Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients this 1985-1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 17x9 Gold Wheel Individual Hawks Restoration Parts HT179IROCZGOLD-85-I, a new reproduction wheel modeled after the original 1985-1987 IROC-Z 16x8 wheel styling and upsized to 17x9. The wheel features the classic gold five-spoke center design, factory-style outer lip, 5x4.75 bolt pattern, +12mm offset, and 5.5-inch backspacing.
This is pure third-gen attitude. Gold IROC-Z wheels, 17x9 sizing, and that unmistakable F-body profile—it's hard to get much more period-correct without digging through the classifieds for a set of originals. Whether you're replacing one damaged wheel, finishing a staggered-looking project, or bringing an IROC-Z back to life, this is the kind of wheel that makes the whole car look right. Get the wheel on, get the tires mounted, and get her done.
The HT179IROCZGOLD-85 is designed around 1985-1987 IROC-Z styling while Hawks documents the wheel for third-generation Camaro and Firebird applications. The wheel weighs approximately 28.4 lbs without the center cap, and 275/40/17 is a commonly recommended tire size for the 17x9 application.
This listing is for ONE individual wheel. Center caps, lug nuts, lug nut covers, valve stems, and other accessories are not included unless specifically stated.
