"dull" wheels, like Torq Thrust D

I'm looking for some wheels for my 3rd gen, and I'm not in to the "bling bling 20's" and stuff, I like more nostalgic stuff, I really like the Grey/machined Torq Thrust:



I'm looking to keep the standard Iroc 16 inch size, but I'm not sure what I should go with for the width. What is the widest I could go on an 86 Iroc?

Are there any other types of wheels that have the flat grey look to them? I thought about maybe some older chevy rally wheels, but I'm not sure that they would look to good on a 3rd gen.

Also, where would be a good place to order them from? I'm gonna need new tires as well, so maybe I can find a wheel/tire combo deal some where?

I have never purchased new wheels before, so I'm not really sure what fits and what doesn't.

Thanks so much guys!

Are you looking strictly for wheels with no shine, etc.? Is all chrome, polished, similar out of the question?

Well, not REALLY, but it seems like almost everybody has the shiney wheels, and I don't want my car to be just another black Iroc. I do like the Torq Thrust D's the best so far.

Oh, the main reason for new wheels, is mine are very ugly. Aside from just needing pollish, they are all scratched up, and have curb dents in them. I'm not sure how long the curb dents and all have been there. I also need new tires, and one of the wheels is missing the iroc cap. So I figured this would be good a time as any to look into new wheels.

If I can't find anything else, I'm going with the torq Thrust D's

The Cragar SS's are an old style hot rod wheel...and I haven't seen many Camaro's with them. They are only offered in chrome though. And the newer/bigger one's look very good. Available in a range of sizes.
