1 YEA,
2 yeanah,, not really. looks too much like TT II's and everyone and their mother has them. just played out. so i would go with 16" of 1. 16x8 front and 16x9 in back, front of B.S. of 4.5" and back of 5". their ya go, i would usually say 17" rims but you dont have ground fx so, 16" and those rims look weird in 17".

Ohh, your reply made me remeber.
i will also be dropping the car, eibach prokit,
and the dude said that it might be like 800 with wheels,
seen the wheels theyre something *********** zrx i think.

 

as oppposed to what?the stock wheels wich came on thousands of firebirds?their really aren't that many thirdgens out there with TT's........

92RS,POLO GREEN

 

yea to both.
I like them both, although #1 is much more original and I would go with those personally.

Remember, getting 16X9s on the back, severly limits you burnout ability . They look great, and the traction gains are great also. I like 16X8s with the same offset all around so you can rotate your tires and not have it cost you extra. My $.02

 

its sad when people thin Cragers look like TT 2s. it should be that TT2s look like cragers

ok guys, i wasnt saying that a lot of firebirds have TT II's i was saying that a lot of custom cars and show cars have them, just look through HOT ROD, super chevy, etc. and you will see them.

and i dont compare them to cragars because i wasnt driving when cragars were really popular, let alone i wasnt even alive.

and look up MIKE HARVEY, he has those wheels in a similar if not same pattern.

If it were my money... i would definetly go with #2 (Torq-Thrust Style). I never really like the fancy schmancy style wheels like #1 from Centerline, Weld, and the like. As for the every one has them (Torq-Thrust II) comment, I live in southern Cali and I rarely see those wheels on a third gen. It's problaby the location but who knows. I just bought a set of 16" IROC wheels ...now everyone HAS THOSE!! But they just look so good.

Personally I like the stock rims,but if your set on replacing them I would go with the second ones.imo

 

I like the 1st set because they will look sweet on your ride,if someone can show you how they would look then i think you would choose the first ones,the TTs wont look as great,i would also go with 17s,i have 16s and am dying for 17s,but thats my taste and i like to think my taste isn't too bad at all,but its your ride,go with your taste,it truly only matters what you like,FTW!!!

 

My freind has the #1's on his 91 Firebird.It's dropped an inch with 17's and it looks bad@ss.I really think you should go for those,but that's just my opinion. Later

 

hey adam, you woulndt by chance have a pic!!! ????
thatd be seriously kik ****. cause i have no idea how itd look

And WHAT SIZe you guys?

THANXXX

 

I'm going to have to go with nay on this one..Get some TT 2's

I agree that at car shows and stuff alot customs have TT II's but I have yet to see a thirdgen with them on the street...
But this isn't really about TT II's, I like the second ones better, but think the rirst ones would look good as well.

If I were getting rims I'd get 17's

I think you should put some Niche Shocks on the biotch...hell ya, 20X8 that would look hella cool.

 

Torque thrusts are extremely common in the classic car world. Personally, those Centerlines are too busy for my taste but your likes are the only thing that matters. Also keep in mind that polished aluminum is maintenance intense.

Whatever you do I'm sure you'll make the best choice.

 

Personally i dont care too much for either, but as for size, on my cars i dont run anything less than a 17"

I like the second ones. Do they cost less than TT2's? If they do, I might get my own. But I would say do what you think looks good cause its your car. As for size, I'd go with 17".

If it were my car it would have black lace GTA wheels. I love a black Firebird with GTA wheels.

 

If it were GTA cross lace on a black car, I like the gold not the black. I'm putting black ones on my car eventually.

 

I've never really liked busy wheels, I've been a fan of nice 5-spokes. But I started wondering what #1 would look like, so this is what I came up with:

And I changed my mind. I think they look pretty good on your car. Those are probably about 16's.
