Who sells the 17" and 18" IROC wheels?
I've looked online at several OE wheels places that reproduction wheels but can't find the IROC's. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Mike

I know this doesnt help, but when I was looking I found 2 companies that sell the 17 and 18 IROC in an as-cast finish. I just can't remember the name....sorry

Yeah I don't really want chrome IROC's, would much rather have polished aluminum with the black accent in the spokes. Well I'll keep looking, surely someone makes them, if I find out who then I'll post it up. Btw here is my car with the stock 16's... If I can't find any 17's then I'll just keep my stock wheels on. GM did a good job with designing the IROC camaro's, even the wheels are nice..

All the aftermarket ones now are chrome. You're not gonna be able to get them in plain aluminum. They used to make them in regular aluminum finish - that's what Mr IROCZ has:

I think he mentioned that the company that made his wheels went out of business.

Also American Racing's Chrome IROC wheel:

One of the posters earlier mentioned some that made them in regular aluminum finish - I'd be very curious to find out who they are. I just know that I, along with others, have looked before for regular finish aluminum IROCs and they're just hard to find. I guess everyone thinks we only want tacky chrome wheels?

Re: Who sells the 17" and 18" IROC wheels?
I modify my statement from above. Its not that its hard finding aftermarket 17-18in IROC rims...its finding them that are wider then 8in. Which if you are going to go taller then 16 (IMO) you need to go wider.
If they made 18x9.5 IROC's....I would never look at another set of wheels again.

Re: Who sells the 17" and 18" IROC wheels?
Thats my beef with a lot of good looking wheels. SLP ZR1's are in that category too. Some of the best looking wheels I've ever seen... but only 8 inches wide?! Seriously?!
Also, this may not be what you want to hear, but there are companies out there that make billet wheels. You can probably have them make you some, but it'll cost you.

A few years ago I worked with Oasis on getting some polished (non-chromed) wheels made. They offered to do a bunch, so I tried to organize a group purchase and got virtually no interest. I didn't get a single person willing to buy a set.

Oasis is the company I found that offered them in an as-cast finish.
Just went to the company website. Chrome only confirmed.....

If those weren't 20s and came in a 17x9.5 version, I'd buy them right now.
