Anyone have firebird with ROH snypers?

Anybody got a trans am or a firebird with the ROH snyper rims?
I'm thinking of getting them in the 17x9.5 size with I'm assuming the 5.5 backspacing.
If you got pictures please post them?

Yeah there's a few of them, I'm sure someone will post.

They look good, but they look better when you have big ol' nice 4-wheel disc brakes. With drums.......eh.

I think this qualifies...

Mine are 17x8s, and yes you can see every bit of my stock disc brakes...

Looks amazing formularpm!!
I have a 91 gta, those rims would look amazing, but you have a much better color and paint job.
Do mind me asking what they cost you?

Ive got the 17x8s with 255/40/ZR17 Falkens, the rims have stock backspacing and I got a great deal on them for ~$185 apiece. Thanks for the compliments guys.

heres a little different view of them on my bird. These are 17x9 all around. Since that pic was taken, ive lowered the car probably 3 inches and I cant get over how good it looks lowered, even back when the pic was taken, it didnt look that bad, but with the brakes, I just got some slotted rotors, and painted my calipers nice and it look pretty decent.

I do like those rims, and you had the right idea cleaning up the disc and rotors behind them good job. One thing I can't stand with the new rim craze in the last five years are these cars putting thin spoke open rims on there cars and having there tiny 10" disc with rusted rotors, or even worse drums showing through. Nice firebirds to both who posted above.
