290 VORTEC Z rims
What do u guys think of this rim
www.wheelcontact.com carries it in 17x8.5
it is a direct fit with no backspacing needed and i dont think u can go wrong for $156 each....let me know your thoughts!:hail:

I ordered a set of those once but cancelled the next day. I ordered through Performance Wheel Outlet in 18x9.5 front and rear. The reason I cancelled is the guy called me back the next day and said he made a mistake and they dont make the 18x9.5 for the front in our offset. And I didnt like the idea of 17's in the front and 18's in the rear, so I cancelled. I like the look though. I say if you like it then go for it!!

There's a black firebird around here with them. I really don't like how they look.

I thought about these awhile back, they look alot like the newer C5 rims. But alas the brake thing hit me too, and I figured my rear drums would look pretty damned stupid shinning through, lol... Maybe it wouldn't be as bad/noticeable as I'm thinking?
Are they a mustang rim design originally, I thought they were from some GM truck?

Don't put mustang wheels on a thirdgen. Those rims don't look good on mustangs and they wont look good on your car either. Save your money, you'll thank me later.
