I like my 10 spokes but I prefer a wheel with more lip.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I'm wanting something like a FR500 for my Z28,... Black with polished lip...
I don't care if it is a "Mustang wheel" they are hot as hell. There has got to be something really close to this look that'll fit my car.

ROH Snypers, 17x9 front & rear, with the correct offset, no adapters. They come in solid "silver", but who says you can't paint the spokes/centers black?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
  • Well the FR500's are 18"x 9" wide with
  • 5-lug on 4.50" bolt circle,5.98" backspacing and a 24mm offset.
Not sure they would be a great fit on a 3rd gen but I wouldn't hate to have them on mine if they were.

You need bigger brakes for those wheels to fill the space.

Not sure they would be a great fit on a 3rd gen but I wouldn't hate to have them on mine if they were.
They make bolt on adaptor spacers with 2 different bolt patters, but usually they have a minimum thickness of 1.25”. With that offset they’d probably fit best with a 1” spacer on the front and ½-3/4” on the back… Maybe something custom made out of steel might work on the front (maybe like the “wave” spacers used by the circle track guys), and then a ¼” normal spacer and redrilled axles might work on the back (they’ll fit about like stock 16” wheels).

If that’s what you really want then I’d try finding someone who is making reproductions and see if you can get them without the center hubs totally machined and have them cut to fit a GM pattern.

Similar idea, I like my ZO6 rims, which may end up with the centers painted back depending on what color the car ends up (in the attached picture the car is sitting on jack stands, it really doesn’t sit that high)

Hey... actually, all of that was being used or about to be used, the closest thing there to trash was the pile of gallon bottles on the car and those were being saved to get rid of used oil...
