Got me some new to me wheels.

Story goes, I'm needing some tires for my 91 s10. Hated the wheels that are on my truck because P/O put 14's on front and 15's on back. 14's are hard enough to find as it is. plus there chrome steel, so there rusting, and I don't have time to be waxing these things everyweek.
My uncle had two 86-89? iroc wheels in his barn. So I go looking on Ebay for two more ran across these. all four with fairly new tires. seller says they only have 5000 miles on them. and according to the pics seems about right. anyways 227.64 shipped. So i don't think I went wrong. End up with newer tires, and 16's all around. They weren't exactly what I want but I'll settle for now. I eventually want to find a set of the 2000 - up Zq8 wheels but they are hard to get a hold of in my area.

I always liked those wheels on s10's. I think you scored pretty good.

The arrived today via fed ex. Put them on the truck, I'm gunna need to find a bigger set of tires for the back. 225 60 16 is just alittle to short for the rear. like the way they look though.

those wheels should be marked front and back on the insides of them.... if you put the fronts on the back of the truck they will fit better

all four are fronts,
67redneck, yeah when they put these wheels on the cars, they had to actuall push the front wheel out further to clear all the brake components and keep the bigger 8" wide front wheels from scrubbing. The Trans am GTA wheels are the same way.

Close- They had to give the rears more backspace so the 16" tires on the cars wouldn't hit the sheetmetal. You can run the front rim/tire on almost any vehicle, but the rears usually are limited to 82-up firebird/camaro cars or you need to run spacers.

Nice score.

I had a set of GTA wheels on my 79 malibu, they looked realy sharp on that car. Sorry but don't have any pics of the bu' with those wheels on them.
I got myself some bigger tires feels my fender wells up alot better on my s10, plus my speedo is now reading correctly. I put 235/60's on the rear and 225/60's on the frt. I didn't get done swapping the tires around before it got dark. I really hate Day light savings.
