Question about finding some wheels...

First off, I have an 89 Firebird. I wanted to know if they made clones of the 'Smokey and The Bandit' style wheels that would fit my car. I would prefer the wheels be black but that isn't a requirement. Any help would be appreciated.

First I want to welcome you to TGO.Which "Smokey and the Bandit" are you speaking of 1('77 2nd Gen T/A SE 15x7 Snowflakes Code YJ8 -they do come in 15x8 in the WS6 package),2('80 2nd Gen T/A SE 15x8 Turbo Alloy I think is the name) or 3('83 T/A Turbocast wheels in 14" or 15").2nd and 3rd Gens share same bolt pattern for wheels.There is also a 14" version of the Snowflake that was available from '77 to '82.

1st picture 15x8 Snowflake,2nd picture 15x8 Turbo Alloy,3rd picture 15" version of the Turbocast without the center cover.

I'm talking about the 'snowflake' style rims. Do you know if they come in black?

They did come with black accents in the 14" and 15" versions.The black area is the same as the gold wheel pictured.
