The only set of steelies I've seen that actually look half decent and don't need wheelcovers.

Here are the Standard V6 wheels (level up from steelies for non rs cars)



Remind me of the old IROC wheels.

the base(non-steelies) do look like Irocs the steel wheels look pretty good for being the bottom of the line. Where was that black camaro shot at?

I wonder what the weight is of a bottom line v6 car (no options, steelies..etc..) compared to the 3,500lbs (or was it 3,700?) V6/RS

Much better looking than the bling bling SUV wheels the SS has. Not to mention better traction. I wonder if they would fit with the SS's Brembo brakes.

Yeah I hadn't seen or even heard of them until just now either.
Not bad at all.
If there is ever a Police Pursuit/Highway Patrol model introduced I'm sure that's the wheels it will have (as long as it clears the V8's brakes).

Saw those wheels on a car at the Dallas show & hated them.
