Think these wheels will look good?

I have made up my mind and am going to get these wheels and run 275-40-17 rear & 245-45-17 front on my trans am. I think it will have a nice stance and look alot better than the wheels that are on it now.

Re: Think these wheels will look good?

i like the lip with the brand-name on it.

Re: Think these wheels will look good?

I really like those wheels and if I had a project car (sport coupe), it would be rocking those wheels! I would tell them to leave the stickers off the rim portion of the wheel, and maybe even pay them to polish the lip. I think that you should run the 17x9.5 on all 4 corners and 275's all around, for best performance. When I ran that combo it did really well, only thing that I noticed was it following the tire ruts in the road.

Good luck!

Re: Think these wheels will look good?

not to hate, but...anything would look better than your current wheels, including those dope snowflakes from yearone. But then again wheel designs change with the fads, you must have got those wheels some time ago, they were pretty popular on mud trucks. but i have to say your car looks good. I'm rocking the stock 16" on my 92 rs artic white.

Re: Think these wheels will look good?

Those used to be really popular for 3rdgens a couple years ago. I think they look good on them.

Re: Think these wheels will look good?

look pretty good! i think they would look better on a bird, which you have. i think it's just the curves on the spokes that says firebird to me.

love the dish as well! put some 315's on the back and call it a day.

Re: Think these wheels will look good?

Dude I want to point out that I think a lot of people think the pictures you attached are of your new wheels.

Those ROH's you listed are on Crazy Hawaiian's car I think.



They're not black, though, but I'm pretty sure they're the same wheels.

More tire than rim He is wanting 245/45r17's and 275/40r17s! That is a low profile tire and anyway you look at it there will be a ton more wheel than tire! I think that he is doing exactly what you claim to like!
