I have Firebird and I'm looking for new rims. Now I do like the snowflake gold rims on GTA's however is it unheard of to put those rims on a "plain" Firebird?
Give me an honest opinion. I don't want to run into a diehard
F-body fan and get the third degree!


My Cars as is.



Rims I'd like

 

I think those rims would look great on that white firebird, I say go for it.

 

I liked them but Im going back to the originals.

 

its very common to find those on a firebird. i just put them on mine acutally. im takin some pics tomorrow hopefully and ill post some, or a link to them

 

very common.. did it with my car! just remember that the wheels have different front/rear offsets..

 

screw it man who cares i got a 91 firebird 305 with gta rims n they look good

 

some of the f-body "purists" I've met barely know what a GTA is. Besides that, the wheels were available on plain TransAms in 91-92 and so aren't really exclusive to the GTA anyway.

 

Always thankful to have valued opinions.
Now just to find a set.

But it will have to wait till after the hurricane. I live in the lower keys......

there ya go

 

Gold crosslace on my GTA. I've always thought the gold rims on the white third gens looked hot. I say go for it! But like 90firebird said, remember to get the correct offset. It will be marked "front only" or "rear only" on the inside of the rim. The fronts have the deeper lip than the rears do.

 

IIRC some base Firebirds came with very similar looking 15" crosslace wheels, so no, it's not sacrilege...

Heck I'm running Camaro wheels on my Firebird, I think I'm the one who should be shot

 

also cant he run a set of fronts all around if he wants to rotate them , i dont know how the hell you get just fronts but thats an option if you can to just get front and then you can rotate them if you please.

 

I've got a 90 firebird w/ a 88 trans am body kit, and a powerbulge hood. I'm painting the "Plain Jane" stock rims black to match my car. Do whatever looks good to you. In the end it's your car.

 

Well, seeing as you already have T/A gfx, I wouldnt be too worried about what a "purist" has to say, as your probably gonna get crap from them anyway If you like, go for it, who cares what anyone esle thinks. Its your car, right, so you might as well be happy with it.

 

I put on a set of the Trans Am black Diamond Spoke 16 inch wheels onto my girlfriend's 1991 Firebird with the Sport Appearance package.
Granted now, the car sports a '92 rear formula hatch with the wraparound rear spoiler, 15th Anniversary Trans Am Recaro seats, and a '87 Formula powerbulge hood.
Here's a shot before the above was installed.

No one has ever said anything bad, in fact, everyone likes it.
Granted, if you do a car show, it is no longer stock, but everything can be changed back, just keep the other parts.

Im debating on weither to get slp zr1 hyper black wheels or the 16x8 crosslace gta wheels. Which do u think will look better on my dark green metallic firebird, check out my car domain page to see what they'd look like.

 

91greenbird believe it or not but i have a dark green matalic 1991 firebird with slp's hyper black zr-1s. its a real nice look, let me know what your going to do, i may shed a tear if im no longer the only guy running this set up... i will try and post some pics in the next several days.

 

Got any pics of your car? If i do get the slp zr1's you'll still be unique caz i got the 3.1 and you got the 305 lol.

 

 

here is the only picture i have thats not huge, if ya want some more maybe i can email them to ya

 

I wanna put 16" IROC rims on my car... I really dont like my stock 15" rims.. Too hard to clean!!

 

Those are the same rims I just replaced with GTA's. I love them GTA wheels! Lightest OEM wheels GM made!
