who here likes or has seem centerline piranhas on 3rd gens, they only come in 7 inch widths for the tires, is this to little for handling? , i dont want to get some 17's with skinny tires! .. heres a pic of them if you have seen them,

 

I don't like them, and 7" seems way to narrow, kinda defeats the purpose of putting 17's on to handle better.

 

that rim would look a lot nicer if it had a bit of a dish, and 7" is not wide enough just forget about it.

 

here is my second choice, dagger.. these do come in sizes bigger then 7 inch,

 

also ran into these , any suggestions

 

Here's a pic from centerline's website of the daggers. I kinda like them

 

Daggers look way better.

 

I have the centerline matrix 5 spoke wheels on my car and I like them. The daggers are in the same line and I think they would look pretty nice. I would definitely not go with a 7" wide wheel so avoid the first ones.

 

yeh daggers are it ,

 

that looks sweet

 

i think the 1st posted picture is a front wheel drive wheel.

i like the matrix the best of all the pictures, but nothing will be the weld prostar XP

 

Hey I think I read in another thread that the matrix line is discontinued. Is that true? I hope not cause I kinda like the matrix wheel.

 

I heard that also, but I am not sure. I ordered mine about a year and a half ago when they still had a picture on the website, but now they don't. I guess I'll be the only one with them , I just wish I got the 18" ones now.

 

Hey if they still make them then you could buy the 18s & sell me your 17s lol!

 

I called summit about a month ago when looking for new wheels they told me they were discontinued. They still have some 18x9.5's in stock not sure how many though.

 

Ok, I'm not trying to hijack this thread but I just thought this info might be useful I have just confirmed with Centerline that the Matrix rims have been discontinued So those wheels are not an option for you. They do have some left over but not in our bolt pattern. Too bad, cause I really like them. Looks like Nazzz28 got lucky cause I think they discontinued them a little after he got his. Anyways, hope this helps

 

heres a link before and after shots of my trans am with my rims stock height and then lowered with the prokit. The rims are centerlines saharas. https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=177027
17x8 in the fronts
17x9.5 in the rears

 

if you have the $ I say go with the daggers, they look sweet!

 

Yeah FirebirdNYC, go for it!! Get the daggers

 

Ok this is going a little off topic but I just found these styles from bonspeed wheels. This one is kinda cool & looks a little like the Centerline Daggers. It's called Ramone

 

And this one looks a little like an FM5 wheel. It's called Intense 5

 

wow that does look like a dagger

ps. phat89ta, the combo of the lowering and those rims make the car look hot , im scared of lowering my car , i live in new york CITY

 

thanks firebird. I understand the pain when it comes to lowered cars and big cities.I always take my car to san francisco and their roads sux. I always have a feeling that im going to pop my tires or crack my rims. Sometimes, I feel like buying an suv. i have new pix that i just took today. I'll try to upload them asap.

 

yeh its hard lowering cars out here, and driving an fbody out here will do nothing but mess it up ! , iv gotten yelled at by old people that owned second gen birds , calling me crazy , unibodies arent for offroad like city blocks...they can take a whole week fixing up an avenue and all they do is make it worst
