Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients this 1985-1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 17x9 Gray Wheel Individual, Hawks Restoration Parts HT179IROCZGRAY-85-I. This reproduction wheel is modeled after the original 1985-1987 Camaro IROC-Z 16x8 wheel and upsized to 17x9. It features a gray five-spoke center, factory-style outer lip, 5x4.75-inch bolt pattern, +12mm offset, and 5.5-inch backspacing. The underlying HT179IROCZGRAY-85 wheel is documented for third-generation Camaro and Firebird applications.
This is the IROC look without messing with the recipe. Five spokes, gray finish, big enough to fill the wheel wells, and enough attitude to make a third-gen look like it means business. Whether you're bringing an original IROC back to life or building a nasty street car around the classic F-body shape, these wheels keep the period-correct vibe while giving you a 17-inch platform to work with.
