Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Yeah, I got confused, thinking those styles were optional, with the 85-87 IROC rim as the "base" IROC rim, when in reality, it was the 15" Z28 rim. ...
Actually, as long as we're getting technical here, the 15" wheel was not available on the IROC-Z until 1988 when the IROC-Z became a "model" as opposed to an "option" on a Z28. And at that point, the 15" version was styled the same as the 16" (by then optional) wheel (like in Gary's second photo).
From 1985 through 1987 when the IROC-Z package was an option on a Z28, the 16" wheel was part of that IROC-Z option. That's why the '85-'87 IROC-Z Camaros have Z28 emblems on the gfx, rear bumper, etc. Beginning in 1988 those were replaced by small IROC-Z in those same locations.
The classic 3rd Gen 15" Z28 wheel was never available on the IROC-Z package. (Like this one....)

I think we have had this conversation before, But My 1987 Iroc has Iroc-z emblems on the gfx and rear bumper No Z28 emblems. It still has both original side Iroc emblems. The rear bumper one has been changed due to it be ruined when the car was painted.
I bought the car with 35k on it from the original dealership were the original owner traded it in. It was show room newand completely stock. I highly doubt the original owner changed them. Which leads me to beleive GM changed them sometime mid year during the 1987 model year.

Yes, we have and that's certainly an enigma, and would be the only one I have ever seen or heard of that way. I recall there being quite a big deal made when the IROC-Z became a "model" in 1988. But, stranger things have happened, that's for sure.
