| Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims I have always liked my stock rims, but I like them polished better. I was considering chroming them but after going through the 17 pages of this post, I decided chrome is too much shine for me. I'll keep my rims the way they are.
A lowered car makes them look even better. |

Tell me it's TPI!
Ronal R15s are the best "aftermarket" rims
Best factory are IROCs--I see Monte SS wearing them, S10s ect |

Car: 91 Formula | Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims My old heap is just an lo3. Kind of an insult for a Formula, but oh well. It's still good to cruise around the desert with the tops out. "Maiu Blue" is the original color from the factory.
I was torn between the Ronals and ROH Snypers, but the R15's look the best on that color car. I need to get some clear side markers next.  |

I'm adding my contribution to this good and long post!
When time came for me to change my rims, I took a very long time before getting decided. Rims can make or ruin the look of a car. plus I had to choose at least 17's because of my Baer brakes. Moreover, I wanted to keep the spirit of the car intact so I discarded many rims because of too recent looking. This the same reason I didn't to go with 18's
I founded an awesome model but it was not available anymore. It was the corsa model from Niche. They were awesome.
I finally got a set of ZR1 replicas for third gen. I'm not disappointed by the result. They look pretty good to me for my ride and they respect the kind of design for these years.
What you guys think about the Niche Corsa ? |
