Which weels?

Which wheels should I keep on the T/A?

Haha, what kind of a question is that!? Do you guys like the stock firebird or the Z28's?

I have a formula and I like the originals on my car, however, on your car I really like the z's. I think it makes more of a bold statement!

Nice Car!

Thanks for the comments guys. The reason why I only put the rears on is because one of the fronts doesn't have rubber. That will be fixed shortly though! But after taking the picture, and looking at the two different wheels, man those Z28's look really sweet! I'd say about three times better than those stockers. I think I might even leave the inserts painted white, it makes the wheels look alot brighter ya know. Thanks again guys, anybody else have any comments?

You guys seriously think I should keep those firebird wheels? I totally think the Z's look way better, even without the center caps. I know they were camaro rims, but rims are rims, and if they look that good, I think i'll keep 'em.

So, anyone wanna buy the firebird rims? One is flat, other 3 are all good. Lemme know.
