If stuck on stock, 16" all the way. My favorites are the GTA cross lace wheels.

same here.. if you want to spend more money go for 17 else go for 16" crosslaces..black or gold depends on car color which I dont think you mentioned.

Re: Suggestions on rim for 1990 firebird.

Be sure to do a through search for tires for the 16 in wheels. Depending on how wide you want the tire the selection is getting thin.

17in. wheels are a different story.

Another vote for GTA cross lace rims. The HRE classic series looks cools also but pricey.
