What Wheels??

I'm looking to get a set of rims by the end of winter. I want something thats crome, or at least polished aluminum. Anyone have any pics of different wheels on firebirds? I don't really want to go with the torque thrusts, not that I don't like them, I just see a lot of them around here and I want to do something different.

Your best bet is to search the internet and find the wheels you like the best. Find out who all the manufacturers are and look through their wheel galleries. When you find a style you like, call them and see if they can make them for your car.

I'll start with a few manufacturers: Budnik, ROH, Boyd Coddington, Cragar, Eagle, Performance Wheel Outlet.

There are alot more out there.

Me 3. They are really my favorite style of wheels. If only they made exact replicas that were 17 X 9. It's a very classy wheel. Simply elegant.

Dude, you HAVE to check these rims out, 18" irocs. I think I'm going to get them for my car. I don't think there is a better looking set of rims for our cars than these. Here's the link I hope it works.
