Yea...... you'll have to show us your car.

I think im leaning towards the firehawks i love the deep dish look. All 3 of them look so good and they all come 17*9.5.

Those Firehawk rims are totally bad@$$!!!! They look very very sharp on both Camaros and 'birds IMO

They're all cool, but Snypers is what I voted for, since that's what I plan on getting.

I have roh snypers in 16*8s but i havent put them on my new car since the old 89 rs got totaled. I like them but i think u see too much of my ugly rear drum brakes.

Heres a picture of my car now https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/att...&postid=823196

These are the ones I want for my IROC. I really like the TT2's, but a lot of ppl have them. Try to get something different. I kinda want my car to stand out a little.

Those wheels are on sell for REALLY cheap right now. Better grab them while you can, they aren't made anymore.

82-92 Firebirds: Firehawk
82-92 Camaros: TT2s
93-02 Firebirds: Snypers

I voted for the Firehawks because the are the perfect size and have a classic design that looks so good. TT2's would be my second choice. Actually, I think it is a tie for Firehawks' and TT2's.

Car: Camaro of course
On a slick low proflie car (especialy black or red) snypers look cool. Althought my all time fav is my old discountinues three part bead lock Enkeis; light, strong and attractive black centre polished steel rim, and trimed 4th gen Camaro nuts on the centre. Love it
