Ah, okay. I thought they looked like different sizes. I not a big fan of chrome any more, but they look really good on your car. Just enough chrome without being too gaudy.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Got the tires mounted to the wheels Saturday, Sunday I mounted them on the car. I can't get the center caps on the front wheels because of the dust cap. I am not posting any side pictures until I detail the car. It is filthy. Here is a teaser picture though.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
It's always been about $60 or me, but that's bringing my own tires and doing a premium balance.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
paid 100 but they couldnt replace these rims...lol
they are perfect formula rims that have been powder coated. I was impress that they didnt scratch the lip since the lip is powercoated.. much sorrow to the "like chrome lip" crowd.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Best I can do, my phone takes decent pictures, but it isn't very good with bright or low lighting. Also didn't get a chance to clean the car, been busy building a tiki hut.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
i'd love to see something like this on a GTA... These are MMR GT1's are 18"
I'd get the centre painted Gold though to accent the original styling...
Is it me, or is there very little in the way of 16" performance tires these days?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Yeah, but they look pretty big compared to the stock junk. Hard to believe GM put such a wimpy brake set-up on a performance car.
