That's pretty cool! Do you plan on keeping the ABS centercap?

The Firestone firehawks in that particular size have a damn good rating, but they're a little expensive. Check them out at the TireRack. www.tirerack.com Great choice on rims; glad you stuck with the 4th gen theme.

If you want a good tire at a GREAT price...I have 2 different ones to choose from. The size is 245/45/ZR16. I have the Goodyear GSC's for $279.00 a set and I also have some Goodyear F1's for $395.00 a set. They are about 1" shorter than the 245/50's, but at this price...I assure you, they are worth it. Email CarNDrvr@aol.com if interested.

Those will look great man!

Id have to recommend the Kumho Estaca Supras... Im running stock 245/50s and I am really happy with them. 86 bucks each from Tirerack.com. They hook up really well, do great in the rain (and in Oregon, I need that) and they look really slick also.

EDIT - And NO, I didnt have the Kumhos on in the sig pic!

Nice wheels! What size are they? Are those from a 4th gen T/A? I have an 86 T/A and I am wondering if they would fit with little or no problem....

they are 16x8, they are from a 4th gen firebird, the T/A's are just a lil bigger 17x9 I think. My car that they are on is an 86 T/A you will need a set of 1.25" adapters for the rear and 2.25" adapters for the front to change the offset so they fit.

they are easy, just bolt rite on, but they are a lil expensive, all 4 of mine was $304.00 you can get them from vette brakes's web site/catalog or from Skulte Performance.
