Lot's of nice rims. But why are so many of them just a take off or a different version of a 5 spoke rim? Some have dual spokes but still in a 5 star pattern.
I just get tired of the same old 5 spoke done a little different.
I am quite partial to the original GTA crosslace rim and similar style. They're also just about the lightest rim in their size you can get.

I really wanted to get the ROH Drift R wheels, but at the time they were not availble, and the salesman said that even though they were originally planning making them for the 3rd Gen cars, it looked as tho they were not. So I went with the ZS...

Everytime I see the Torque Thrust II American Racing Wheels on any 3rd Gen F-Body (especially Firebirds), I know I'll always have a back up wheel option if I can't find anything I like when I remake a beast in the future...

I haven't decided which route or how much to lower it.

Well I got the 17X9.5" crosslace wheels from another massage board on the classified section they are 4th gen offset, so I've got a 4th gen rear and spacers in the front. I have seen a set for sale in the classified section as well but they were red. I think my wheels were made by Epsilon, but I'm not positive.

Although you guys have showed ALOT of wheel's, I still havent seen what I want... hard to please perhaps..LOL
I want five double spokes, chrome, and a 3 way rim, wider in the back than in the frnt, with a wide lip. See, that's not to hard, now if I only could find any that won't cost an arm and a leg.... uh, what do kidney's go for these days... we got two of 'em, right?

Those are cool, but not what I'm thinking of. They are more like these\/ only these perticular ones don't fit our cars...

I did a search but only came up with a few people. It looks like that 4th gen has two different size wheels on it. The backspacing is definately different on it. But, it does look good.

I've seen some guys run 275/40/17's all the way around with 17x9.5" wheels. That is what I would love to run if only the smoothie II's would come in those sizes. Oh well.
