Grant GT Wheel
I was in the parts store the other day and i saw a Grant wheel #773 on sale and i thought my that will look good on my firebird. So i picked-up the wheel and the grips felt pretty good, but i don't i know it might make the car look good but will the feel of the handling of the car be different since the Grant wheel is 13" Dia. and my stock 83 wheel is 14" Dia. What do you guys think, or do any of you have one already??

I have the Grant Evolution on mine and it made no difference in the feel as far as handling goes. It's also a 13" instead of the former 14".

I have a Grant wheel on my 86 Trans Am, made the steering stiffer, which I wanted it too.
The stock wheel made the steering too easy.

I've got the 13" Challenger wheel that sells for around $45 on my 87Z. I really love the thing, it kicks the **** outta the stock wheel in every way. The grip is really nice and if it ever wears out (no signs yet) I can swap on a new replacement wheel in 5 mins for only $45...
