They remind me of BC tuned series and HRE's. I think those would look awesome on a camaro but I'd have my doubts for those on a firebird.

i would have to go with the exact opposite of your opinion. i think they would look better on a bird. for instance look at the ws6 rims. they lokk sooo much better on a bird. but truthfully i think they would look good on either and i might actually be buying a rim very similar, so if i do i wil post a pic

I like those. CarNDriver has similar wheels on his car, and the thirdgen that Hot Rod built had BBS wheels that were very similiar. I thought both looked great. I'm not quite as sure about on a firebird though.
