New wheels

Got some ROH snypers on ebay.. what do you guys think?
Changes the look completely, I love em so far.

Old black crosslaced Enkei's are on ebay now if anyone interested. They might make a good set for the track that would semi match stock crosslaces. I think they are actually a little lighter than the snypers. PM me if interested.

Here's the snypers:

Looks good, I have the same rims on my 91 - though they aren't in the same shape that I purchased them in

Thanks, I have been thinking of getting another set, or at least getting replacing each wheel slowly if possible. See the passenger side front has a dent in the bead (bubble in the tire) and the passenger side rear has a blemish on the bead. Both occured since I was the owner and had them actually on the IROC. However I take total responsibility for the blemish to the rear rim, that was me hitting a curb But the bend to the front tire came from a nasty pot hole that opened up during the rains we had winter of 2004 Oh well at least they have come from drive and not from dropping them on the garage floor

BTW - Nigel, that truck looks bitchen!

JDwheels has the Snypers at $206 a wheel for 17X9. They went up from when I bought mine a couple years back. I paid $179 a wheel back then for 17x9. I like the ROH Drift R. I don't know if they come in thirdgen fitment but they do look nice especially if on a black car.


Thanks about the truck. I missed having a truck and I figured if I was going to get another Toyota truck at least get one with options this time It's limited production so it should hold some value over the years. My buddy Joey has my TA so I still get to see her but I do miss that car She's been running great since I sold it last Sep. He put in a 12" Kicker Solobaric L7 subwoofer in it. Sounds banging.

The Drift-R's are made to fit thirdgen f-bodies 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. I was thinking about getting them but I settled for the Centrelines.

You got a side shot of your car with those wheels Vince? They look like they have a nice dish to them. Very nice

black centers seem to be en vogue right now but something tells me that its just a fad. i do like that style for black anyway.

Yea black is the new chrome. Still I have always like the black on black look with a chrome or polished lip. Nice Firebird though. It looks really clean especially with those wheels. Snypers are sweet

Those drifts do look nice I might have to see if I can get the centercaps in a different variation, though I am still pretty partial to the Synpers.

I got them from JD WHEELS Custom alloy wheels and performance tires Back when I bought them a couple years back they were $179 but it looks like the price went up some. Still shipping was fast and the wheels were packaged well
