Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I've always liked my wheels, but would like to try a 17" version with 45 series sidewalls (and then lower the car a good 2" as well).

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I think you missed it. Wheels made by trueforged. Model isChicane. I think from research the 295/30r18 tire or close to it rims are 18x10.5. Fronts are 18x8.5? Not sure about tire

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Budnik makes a wheel called Chicane. Is Trueforged and Budnik the same?

.
Upon further review, same name, different wheel.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I like my toque thrust m's. I found them on a fourth gen firebird in a junkyard, and I bought the wheels and tires for 300. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
those wheels look killer! iv always favored and been a big fan of deep dish rims, but if i were to go the opposite way, those would be the wheel of choice. that rear wheel just looks sick how deep it actualy goes with the spokes steadily bowing out to the edge. iv seen certian lambos factory wheels pull in like that.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Mine should be even deeper than those, an ET of 15 instead of 20 or 45.
I wanted this look without the insane price tag
The other choise was a set of Vertini Magic Concave wheels but they say "vertini concave" on the rim and it's machined on the black wheels. It's hideous

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
295/35/18 on the rear, I have 1 picture of it on the car but unfortunately I don't have the correct lug nuts to bolt it properly on the car. Also, I need to replace the spring on that side because it sags so much more than the other side. Will just do all 4 springs and shocks/struts while I am there.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
thought i had seen these on this thread. i really like the way they look on the car.
need to drop the front a bit, but need to figure out a way not to scrape the long tubes on the speed bumps

Are those 11's on the rear? And do you ever rub on the fender lip in hard cornering?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Those Trueforged wheels... I'm speaking with them about getting a set. Anyone have a guess on the offset on those? The Trueforged are pricy so I would like to see some other options as far as used stuff. kthx!
