Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
personally i think these would look great, if the car were lowered right and had good bodywork, question though what would it take to make them fit?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
This thread has more than doubled since I posted in it 4 years ago. And at that time, this thread was already 5 years old!
The Boze/ZE Forged 'Boost' is another aftermarket wheel that I think would look great on any thirdgen. And all of its dimensions can be custom-sized to the buyer's preferences. A lot of people won't like the "rivets," but I do. They're not overdone, and they add a touch of "strength." These might've already been posted somewhere in this thread, but I didn't go through this entire thread because it's 33 pages long!
GTA wheels in chrome. They look great. I always suspected they would... glad to finally see a set like that. The car looks great too, very well-kept.

Yeah, I would love a set of those Boost wheels on my GTA. Too bad you have to take out a second mortgage on your house to be able to afford them though.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Thanks everyone. I searched through every wheel and every manufacturer I could find seeing what looked best, and I kept coming back to the Daggers.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I was looking for a set of Hamann knockoffs and first found the Dotz Mugello and Proline PI rims.
Looking further I found a set that comes closer to the sharp edged Hamanns at rougly the price of the Dotz Mugellos
I might consider ordering a set for my Camaro, in 17x8 with 245/45 tires

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
thanks man, those are considered deep dish zo6 wheels just cause they are inset about an inch compared to factory c6 zo6 wheels i was going to go with the chrome c5 but i couldnt find any in the size i wanted for the price! a local shop wanted 2000 for wheels and tires and then 400 for all of the adapters! i picked up my wheels on ebay for 750 with shipping amd then tires for $96 a tire 255/40/17 riken raptors then all my adapters for 186 after shipping so i did pretty good on saving money haha ALWAYS CHECK ONLINE FIRST!!

I'll answer for Justin since I don't think he visits this forum anymore... his wheels are Boyd Coddington 'Hotrods' 18x8 up front and 18x10 rear, no spacer, direct bolt ons. Hope this helps!
