I second that, only reason I want to swap rims I have now is because I don't feel my 16" gta's are big enough, although for now they are better than previous stock 15" rims.

I placed my order already. I was wondering if the new batch will still have the small inner diameter that I've heard about. I plan on doing a c5 brake upgrade if it will fit.
Thanks for the info.

Boy am I glad Gary isn't responding to the troll posting his side of the story. Gary was very polite on the PHONE, answered all my questions and I placed my order. I did email him once with a simple question first. That is how business is done. The internet makes this world alot smaller but the information from some people really has to be taken with a grain of salt. I am sure TGO members are looking past this kid
BTW after surfing the net I think the firehawk rims look just as good if not better on the camaros. The sharper edges of the camaro go very nicely with the bold firehawk R-15's.

Gary was very nice to me as well. He even told me about the 50 buck discount, that I wasn't aware of.

Read the other posts in the vendor reviews Mr. Business man, Gary has a lot to learn, and I'm no kid, was driving cars when you were still messing your pants.
Glad you got the rims, I'm sure they cost more than your ride, and thats cool too. Post some pics with your "bold firehawk R-15's"

Since it has come to insults. I guess I am not worrying about every last penny like you. I like the look of the rims so I bought them. I am pretty sure my 91Z28 is worth more than 1K, it only has 33K miles and has never seen rain or snow, and I live in MN. Only gets driven from mid may to about now. My backups aren't bad either, 9K 04 nissan maxima and 04 F150 supercrew - just turned 1500 miles. Oh and when meet putzs like you I break out my 79 mustang with a 408W. Better be faster than a 6.77 in the 1/8 to keep up, pulling the front wheels and covering the 60' in mid 1.4's. I have a suggestion for your rim choice, the crager black D window wheels ought to fit your value priced budget. Check em out at summit.

First of all, there are advertisers who pay for ads, and thats how it should be done.
Second- this post got a little off track I'd say.
Since they are so popular, why not just leave them in production? Whats the point of discontinuing them and then bringing them back again and again?
Any questions or comments, PM me.
