New Firehawk wheels mounted

Many thanks to Dyno Don, as he helped me get these rims and the tires to put on my car.

This is just a quick cell-phone pic. Better pics will come in the morning in better daylight.

Nice! I was debating going with these but I decided to keep my stock wheels. Are these the reissue ronals?

Sorry for the thread revival but I finally got some new pictures.

No issues with lock to lock steering.

The tires are Riken Raptors 275/40-17.

Kevin, that is absolutely awesome. I'm a little jealous, and inspired.

How are you liking those Riken Raptors? Their speed, traction and temp ratings are excellent, and they're affordably priced. Makes them attractive. I've been eyeing them for awhile now, but in 16".

Re: New Firehawk wheels mounted

Hey they look great on your car kevin, so where did you find the 4th matching one? I liked when they were on my 97 camaro, far better then the sumitomo's I replaced them with.

Thanks for buying them ... Jeff
