A few pics of this car have been floating around here ever since ronal put the wheels back on the market. I just right clicked and saved'em.

That is it.
That's the car I saw. It's bad to the bone, awesome. The funny thing is that he got beat by a 91 rs convertible at the show with a 305 TPI in it and a cowl hood, otherwise the car was crap. I was pissed, that car is killer, I saw it at a Super Chevy show in Pomona CA.

The main reason that I like these wheels is that they are 9.5 inches wide and don't require spacers. I just wish someone made an aftermarket 9.5 inch IROC wheel.

There's a headlight thread somewhere, I forget where it is. Anyway, the lights are chevy celebrity lights, simple cut out, fabbed a bracket, and bolted in.
I'm not a big fan of these rims either, but I like them because they are sublte and give the car a more stock appearance.

Rubbing? Not really. I can turn lock to lock without hearing any "bad" noises, but my front swaybay is shinny in a small area. Right now the front has 1/2" spacers so I think it used to rub, but the previous owner put the spacers to solve the problem. My car also has the baer track kit with the floating rotor, so I don't know if that's why the spacers were needed.

Here's a side shot.
I bought the car pretty much as it looks for $6500. It's kind of a lot , but I didn't mind spending that much cause the car was pretty flawless inside and out with only 32000 miles. Ususally I don't like buying other peoples "projects", but this is my 3rd thirdgen so I knew wht to look for and the previous owner spared no expense. It needs some paint in a few areas, but no big deal to me.
Since I bought it, I did the headlights, tinted the windshield, added a recaro seat, re-did the alarm, re-did the exhaust, added a holley commander 950, and dropped it an additional inch. It has eibach springs, but I didn't take note of which type they were when I cut them.
I think 17s are a good size to go with. Just make sure you get the right offset.

OMG THAT CAR IS AMAZING! IM SOO BUYING RONALS FHWK WHEELS!!!!!! :hail: :hail:

The reason the ronals look soo good on a Camaro is that it already comes with a fat, 5spoke rim to begin with. It doesn't change the lines of the car at all, but the deep dish rims sets it off, and gives it a more agressive stance.
Its hard to put words to just why I like it. But I love those rims on any thirdgen. Oh yes, I do.
