PA3 wheels

TexasBlaZeR2 · Post by **TexasBlaZeR2** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 2:26 pm

Here is a question for everyone in this forum. I hear discussions of the ZR5 wheels and N90's which are stock wheels on CCs. However, nobody on this site seems to have PA3 wheels. They are good looking wheels that come with ZR2s.

The ZR2 guys put ZR5s and N90s on their rigs, but most CC owners seem to be sticking with stock. I think a set of the PA3s would look good on a CC. How come nobody has tried to put a st of these on their rig??

I just tried to post three images above. However, they won't show up. What am I doing wrong when I post my images? I can't get them to show. Can someone please assist and tell me how to fix?

Read the related topics in the Information Forum. These are over the 100k limit , so I linked them. I also split the topic so that the ZR5 wheel thread stays on topic -HJ

Thanks,

I would disagree. Most crew cab owners around here have changed wheels. Either they have gone to aftermarket wheels or as in my case switched to ZR5 wheels.
I think the majority have aftermarket though. If I were to guess the black "rockcrawler" wheels are predominant. I think there are at least five or six with them.

I went 17in chrome cause I wanted it to stand out

Yes, there are people in here who have changed.

This was originally posted in response to a posting where advice was given to look for some N90s and moved to this area of the forum. Therefore, the posting it followed is no longer there.

I guess I should rephrase my statement to say that most people who choose to stay with factory rims either use ZR5s or N90s. I was just wondering why nobody seems to have done the "different" thing of putting PA3s on their CC.

The truth is that I am curious to see what they look like on a CC...especially one with ZR5 flares. So far I haven't found a picture of a CC to look at with them on except Blazers and Ext Cabs.

I have seen a picture of a red first gen Blazer with PA3's

I absolutely love the look of the PA3's, and would probably jump on them providing I find a set rediculously cheap somewhere. Otherwise, my next set will be black rock crawlers

What about these?

$50 plus shipping is pretty cheap for 5 wheels.

That is a good deal HJ. PA3s came with the ZR2 package in both Blazers and Pickups for the past few years. They were optional on other Blazers and S-10s.

Hmmm.....seems my Zr2.com account is gone. Brule, do you happen to know his zipcode and the weight of the wheels? 86 lbs for 4 would be right wouldn't it?

Just a guess , but I would think heavier than ZR5 wheels?

Box them in pairs and my guess would be 45-50# per pair.

Would love to see some pics of your CC if you get PA3s Walt. I like the idea of it being factory wheels, but not stock...like ZR5s on ZR2s...a little bit different.

I like aftermarket too. Eventually I will probably get some bigger rims and tires like Henry.

N90s were about 47-48 pounds for two to ship together. UPS shipped the 4 N90's in packs of two for $62 total from NC to GA. They only took two days to get there too.

I can have them shipped for around $50 from MA. THe only thing is that guy is fairly new to Zr2.com. I'd prefer to deal with someone who's a bit more established....

There is another one more established selling a set now because he is getting another set. See classifieds for the ad.

Does anyone in this forum actually have PA3 wheels on their rig? I am just really curious to see what they look like on a CC....

Here is a close up I just found of the PA3s:

I havent ever seen a CC with them on

TexasBlaZeR2 · Post by **TexasBlaZeR2** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 9:15 am

That surprises me.

How come nobody has tried? I have seen them on 2 and 4 door Blazers, 2 door S-10s, S-10 ext cabs, but never on a CC either.

They are good looking wheels...agressive looking wheels...stock on ZR2s. I would think that putting PA3s on a CC would be unique and different.

What does everyone else think?

jeff024 · Post by **jeff024** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 11:35 am

ok I guess but for the price of stock wheels why not get aftermarket

Post by **Walt** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 12:12 pm

After giving it alot of thought, especially after having installed Justin's flares, I've decided to wait and go with black rock crawler wheels instead of the PA3's.

jeff024 · Post by **jeff024** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 12:46 pm

I just couldnt see going with a stock wheel maybe not stock on the CC but are stockers on the ZR2s

TexasBlaZeR2 · Post by **TexasBlaZeR2** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 8:17 pm

Understood. I decided to go with some factory wheels until I get bigger tires. At least they are different. Really like the AR Bajas, but they do not have the correct backspacing.
