I am going to buy a set of chrome iroc replicas for my 84 camaro and am looking for some advice. Which should I buy? The ones from American Racing or the ones from Custom wheel Market.


heres the american racing ones...
and here are the Custom wheels market...



They both look great, but looking for some opinions. Thanks

I just got 20" with black inserts... $700 shipped from Ebay. I really like the black inserts because it looks more like stock and it adds some contrast to the nice lines of the wheels.

To me they're the exact same rims just stamped with different name brand. I know many will debate this, but keep in mind almost everything is made in China nowadays! I went with an 18" replica made by Velocity Wheels. So far they're holding up pretty good. Keep in mind I was more concerned on saving a few bucks. I know AR are a bit more expensive.

Thanks for your input guys, Z28 Johnny can you pm me with a web address or something to get me to where you bought yours. I haven't seen the black inserts before, very interested. Thanks for your time and help.

Correction, everything CHEAP is made in china. There are plenty of quality companies left here building quality products for those willing to pay for the craftsmanship. I can't tell you the last time I bought a car part that was produced in china.

These are the ones I got. If you want 18's a different place on ebay has them, but the offset is like 10 or 13 instead of 0 like what I have. I wanted 18's on the front with 0 offset but couldn't find them, and the 18's are 8.5" wide instead of 9"

And if you have 16" IROCs right now, the center caps pop right into the center cap holes on the 20's

Here is more of a close up picture after I lowered it with Eibach Sportlines this week. I got a solid 1 1/2" before any settling. 285/30 rear 255/30 front, no rubbing (I had a tiny bit on the front tire on the rear of the wheel well plastic... it was ever so slight and I pushed it in now it is fine)

Z28 Johnny, those rims look great on your car and if I could find 18 with the black insert I would buy them right away. Been searching the net high and low and will find what I am looking for yet. How much did the sportlines set you back and is the ride much different after?

Z28Johnny

I got the sportlines from Summit for like $225 and then Eibach has a 10% summer rebate right now... So roughly $200. You could get the 18's with the small offset and put a small spacer in there to push them back out. I haven't even backed out of the drive way with the new front springs installed. I need to put my intake runners and plenum back on (replaced EGR, fuel pressure regulator and fuel injectors).
