Some people wanted me to post pics when I got them so here they are, unfortunately I won't have of them on the car until around the end of this month.

Those Firehawk rims are a good value for the size and look great. I thought about getting them, but I think they are too wide for my V6. Even the 15 X 7s rubbed a little. Now put the rims on your car, then post them so we can see how excellent they look.

That wasn't me. Only thing I can think of is the guy that put them on his TTA. And didn't the TTA have the crosslace rims? Which I think look better. But I don't think I said I didn't like them at all.

We've almost completed the car we're finished with the front suspension and the engine is and the rearend is although we are having trouble getting the torque bar to clear, hopefully by the end of this week it'll be ready.

That's ok by me, it kinda suck if everyone liked the same thing. I just thought it was mark that said it so it surprised me when he said they looked good.

I usually don't like the rims that much... but on a black 91 Z, I think they could look good. I can't wait to see the pics.
