BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Iforged Aero's are one of the best looking wheels on our cars, IMO. i went with the Intro GT Sport wheels on my IROC. theyre identical to the Aero's but significantly cheaper.

rears:

and ya i know the calipers dont match. ill be changing the rear's to black shortly.

I have these on my 01 SS:

Boyd Coddington F09
They would look great on my third gen. I'll swap them on the IROC once I get it back on the road.

cant decide...
Ok, so out of the two of these rims, which one should I go with?
Either 18" Chrome Irocs like these: (thanx maroon88iroc)

Or 18" Gotcha series Hotrods like these: (thanx camaroguy)

I realize Irocs are a camaro wheel, but I think they would look good on my firebird. But the Hotrods are really nice too. Only difference is about $900 extra dollars for the hotrods of course.
Someone help me make up my mind?

X 100. If someone made late style 17" & 18" and 9" or 9.5" wide, I bet they would be the hottest seller in the third gen markets.
I'm thinking about getting either some 18" C-5 rims, the 2000-up with the skinny spokes, or some ZR1 rims. What is the widest tire you guys are running? I will be slightly lowered and dont want to be rubbing and dont want to modify the fender or anything very much. Is anyone running a 285/35/18? 275? what about on an 18 inch rim? I also dont want the wheel sticking out past the fender at all because I think that looks horrible. Which looks better?

I'd say if you can afford it, get the hotrods. - still have yet to see a set on a bird so that'd be cool. Plus you can get them wider than 8" whereas the irocs are stuck at that
