Default Weld RTS rims on my street/strip 3rdgen
I had Weld Prostars on my car for many years and wanted something different so I got a set of Welt RTS rims with the black centers. The pics don't really do it justice, I'll get some better pics later outside of the garage. I think it definately gives it an updated look. The fronts are 15x4.25 and the rears are 15x8.25 w/ 4.5in backspacing.

Wow, I like! My very first car was a charcoal gray 1984 Camaro and I loved it, your's brings back a lot of memories. It's nice to see guys restoring the 3rd Gen's. Good job and thanks for posting, the Weld's look great!

I'm with this ^ guy! I sold my '84 to a buddy and got to drive it again the other night! Talk about bringing back old, good memories. They are NICE cars! Easy to drive and see out of, the '84 feels lighter than my '02 and fun to throw around! OP, more pics, including from the front please!

Thanks for the comments. For comparison here are a few pics with the Prostars..still had a 383SBC in these pics too. I'll get some better pics with the RTS rims when I get the car out next.

Wow that thing is clean! Super nice! Have you thought about sending pictures to Camaro Performers? People are always complaining they need more 3rd gen coverage in the magazine. Your car should grace the pages easy!

Thanks for the kind words, I've never thought much about sending pics into Camaro Performers. I did get a pic of it in Car Craft a few years ago when it still had a 383SBC. Once I get some better pics I'll send some into Camaro Performers and see what happens.
