234686 threads on what wheels look good.
17 threads on look what wheels i got (which look good)



just search, and IMO, it isn't 100% necessary to see the wheels on your specific car (down to the color) to know what'll look good...

Re: What are some nice wheels for a white 88 firebird?

they are very nice. but I see them all the time. they look gorgeous on your car. I just thought the tt d's would look cool. but I might change my mind in the next month or 2 about the rims. by the way, what is your email? I will probably have some questions to ask because i just bought my bird in september and will need some tips and help on putting new parts on.

Re: What are some nice wheels for a white 88 firebird?

I am thinking of getting Centerline Daggers for my GTA, I like how they look on ta's. brodyscamaro, I have looked thru countless threads about rims on our cars and there seams to be 1 firebird for every 20 camaros. There should be 1 tread for best looking wheels on camaros and 1 for firebirds. IMO.

Re: What are some nice wheels for a white 88 firebird?

I don't have a firebird, not even a white one, but on the firebirds up to 1990 I realy like how the Corvette turbine wheels look.
