It had been sitting with the face of the wheel against the seat back so I never saw the damage. I did manage to get a used tire for the passenger rear. I mounted the 4th busted IROC wheel up while I was chasing a good used tire. The other 3 should hold air long enough to get me on and off the trailer. I’ve only got to go about 3 miles.
Now to decide if it’s time to buy a 16” IROC or a repro set of 17 or 18” IROC’s.
Kinda funny when I went to get a used tire the first shop I went to had a 21 year old guy working their (I had to ask how old he was) I said I needed a 245/50/16 roller tire for an ‘87 IROC-Z.
He said, “ what the hell is an IROC-Z” then I asked how old he was and we both got a bit of a laugh as I explained.

Ouch. That's a little more than a scratch on that rim. I like stock wheels but I might go with the 18's. Tough decision but it'll look great either way. I mostly worry about price and how they fit.
I'm sorry but a 21 year old guy should know about what came before him. I worked with this kid and he didn't know who Humphrey Bogart was.
Bogart may have been before his time but he was before my time too and I knew who he was.
