there doesnt seem to be as much backspacing though, it seems to stick out.

i hope they do. i think it looks better sticking out a bit.

well the lady never got back to me so time to consider getting these from ebay i think she realized just how stupid the truck would've looked with firebird rims on it lol.

I like the look of those rims, I think they look the best on camaros though. I like the look of the Xtreme rim that deadbird posted earlier. I've seen a silver 91-2 Z28 with them on and it looked hot.

I guess the five star rim looks better on the camaro. I don't like the looks of the camaro 5 star rims on any firebird. just my .02

cant beat free rims! Especially if they look nice.

IMHO, I think they look better on the camaros than the birds. (I'm a GTA guy myself)

well ive always liked 5 spoke wheels and the design on these is pretty unique i think. i will put on chevy centercaps if i cant find any pontiac. right now im just thinking of leaving 'em bare with maybe black lug covers but i know that wont look right. chevy, pontiac, GM, we're all the same family. should be getting 'em early next week.

a light bulb just went off in my head all you need to do is just get 4 Pontiac arrowheads like this one to put over the bowtie

just noticed something searching ebay for centercaps. these wheels are sold as "factory replacements" and "actual GM wheels". does this mean they are different quality? what exactly is the difference?

well i ordered the centercaps for these rims yesterday so once i get those i'll take some pics.

i'd really like to know about the "factory replacement" deal. i ended up paying a lil more by buying the rims (not from a GM source) and caps separate when i could've gone to gmpartsdirect and gotten everything in one shot.
