000 for 4, but that's another story.

Gold! Me too!!! they are going to match the Iroc gold and interior nicely!!! Thank you and well said on the money! Price always comes up and yeah, for me it was one of those things that I was looking for and they were the first wheel company to get the size with a modern look. But yeah, I was going to do the Hawks 17's single line golds when they come out - they are going to be sweet also!!!

Great looking wheels Stans. Maybe with time, US Mags will drop their price a little as more folks buy them. I got a 87 Monte SS with TPI motor. I always thought that Irocs are the best looking rims,

thanks Fred SS! Yeah, I hope so... I think we may see more of these 3rd gen wheels come to market after seeing Hawk’s success and dedication to the 3rd gens. Plus add on the *** jerk companies like that whole 6Le debacle jerking people around. I think the market is right!

Re: US Mags Iroc Wheels Just Came In!!!

Man the rims look AMAZING!!! And on the car it just all stands out as a complete sight. As for the price, I think it's all just the world of the game. Years ago people would have never said they would spend crazy money on a first gen, then the second gens. Well people have dropped HUGE cash on first gens, then second gens, and so now it's just the third gens time. More and more crazy nice examples are popping up, this sight has a wealth of them.

thanks buddy! Yes, the Way I look at it is if this were a first or second GEN, I would have four times the money in it to get a car at this level!

Re: US Mags Iroc Wheels Just Came In!!!

At $4,000 in wheels I would confer with my insurance company to ensure that they are completely covered in case of an accident or theft. I'd also invest in the top of the line gorilla wheel locks. Like you I have the means for wheels that expensive but I'm too afraid of theft, insurance shenanigans and all the horrible drivers to pull the trigger on something like that. It's why I only put 300-400 miles per year on my Camaro. I hope you enjoy those wheels, they do look great and match your car well.

Re: US Mags Iroc Wheels Just Came In!!!

Gorilla wheel locks are good, very good. From what I have seen over the web, they have a design where the outside diameter spins freely separate from the inside. So no matter what tool someone can get to hammer over the lock to remove it, it will only spin. I cruise in my Monte, no errands, no parking in mall lots. If I had to leave it outside for any length of time, I would definitely get a set of Gorilla locks.

Thanks, I'm looking at them now trying to figure out size and style - thank you!
Yeah, I'm like you, I get nervous even without the wheels leaving the car sit.

Wow - thanks, I really appreciate that! The wheels made it feel like a different car... so different than what I had!
