Rims to get???

For a graduation present my parents (well my dad) said they would get me wheels and tires since my dad knew I had been wanting some. I have a few picked out and was wondering if I could get your guys opinions.


1. 16" IROC rims used
2. These from Hawks http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=13964
3. 10 spoke SS takeoffs http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?PARTNUMBER=80092F
4. These but polished not chrome http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=2024
5. Another suggestion.....

Also what size should I go 16" or 17" and what are you guys suggestions for tires. I really don't wanna spend any more than $400 for tires.

go with the ZR-1 rims (#2 on your post)...i think they'd look sweet

Yea I am kinda leaning towards them, I just need tires for them that aren't too expensive.

Yeah man i had have to say #2 on the list there would look sweet.

:bow: .......:bow: ..........:bow:

They're wheels, not rims :D

Remember if you get 4th gen wheels you'll have to buy spacers which are expensive.

I vote for the IROC wheels :D

ZR1 or IROC there both sweet but on 3rd gens IROC look better than zr1

i vote for #2 as well...ive never seen those before and they are badass lookin...wish they had those in chrome.

The ZR1's in the link are replicas made to fit 82-92 F-Body's, so basically 4th gen wheels but with the backspacing and offsets to fit a 3rd gen with no adapters. I only wish they made them 9" wide.

Yea I think I am gonna go with the ZR1's for 3rd gens. They look tight. Now I just need some tires, any suggestions????????

Nitto 555r's

any wheel that doesn't use an adapter and 16's since the price budget.

what does 8" and 9" equate to in width? or am i totally way off base here....:confused:

I am looking for tires around $100. Probably like 255/40/17's or so. Anything would be an improvement over what I have now.

tires as in a tire or all 4 tires? stick with 16's unless you can find a used set of larger wheels dirt cheap. your budgets awfully low for anything higher.

I found some 255/40/17 for $103 a piece on tire rack. Anything in that range is good.

no 100 is fine...just not 100 for all 4.

:D

i'd at least try to get an hr rated tire...z isn't necessary although it's nice.
