Second gen snowflake wheels on a Third Gen

Has anyone here put second generation Trans am snowflakes on their Third gen? I was wondering how it would look.

Re: Second gen snowflake wheels on a Third Gen

If you like 15" wheels it would look great, as long as you're talking about a firebird

Re: Second gen snowflake wheels on a Third Gen

I was hoping someone here had some photos of a Firebird or Trans am with some vintage snowflakes.

Yeah.....I suppose if you want to do everything for everybody instead of showing them that they can find it themselves faster than having to be hand fed or rely others to get the info they need? I suppose your right. Oh well.

The question is though.....Why didn't you do that the first time instead of making making the remarks you did? Those weren't exactly helpful. I guess your other 2 posts in here were also incredibly non-helpful, according to your comment.

Re: Second gen snowflake wheels on a Third Gen

Stephen, I gave my opinion on if it whould look good. He didn't ask specifically for pictures until AFTER I posted.

Don't be such a crank man, that's what got you banned from here the first time

Sorry that I pointed out the facts & at least my first post indicated that what he wanted to see existed. And you are SO far off the mark about the Banning that it isn't even funny. I'm done with this thread. I gave him HELPFUL info in my veryu first post & am Unsubscribing instead of playing your game. so retort back if you want. It'll go unread & be a waste of your time & only serve to show childish behavior, like in your first post towards me.

UNSUBSCRIBING!

I appreciate the link "58Mark",I certainly didn't intend for this thread to cause an argument,nor was I expecting anyone to "hand feed" me,I was simply inviting members who had the same idea to share photos of their third gens with snowflakes.

I always try to remember that some members here are new and may not know how to navigate the site and try to help if I can.
There are many subjects here that have been covered but still get rehashed,I just posted a link to a thread on heater core replacement for another member who asked.
That's what the site is all about anyway,helping other third gen owners and sharing ideas and knowledge about our cars.

Re: Second gen snowflake wheels on a Third Gen

I love the snowflake wheels and don't think they look bad on the 3rd gen FB's and TA's. I sure do love the 17" snowflakes and if I had a 2cd gen they would be on my must have list.

Re: Second gen snowflake wheels on a Third Gen

I hadn't seen pics of the 15's before now.
I am refinishing a set of 15X8 for mine. I have changed my refinishing plans, different paint, but still generally the same.
