I used the spacers from www.fbodymotorsports.com they were 240.00 I think. Not to steal this thread but does anyone know if you can put third gen wheels on a 4th gen? if so would the only that that will happen is the rims will stick out a little?

I was wondering if anybody had ever put the Salad Shooters on a 3rd Gen Car. Actually I was trying to get an opinion on it do you think they'd look like crap on this car? lol i'm inbetween the 2000+ Camaro SS Rims, 91-92 Z28 Wheels, Or the Salad Shooters. Money wise the 91-92 Z wheels are the way to go but I really want my Maro to stand out. As for the spacers I didn't think they would be so d*** expensive. But making your car look good isn't cheap. Oh well it's something to think about I guess.

The IROC/Z28 5 spokes looks really good, especially if they are chromed. Dont put the salad shooters on there. Cause the cheaper wheels lok better anyway. THe SS 10 spokes I think would look good.

Salad shooter look like @ss regardless of what car they are on. Only wheel I've seen thats worse is the '93/'94 transam style 3-spoke salad shooters. It was a crime when GM produced these wheels.

It doesn't look bad but i'm wanting to repaint the car black. Sorry guys changed my mind on the color again lol. So any wheel that I buy has to look good with that color. The SS's would be sweet so would the 91 - 92 Z28 wheels. I was thinking about putting some 87 IROC Rims on it too. I always loved those wheels oh well the debate continues. The good thing about the 87 Wheels is I wouldn't have to deal with those D*** spacers lol.
