Are IROC wheels an option?

They are. I just haven't found any in my area up to this point. I definitely like that look, tho. I've also been thinking about slot mags or a turbine wheel.

That's exactly what I had on mine. It was blue too. But, mine was a shortbed. But, I still say white letter tires tho.
No doubt. White letters are a given regardless of what I end up going with.

Always thought they were a good fit
Yeah, they fit fine. That is one reason when people do a v-8 swap, the best option is to buy a body damaged iroc or close, can swap almost everything from one to the other for the least cost v-8 conversion.

Oh, lol. Personally, never liked those rims on anything, was just the cheapest rims you could find in the wrecking yard for my rust bucket hoopties.

My favorite S-10 wheels were the ones that LOOKED like the IROC wheels, but came on the S-10 from the factory, with the sport appearance package. I ordered a new S-10 back in 2001 with this package, and it looked very sexy. Mine was black, and I ordered no bells and whistles. Just the 4.3V6, sport appearance package, and extended cab. Mine was black, and I de-badged it, then added Mote Carlo "SS" badges to it.

These are the wheels I'm talking about below..

Lucky dog. They were nearly impossible to find in my area for a while. It took a couple years to finally find a set when I was looking in the early 00's. It was so frustrating to find a set, it's probably the reason I have a hoard of them now.

If you want, I can get a pic of what I put on my blazer, white letters are out. Will get the sizes too. Seemed like I remember something about the truck and blazer having slightly different width axle...if so, offset would be different.
