Salad Shooters on my '92

I know a lot of people don't like them but I think they look pretty good on the car the way it is. I definitly won't keep them after it gets painted black.

looks good, but I always thought they referred to the rims on the newer firebireds as salad shooters, not the Camaro ones



Best picture that I could find in a quick search...

I got mine off ebay for around $200. THe sellers name was "completevalue" but I don't think he currently has any up for auction. Only reason I even got them was because the wheels and tires were free from someone on a regional board and the spacers were a steel.

Salad shooters should have been a thirdgen wheel. They look great on our cars!

There were a few things that were on the 4th gen that should have been on the third... not a fan of salad shooters but they do look better on thirds and the rectangular exaust tips look better on thirds too!

Hmm I usually hate these on third gens but they look good on your car! Maybee its the primer I dunno. If it were me id keep that car like that and use it for my daily driver and get a project car to fix up. No clue about your situation or plans, just think it would be cool to have a car like that I referred to as my daily driver.
Oh and wtf is a Camaro Stealth?!?

I have that car that I drive summers. I just bought a '89 GMC S15 Jimmy 4x4 with a 4.3L that I will drive this winter. I also have a '86 Firebird that is getting restored in the garage.

Black primer Camaro body panels resemble any flat black angular shaped fighter and bomber planes you might have heard about?

i think the wheels look bad. by bad i mean awesome. keep them when you get your new paint and get them chromed, drop it, and put low pro tired on it.

sweet car man!

Paint is on hold for a while now The car has a horrible misfire/backfire when moving at all and it has a miss when it is idleing. I don't have a garage or the tools to do work on it in IA so it will probably sit the rest of the winter till I have time to fix it, sell it for parts, or drop a new engine in.

Stiers, it sounds like a timing problem my friend. If you already have a timing gun then it's basically a free / 15 minute thing to fix Personally, ever since I saw that primered black GTO in The Punisher I've fallen in love with primer black sports cars (just cause it makes them look almost primal)... dont think I'd ever drive one unless I had plans to give it real paint pretty soon though lol.

EDIT: haha just realized I found this through a search, sorry if it's way old lol.

well i still love those wheels on thirdgens. im gonna pick up a set sometime soon for my spare/scca racing wheels since they are so cheap and look awesome. plus my new 18's should have the 4th gen fit as well so the 2" spacers will work for both sets!!!! :lala: o and the lt1 tips look killer on our cars....got a set waiting to be fully polished

That car ended up having 2 bad spark plug wires which is why it ran like ****. I have since sold the spacers and wheels. The car got painted silver metalic and had the stock 15" wheels when I sold it.

Yep, sold the Camaro and the Jimmy and bought the GTA and a Chevy C1500 work truck. I go through a car every couple months. I am looking at a 91 Firebird right now.
