Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I'm wanting something like a FR500 for my Z28,... Black with polished lip...
I don't care if it is a "Mustang wheel" they are hot as hell. There has got to be something really close to this look that'll fit my car.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
ROH Snypers, 17x9 front & rear, with the correct offset, no adapters. They come in solid "silver", but who says you can't paint the spokes/centers black?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
If that’s what you really want then I’d try finding someone who is making reproductions and see if you can get them without the center hubs totally machined and have them cut to fit a GM pattern.
Similar idea, I like my ZO6 rims, which may end up with the centers painted back depending on what color the car ends up (in the attached picture the car is sitting on jack stands, it really doesn’t sit that high)

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Manovox,
The largest Rim ANY 3rd gen had was a 17x9.5 and that was the Firehawk ALL other F-bodies was the 16x8, IROC, Z28, GTA, Formula, or Trans Am...

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
By "Factory" are you referring to GM or the "Factory" referring to the Wheel manufacturer...
When I hear (or see) "Factory" I think the Van Nuys, CA Assy Plant or the Norwood Assembly Plant.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I love the 91/92 rims to everyones dismay. Just re-finishing them now...
They were white before and I painted the inners silver rather than the factory grey that should come with a black car.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I know i've always wanted ROH ZS RACING rims but they got discontinued. And I think its pointless not to get 9.5" rims on F-bodies because they fit. I'm probably going to get 38mm ZR1 rims and paint the centers gunmetal. SLP Zr1s are really nice but there only 8in wide.
Any body got more pics of ZR1 rims??? I can't decide to get them or not.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Just get the ones you want, then ship them off to Weldcraft & have them widened (or narrowed) to what you want them to be.
