Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients this 1988-1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 17x9 Gray Wheel Individual, Hawks Restoration Parts HT179IROCZ-I. This reproduction wheel recreates the aggressive five-spoke appearance of the 1988-1990 IROC-Z wheel in a larger 17x9 configuration. It features a gray center, factory-style outer lip, 5x4.75-inch bolt pattern, +12mm offset, and 5.5-inch backspacing. The underlying HT179IROCZ wheel is documented for 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird applications.
This is classic third-gen stuff done the right way. The IROC-Z wheel design is one of those shapes you can spot from across the parking lot, and the 17x9 size gives the car a much more serious footprint without turning it into something that looks like it came from another decade. Get the stance right, put some modern rubber on it, and let that third-gen look like it has somewhere to be.
