torn on wheels

alright guys, and girls maybe???

i need advice from the pros on choosing a type of wheel, and keep reasonable price in consideration. less than a grand preferably. at first i was dead set on getting a set of 02 ws6 wheels with the wheel adapters. but i am also thinking about the slp thirdgen firehawk style wheels. which would you choose??? and why??? i am leaning more toward the latter choice.

Without a doubt, Firehawk wheels! IMO these are best aftermarket wheels I have ever seen for a 3gen. I plan to get some myself if I ever get the money.

One word on the wheels you are thinking about...SPACERS....and they = additional money est $300+. 4th Gen wheels do not work 3rd Gen cars.

I personally think the Firehawk wheels look GREAT on a camaro, and they look ok on a Firebird. BUT I think the bestlooking aftermarket wheel are those made by ROH, the ZS's on Firebirds...

Rumor has it ROH is designing a replacement wheel for the ZS, it is similar in design but the spokes are slightly thinner in appearance. I am waiting to see what they look like before I buy either the ZS or the new design.
