Best 15" Rims on White 92 Firebird!

What do you guys think? I'm considering a black inner with a chrome outer circle, but don't know where to start looking.

I'd go with at least 16's. A nice set of polished formula wheels or crosslace wheels would make the car look great!

The 15s you have now are probably the best looking stock 15" rim.

You can get 17s for around $600 shipped to your door from ebay, thats the ZR1 rims. Offered in chrome, silver paint, or black paint with polished lip.

You're not going to notice much difference upgrading to 16", especially if you get the 16" formula ws6 rims or the GTA crosslace rims, those rims just add an extra lip to the outer edge of the rim. One good thing is at least you'll be able to get z-rated tires
