i love custom billet wheels......however if your going used the best deals are on those using adapters. size is the most imporant factor as the price increase from 17-18 and beyond is huge.

you should care, prices of rims aren't that different in width and when you stretch or in your case squeeze a tire you really change how it works.
if you want to run 275's you should look to 9.5" rims.

the majority of rims anyone talks about here have probably been discussed before.

17 x 8.5 wheels with 245/45/zr17 tires is the about the best choice fora upgrade without affecting anything. The wheel design is up to you. Check out various wheel companies for what available for a 3rd gen with using spacers if possible.
That wheels looks like what its on a 4th gen stock wheel 98/02.

i've started my own practice. My neighbor paid me $30 to install a new lazer printer. That took me a whole 10 minutes. I think i can do this profesionally.
But my $30 already turned into what, ummmm $5. I needed suplies for my latest project.
jobs are slowly opening up though. Soon enough i'll have a job. The local mall is getting ready to start hiring for the summer. And the retail stores already started. I screwed up 2 interviews, lord knwos how. I think i gotta start wearingmy cackies when i goto interviews from now on, i'll look more professional.

I guess it's a cross between a Firehawk and a WS6 wheel.

J/K You just sounds like a d-i-@-k they way you typed that, lol.
Somone said it already, search, I know everyone always says that, but in this case it is true, I just bought new wheels for my car (17" ROH snypers) and did a search to find pics of wheels to get ideas, and I found like 400 pages with wheel info on them, with some threads having over 300 posts of members pics with every wheel you could think of, try it out, you will find a great many ideas. (PS I like most ROH wheels, 4th gen SS/Y2K and firehawk wheels, TT2's are all top 5 wheels IMO).
Trans Am #5......... Dude, that is a smoking ride, I love that baby, great looking car, smooth, perfect, love the color, the wheels, just looks great, one of the top 5 3rd gen Pontiac's I have seen on this site.

Boring... Well, you know that is not true. White is a good color, when you get the right wheels and all, like you did, the car will stand out no matter what. I like it, got any pics from the front?
I have my wheels on the car now, I will/NEED to post pics soon, my car is looking sooooooooooooo dam good!
I LOVE ROH SNYPERS

shaun, nice wheels, just like mine!!!!
Trans Am #5, again great looking car man, love it a lot! (old man from the 80's)
he he
I grew up in the early 90's, so I am close to being an old 80's man, I guess that is why I love the 90-92 camaros so much?
