Hey guys, help me decide on new rims for my Iroc , thinking about getting rid of the stock set @ some point this summer. Im partial to some of the American Racing Torque Thrust sets, I found basically the same sets on ebay for about half the price as these. Between $569 & $659 of these in 17" sizes for all 4. Im leaning towards black on black with the Chrome lip. But I still like the other ones too. Still Not sure.

tt2’s look good on these cars, but i would consider a stagared combo. (16 upfront 17 in back.)

Hmm… I’m not sure how I feel about those rims on that car. Perhaps find a picture of an Iroc with them already on?

I have black torque thrust m knock offs on my black 02 Camaro. I like them. i got them shipped mounted and balanced with Falken ze512’s from discount tire for around $700.

If you are going to stagger the wheels i wouldn’t do different diameters. That doesn’t look good on f bodys. If anything go wider in the rear with a beefier tire.

none of these wheels flow with the lines of your car… you’d need an older and/or more curvy shape to pull them off.

and for the love of god you need to all of the pinstripe.

Yeah, I still really like the stock wheels over anything else posted thus far. Don’t ruin such a clean car.
