WANTED: Firebird Rims, slotted type

Im looking for 15x8 firebird rims i guess youd call them the aluminum slotted type. i beleive the first year thay were introduced was in '84. Id perfer to pick them up as im not looking to spend alot and shipping would kill me. Thanks ~Vinny

Do you have a picture of the "high tech" turbine rims? I need it ASAP, i have on offer to pick up a set tomorrow that are 5x7 but id like to get 15x8. I might not be explaing the rims correctly. I ve never knew of a certaint name that there called but the style was used from '84-'92 and there not the "knight rider" type.
Thanks ~Vinny

your referring to the 15 inch wheels that look like the 16 inch formula wheels right?

YES YES YES! good explanation. But I picked up a set yesterday in really good condition for $100 BUCKS.. the only thing i dont lik e about them is that there 15x7. I really wanted 15x8. But this was a good deal and i couldnt let them pass. i can try to find what i need at a later time. Thanks guys, ~Vinny

there were no 15x8 versions, only way to get 8 inch wide was if they were 16 inch wheels I think

There were no 15x8's on 3rd gen cars. 16x8 was the only 8" wide option.

Ya know, i think we should take this to the Tech forum because now that i think about it, i can almost swear mine were 15x8. I just checked ebay, out of curiousity, and found a few like my old ones that list that they are 15x8...
