Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients this 1985-1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 17x9 Chrome Wheel Individual, Hawks Restoration Parts HT179IROCZCHROME-85-I. This reproduction wheel is based on the original 1985-1987 IROC-Z 16x8 styling and upsized to 17x9. It features a chrome five-spoke center design, factory-style outer lip, 5x4.75-inch bolt pattern, +12mm offset, and 5.5-inch backspacing. The underlying HT179IROCZCHROME-85 wheel is documented for third-generation Camaro and Firebird applications.
This is classic IROC-Z attitude with a little more wheel under it. The five-spoke design is instantly recognizable, and the chrome finish gives the third-gen that period-correct flash without looking like somebody bolted a set of random wheels onto it. Get the stance right, throw some good rubber on it, and let that IROC look do the talking.
