all these big and shiney wheels, eh i dunno. a few of you guys got cars that look really good. but for some reason i just love how these cars look stock. (i know i know my car is an 89 and has 87 wheels on it but it still counts as stock)

those are the wheels to have if you ask me.
i want to paint my car black, and swap those on in place of my cragar wannabes (previous owners, i take no responsibility for that, lol)

even though you're not listening to me, this is for any other firebird owners.
1. its a corvette rim, it looks good on vettes and other chevys.
2. Nothing stands out like chrome(black ice comes close). I'm sure the black rims will match your white with gold badges as well as blue painted rims.
3. It isnt that hard to shrink an image of a rim in microsoft paint or cut and paste it from another car, dont need photoshop for everything
4. You get what you pay for, especially when its new
5. You should have started a new thread
Originally posted by Z28HO I might be able to help since that is my car and I had them made by Fikse back in 1999. They are a one off set of Fikse FM/5's custom made for my car. They measure 17x9.5 front and 17x10.5 rear. I currently have Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 275/40/17 fronts and 315/35/17 rears on the car and I swap out rear tires with Nitto Drag radials on occasion.
I thought all of Fikse's wheels were "one off" since they are all made to order...
I get mixed reviews on my wheels they are Prime wheels....im not a big fan of them myself (on the car when i bought it)
wanting some TT's....maybe someday!

I havent seen any late 02 WS6 rims. I photochopped someone's fbody pic on the board but forgot their name. If you recognize the pic please remind me . I changed the color, hood and rims. I think the edgeness of the rims match the edgeness of our thirdgens.
I hate to say it, but those are generally the wheels that people are trying to get away from. They are not bad wheels, they just seem to indicative of the 80's/miami vice/Ferrari f40 knock off wheel. Have seen many with those rims.. too many.
I did some looking at the ronal site and I really like these. Ronal RT deep lip. It says they only come in 17x7.5" though...what is the widest tire I could fit with that size? They seem a little on the skinny side but the style is badass.

Anyone with Boyds 'timeless 5's' on a camaro, I think these would look awesome, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet-
If money were no object - the baddest IMHO would be the Kenesis K58, or even K57 these are some of the hottest performance rims I have seen.
Thinking of new rims for my car- ( i have the classic ARE 5 stars(they were cool when I bought them in 91')) but want to update the look , but keep it classic but not trendy ( maybe standard CCW's? in 17" or 18")
Hey what do you think about these? I found them on ebay for $395 a set(front:17x9.5-rear:18x10) . Really good deal, but i think the fronts are to wide. I also like the ronal firehawks but right now there out of my budget...
17x9.5 is quite common and easy to fit on a thrdgen. you have to buy $300 worth of spacers to get those to fit right. i think i posted the motorsport version of those wheels on page 2 or something like that.
Hey i'm a new member and I love lots of the cars on this site...
I just wanted to post my two cents about rims.
I got these not too long ago on my 92 Z28

Although I think those rims are really awesome looking. I would leave them right on the shelf, and would not spend even $100 to put them on my car. The problem with so many of these rims is that's all you would see, the car gets lost behind the rims. For rims to look Good, they have to complement the car, not be the focus. If you have a flashy paintjob by Chip Foose and lots of other things going on, then go for the fancy rims, otherwise they look like crap.
bluezee28 i know i have a 92 rs wtrih blue and silver racing stripes with the chrome zr1s but mine are 17x11s in the back but i cna't get my damn pictures to work
