I always liked the stock 16" 91-92 Anniversary rims.
Can't go wrong with the "sleeper" look, especially
with an "RS"!

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...

Yeah I hven't even check to see if they will fit, I really like my roh RTs but I want to get some 18s and the 17s are already really heavy so I am trying to find a nice 5 spoke that is comparitively(sp) light.
