Firehawk wheels on a 3rd gen T/A?
I've got a chance to buy (4) Firehawk wheels in silver for $300 from a local guy. Just not sure if I like 'em or not. What do you guys think? I did a few photochops to see what it would look like. Got a few in gunmetal and one in white. Lemme know what you think:

the white pops..regardless of which one you choose I could see a pinstripe as a good add-on.

Yeah, I thought about a possible red pinstripe around the edges...we'll see what happens. I gotta find out the offset of these wheels so I can figure out what size spacers I'd need. Anyone know this offhand?

NOOOOOOOOOO!
Keep the Monte wheels!!!!! ....I love your car with 'em. At the very least, they're period correct! The Firehawk's don't go with the car IMHO. Quite frankly I don't think the FH wheels go with anything, but regardless, I LOVE the Monte wheels!!!!

Naw, I still have the factory "Aero" turbo cast wheels and bowling ball hubcaps. Those will suffice if I want to do something different. For tires I'm looking at about $630 installed...gotta start saving up for those!

VERY nice!! You gonna paint em white like your 'shop? They looked great in that picture.
Oh and 2" spacers all around should do the trick... saw you asked that earlier in the thread.

Hey, how was Car Craft? I couldn't make it his year, I won't miss it for nothing next year. Anyway, the white rims are gonna look sick on your car. The Monte ones looked pretty good too but I'm sure the Firehawks are at least 17x9 which is a plus.
