I really like the 2nd ones. Just like a nice thirdgen, they have nice sharp lines and stand out! I saw a pic of a red formula on here with them and it looks sweet. Don't know whose it is, but here's the pic:

I vote for ROH just becasue you don't have to use spacers. But if the hawks didn't I would probably go for them.

not with snypers, and if i did not witha good enough comparison shot. I WAS an amature wheels photoshopper but now i'm pretty good at getting any angle rim to find on any car.

I agree, you've done a nice job. Each pic looks pretty real.
My vote would be to stay stock since you've stayed that way all this time. So I checked out your "Reader's Rides," and I see your engine still looks pretty stock too. But then I saw your interior and remembered the headliner topic you mentioned, and oh well, so much for stock, lol. 
The wheels in the second pic look nice--clean, simple and sharp.
BTW, what're you gonna do with your stock wheels?
I'm always on the lookout for an extra set, lol.

I like them both, the ROH's are a little better. Isn't SLP making a ZR1 rim that's a direct fit on the 3rd gens?

Yea they have it out now. The only problem is that it is only 8" wide.

i should probably just search online for it, but i'll ask here first. how much can you get those Snypers for? If i were to change from my GTA crosslace rims (not likely any time soon), I'd go with a 17" rim. What widths are available for a 17" Snyper?

The Firehawk is the best F-body ever produced! My goal in life is to own a Firehawk and a 1990 1LE 305 G92 5 speed IROC-Z.

I do believe the Mecham cars are the fastest of the tuner cars, though not produced in the numbers the Firehawk and Hurst were.

good job... Nice work on the photoshop...
Anyway, don't be like me, I almost made the mistake of getting 18" Eagle 077 wheels (they fall apart and are cheap quality). I am glad I never got them...
IMO ROH makes the top of the line wheels for ANY car. Choose from one of there 4 wheels that fit 3rd gens and your car will look great, you cannot go wrong with ROH...
