I don't know if its the pictures or what, but I think they look cheesy. The look like they are plastic hubcaps in my opinion. I like the style, but I just think they would look better chromed maybe.

I think it looks good.. Doesn't have that boy-racer look you were talking about at all.

And your centercaps aren't plastic are they? My ROH wheels have some beefy aluminum centercaps. Anyway, looks great with all that rubber underneath, doesn't it?

Looks great man. A lot better than I thought it would from your original post. I like the satin, chrome might have been a little too much.

I think it looks sweet man! Those rims just have this sleek look, something I definately associate w/ the firebird name. I like TA's over a Formula but I must say that yours is looking sweet, now I dont know which I like better! And I agree w/ the silver over the chrome! Chrome would take too much of your attention from the rest of the car, it just wouldnt look right. Keep up the good work

That looks sweet! I wish I could see it in person at the ride height it's supposed to sit at, since I'm in the market for a set of rims too. Good call on the satin finish...not too flashy, but a tasteful improvement. What kind of cash did you have to part with to get those rims?

Sweet! I can't decide between those or the Eagle Alloy type 077 wheels. There is a dude on here named Purple 92 SS who has the Eagle wheels, they look sweet, too...
