I think these are best! CCW Classics. I have been trying to find a used set for months with no luck, probably never will and with a new price of $2,400

You.
Are.
Crazy.
I don't think there is a vehicle on this planet that wouldn't looked better with CCW classics. There could be better wheel choices I'm sure but the classics are amazing.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I figured to myself, it will look good in some applications but I am not a fan of them, I have seen them on 4th gens and also not a fan of them.
Well who knows maybe you guys can convince me wrong.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I wonder why, I've seen a million TTIIs, but never a single set of these--on any car--ever:

As you all probably know, when you are talking muscle car, Cragar 8/61 mags are and always have been the de facto wheels to go with along with white letter tires, and 7-8 years ago they came out with the above wheel, changed a bit to go with the look/sizes of late model cars, several years before AR put out their TTIIs. Still though, I haven't seen a single car with these new style Cragars ever. Would love to see a third gen with them. Affordable too.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I just bought a set of refinished 85-87 Iroc rims from mike's montes...(This is a newly refinished set of 4 Iroc wheels with new center caps.They look awesome!!!!!!!!!! There are 2 front and 2 rear wheels included. These wheels are 16x8 .You will not find closer to new anywhere .Call 937-526-5089 for more information) He can get more.
I am very satisfied with the rims and I just ordered Firestone wide ovals for them. I hope to have them on soon. Right now I have 15X8" polished aluminum Ultra Tri-Fan's on my car. I know the Tri-fans were a mid 90's wheel, but I still like the way they look.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Here's a few more pics. It's a 1986 Camaro Contempo Cantara GT. Pretty rare. Some people love it (like me) and some hate it. I took the front spoiler off, it was trashed. I'll replace it with something soon. And it only has 35,000 miles. I actually bought one new in 1987. I wish I'd never sold that car and I swore if I ever found one I'd buy it. And the new wheels really set it off.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I was wondering if you could tell me what rims are on the car in the picture. I have a 1992 Camaro RS I would like to put some spokes on. Can you tell me what size those are they look a little bigger than 15's. Do they also have them in non polished finish.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I really like the American Nitro Chromes I have on mine.. but it's a personal taste thing. I _never_ liked the stock Honeycombs. I think the nicest stock ones were the five way three-slots. (had them on my old car). But they were heavy as all get out.

Those look awesome. They go amazingly well with the color. What is it? Not a fan of the spoiler but those wheels can mask almost anything.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Yea...that ding happened 5 years ago in my high school parking lot. The strange thing is my buddy was parked next to me and he never opened the passenger side door that day. I was also parked at the back of the lot facing a chain link fence so there was no reason for anybody to be anywhere near my door.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Thanks! I will be changing the spoiler when I get it repainted (probably the beginning of next year) I am glad I chose the brushed center over the polished, black, and titanium. I didn't want the polished centers because of the maintenance, the titanium really doesn't fit my future paint color too well. I was set on the black centers for as long as I've known these wheels existed until about 2 days before I ordered these.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
pwdbychevy (and) dust3r...I have been looking for some wheels that are the same style as the ones you have on your cars, So I have to ask; What brand / size(s) are your wheels? I have always liked that style of wheels and I am looking for some for my 88 T/A, but not having much luck finding them.

I bought these from my brother for $300 . He had them on his BMW 325i. I am using 1.5" billet adapters front and rear since the offset was different.
