PS: You just cant do the big-rim/small-tire combo with small rotors, that looks awful as well, if you do the big rim/small tire combo its gotta have a lowered stance and some mean-*** rotors to set the background! ^_^

Yea i agree people just throw rims on any car and expect it to look badass with out the other required items to complete the look personally i didnt like the wheels the fronts where to small 18x8 i like the look of 9 or 9.5 to fill the front wheel well better right now im looking for 18x10 and 18x9.5 or 9 in front or 17x9 or 9.5 all around but thats harder to find unless you get corvette wheel set up but to me i dont like and its been done over and over again. whatever wheel i get its going to be gunmetal tho always like the white car with gunmetal wheels or piano black but im going with gunmetal for sure im not a fan of the thinner tires also thats why i like 17s better but theres not alot of good looking ones and 18s is the biggest ill go with the 18s tire choice is really the key to making it look right imo

yea i agree with the brakes they need to be upgraded with bigger rotors and calipers but as of right now money is going into engine upgrades then ill move on to brakes and suspension im not to happy how it sits going to go get weight jacks !!!! not sure what direction to go with the brakes yet maybe ls1 or something idk havent put much thought in it yet with my engine project going

Not enough GOOD looking black wheels

That and I haven't seen anyone else with black SS wheels, so I decided to try it. The spoke design I knew would look good. Just wait till you see the tires for them... gonna look NICE!

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Here's a shot with the VNT70R's mounted with Nitto 555's. Better photos to come.



Just about a perfect looking fit under the fenders.



This is a side by side with the new vs the old 15 x 7 stock rims with Eagle GT's.

17 x 8 American Racing VNT70R's with Nitto 555's. The metal gray enhances the silver ground effects perfectly and the polished lips are just enough bling to make the wheels stand out.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

You're right. I bought some chrome IROC copies, with 0 offset. They look great, and I can rotate them. Sure wish I could get them in 17x10 though.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

I'm running the same exact wheel in 16". How wide are those 17's? I need some 17x10's - two of them for the rears. I need to put some more rubber on the ground.

ZZ3 Z28,
Those rims look perfect on your car, great choice. Looks like they belong on there with how the color matches the ground effects.

Thank you gentleman. It's an honor to be recognized by my peers. As you may well know it's a lot of work owning one of these, keeping it running and looking good. I appreciate the comments.

I think they look great! good choice!
Question, would they powdercoat just the inside part of an original GTA rim leaving the silver lip intact?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

this is going to sound weird but i am going with 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear breyton gts's powdercoated fluorescent orange on a lowered 92 z28 vert that is going to be dark gunmetal grey. believe me it sounds weird but it looks awesome. I will try to get pics up when i get the car ready to show. Its beautiful and has that roadrace look. It has tow hooks front and rear and has the hawks 5" rear spoiler (never seen it done on a vert so I had to do it) which took some work to make it fit right. I like my car to be different yet look good. I was going to go with 22 inch irocs but its been done a million times. these are the wheels on a bmw

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

I just got these New American Racing VN472 Burnout Rims on my 89 and I think they compliment my car perfectly car show quality but it keeps that race look. What do you all think?

17x8 in the front
17x10 in the rear

Bough my ROH Snypers in 2004, still get a ton of great feedback. Took me 3 years to decide on them.

17X8 front with Nitto Invo, 17X9 Rear with Nitto Nt05
