I think you should save the money from tires and do some body work! but if you insist on tire mount them on the firebird wheels the camaro wheels look out of place on birds.

yes the car is beat
i already got passenger door, front quarter pannels, power buldge hood, 82-84 front bumper w/ a bra just to cover up the ugly front end till its painted. still looking to get a drivers door and a trans am rear bumper and start body work in the spring. plan is to remove all pin striping, door protecters, emblems and anything else to clean up the body and paint it black.
alot of birds are running the stock firebird wheels and i just want to be differnt so i bought a set of these irocs. you really think they would look out of place if i used them with some white letter tires?
maybe i should polish the firebird wheels up with some new white letter tires?
the car is a daily driver for winter and whenever my other car is parked because of weather or fixing up

If you bought the car for less than 1K, and put 10K in it, where did the K's go? Did you buy a 7K engine and a 3K transmission? Did you know there's a big dent in the fender? It looks like that would cost about half a K to fix.

Oh, yeah, odometer. Yeah, so anyway about the wheels, I'd say use whichever wheels that you have centercaps for, because they look real red-neck without them.

yes they do look ****ty without them, bad thing is i dont have caps for ethier and i cant find any, been looking for some for a year or more at wreckers, what happends to them all do they just fall off the wheels or is it kids jacking them like honda symbols
i did find 1 short michlen cap that fits on the rear only because no hub sticking out.
seems like $100 for a used set of these caps. id rather put that money towards a new set of wheels
is there any new wheels for around $100 peice that look alright on a bird?
