4th gen SS 10-spoke wheels

Anyone here got 'em or a pic of a 3rd gen (hopefully Pontiac) with them on? I'm considering picking up a set for the '91.

I also will probably get those wheels for my bird. Who cares if they're Camaro wheels, they are sweet looking! I havent yet seen them on a firebird, but there are a few people on here who have them on camaros.

That wheel would look so cool if it were available with a deep dish.

Not a Pontiac, but....

10-spokes on a 91 Camaro.
1.5" wheel spacers were needed.

Thanks Bnoon- It started with the Baer Track and Touring upgrade. I was committed then- Don't know if I'd have followed through with it if I'd known the cost of the whole operation. Had to put the Visa card in the freezer to let it cool down after that one. Yeeouch!

Best-

These pics with the red firebird are pretty good - but the car sits a *little* too high IMO. Looks pretty nice though.

Considering the price difference between these and a set of the 3rd gen firehawk wheels - I think I've made my decision!

Well the i probably wont put one in there.. unless it is something major...L98, LT1, or LS1.... but I don't have the money for something like that so in all honesty there will never be a v8 in the red car. Id like to get a set of 10 spoke SS rims too just like the ones I photoshoped on my car.

The 81 T/A was sold to fund a nice diamond engagement ring for my girlfriend. We were just married last July 6th. I sold the car too because it was not very practical for daily driving. After driving a thirdgen for so long, the 2nd gen seems like a dinosaur.

I am getting a 305 V8 for free from a friend. I have to pull it yet. That will probably be rebuilt and dropped into my S/E.

Later,
bill

Can somebody photoshop these wheels on a black Camaro, 91-92 perferably? Chrome even?

I like these wheels in some ways but in some ways I dont. It needs a little bit more of a dished look IMO, but they still look really good!
