I found these sitting in there.











So, do you guys like them?

 

u found them sitting there? what a coincidence, i lost mine today... they must've rolled over to your garage

i'd appreciate it if you returned them...

 

Those are nice rims....

 

Did you order those from the GMHP magazine by any chance?

I see the SLP centercap and all, and I know in the last issue they were selling all these rims, including those in the back page...

 

My friend ordered them from SLP on monday, cost $1919.00 shipped with BFG G-Force T/A KDW 275/40/17's mounted and balanced.
That is his 82 Trans Am that they went on.
Those wheels costs more than the book value of his car.

Oh, and he gave me his 16x8 wheels and tires that he had.
has nearly new 245/50/16 Goodyear Eagle GSC's.

 

beautiful man, i want those rims so bad

 

:rockon: :rockon:

 

I love the clean look of the wheels. Looks great.

 

I'm still tossing and turning over whether to get a set for the IROC.

 

sorry guys but those wheels just dont do much for me

 

Those 16x8 rims he gave you weren't GTA style rims were they?

 

Those look great... I like the black ones better than the red ones.

 

Very nice lookin, those will look good on the car.

 

wow, i love the looks of his car, especially with the firehawk rims. when will you have your car painted?

 

Dont do it Jim .

 

My car won't be painted for awhile still, got no money.

The wheels he gave me are ARE I think, gotta look at the centercaps again.
Here is a pic of his car with his old wheels,

 

I probably won't. They don't look quite right on Camaros. I'm going to hold out for the ROH ZS.

But I was This close --> || <-- to buying a red formula JUST so I could put those wheels on it.

The kid was going to give me his formula and $4k cash for my GTA, but he couldn't come up with the cash.

 

that 82 T/A looks AWSOME!!!! I really like the looks of those firehawks on that style car. Love it.


Too bad I can't afford even one wheel....let alone the one tire that goes on it.

 

Nice rims. And lucky you, your buddy gave you his old rims. I like those kind of friends!!! LOL

 

Thanks for the kind words, been off the board for a while but the car is like the mafia, "just when I think I am out it pulls me back in!" Thanks to Zephyr for the use of his drive-way. The car has had two owners my dad and now myself. I first sat behind the wheel when I was ten.. I am thirty now..phew Here are a few more pics hopefully they post I am a bit new to that.

 

One more..

 

Good look!! Nice car, doing very well w/ it i see! :hail:

 

dude you have a beautiful car....

 

$1900 w/ tires, good price! Wish mine were that cheap! My wheels come in next week Friday. They ran me $1600 w/o tires (shipping kills me out here). Total with tires will be $2400. 18" Boyd Coddington 'Tuned' wheels, 18x8 fronts w/ 245/40/zr18's, and 18x9.5 rear w/ 275/40/zr18's also BFG G-Force T/A KDW's. Woohoo!!!

 

The "tuned" wheels are really nice too.. that was one of the styles I was also looking at.. I have never seen a car with them outside of a magazine.. Be sure to post a pic when you have them on!

 

$1919 for some rims and tires?????

They are nice and look good, and hey if you got money to throw around they are worth it.........

 

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Nice car man. keep up the good work.

 

Looks Good.

 

plain and simple...

I WANT A GTA WITH THOSE RIMS!!!

 

Those are beautiful rims. did they olt on with no rubbing? if so, ill order mine tomarrow!

 

Nice rims man.. about freakin time too..

 

I don't think I have ever liked an 82 TA as much as that one. All black helps too.

 

To answer some questions, they fit right on with no drama. I thought I wouldn't even be able to turn my steering wheel, but the 275's rub in exactly the same places as my old 245's did, on the inside plastic fenderwell at the extremes they slightly touch.. I took it out and did a few U-turns and backing manuevers and nothing, must be some SLP/Ronal backspacing magic.. they also came with spacers for the front with extended lug nuts and a memo that states some models have a-arm rubbing and that the spacers will solve it (I didn't need to use them). Hope that helps, I still have to walk around the car a few times just to believe it is actually the same car, it truly changes the look. Now I am wishing I went with the zinc washed baer rotors.. when is payday again?

 

post more pics please!!!!!

 

Yeah, I kinda like 'em!!

:lala:

 

Nice *** wheels...now you have me thinkin.

 

Ha! just laying around huh? Well I have to check my storage closet now and see if I cant find something like that. .............................................

damn, nothing there.

 

Are those for the B4C? I don't see the B4C listed in your sig.. what happened?

 

nice azz wheels, now i want some new ones!!

 

I want a garage like yours.

AJ

 

those BFG's are really good tires. i have them on my GTA and i love them. handle excellent in the rain too. i love them..

 

Looks great Good choice on tires. Thats the exact wheel/tire combo I want.

 

Actually, he thought he was going to get the Radial T/A or Comp T/A tires. I wasn't watching when he ordered the wheels/tires (he ordered them from my house on one of my pc's) so I didn't know what tires were coming.

I've got the same tires on my OZ's, need to get 3 more to replace mine, but that will be much later.

 

Those wheels look killer Zeph, but I think you put them on the wrong car!

 

I know. I tried to put them on mine and give him my OZ's, but he wouldn't swap.

This is the Firehawk wheel sitting in front of my OZ,

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Those wheels don't do anything for me.. dunno why... They just look too plain.

 

I found someone who wanted to buy it who would appreciate its collectable value (i.e. he paid me alot hehe). Now I've found a L98 for my 90 RS and I've decided to go crazy on it, so I'm pulling the engine, gutting it, updating to 91-92 gfx and painting it black. Then I'm gonna put it back together with a 2001 T/A interior (dash, doorpanels, and console) and a nice set of seats. But I will still be on the lookout for a hardtop with no rust for project Evo II. My RS will stay stock-bodied.

 

Hey shawn, are the rims here?

It should be soon right.
Cant wait to see them...

 

I don't understand what the big deal is about those wheels. To me they look just like the cheap prime or ultra wheels sold at wal mart.
