no, it will look fine, just make sure the tire diameter is the same as stock, somewhere around 25.7-26" tall.

Oh, you mean "Daisies".

I may have a pic, I'll look for it.

*edit*

Found it... the wheels are just sitting in front of the car, but you get the idea.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

blackiroc,
never heard them called daisys before.
are yours chrome,or polished?
how do you get such big pictures?

well,i put them on to see if i liked.
i believe i'll keep em on awhile.
don't laugh at those itty bitty tires in front.
it's all i could find at the time.
it needs a set of 205,or 215 in front.

They look great on there, I really like the '88 little spoiler too. For the picture, I just copied the link from my Photobucket account and pasted it in my post.

In the pic, the rear wheel is a newer polished aluminum and the front wheel is one of the original chrome ones from a while back. I actually sold them a few years ago... wish I would have kept them.

i gave 1000.00 for the car and put a fuel pump on it.
the motor feels really strong.is it possible to have an ho in a sport coupe?
it factory 5-speed.
the seats had covers on em,and look new underneath except one wear spot on drivers in normal getting in out place.
the dash is a cracked corner is all.
i thought about trying to repair with black silicone.
it's got a small dent in pass quarter where someone backed into him.
you can see in picture.
and he said he paid 1700.00 for the crappy paint job when he hit a deer with pass fender.
they didn't even replace fender,just tried to repair.
i am gonna find out who fixed it and let em know how sorry a job they did
on the boys car.
he got took for 1700.00....seen maaco do lots better for 600.00.
jd
i tried the lay up wheels against my 89 rs before i put em on my 88.
these were 14x8...only ones i had tires on at time.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Just picked up a set of mint Camaro SS twin-spoke wheels for $170 today off of Craigslist. Needless to say, I'm VERY happy. I'll be painting them black to match the new paintjob. My decision was actually in part because of this thread, I just didn't catch any cars that had the SS wheels in gloss black.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Sometimes, the stock wheels dont look so bad, but if you ask me, the ZR1's are always a safe bet and Fikses cant be beat. Too bad the price is terrible!
Which rims do you think would look good on a white third gen?

i saw someone on here who made them into a 17 and widened them. dont remember where but they looked awesome!

Nothing like the stock wheels.





Picked em up for $100. Only defect is they were labeled with tape and the adhesive needs to be removed as you can see.

Anyone got ADR Sterlings or similar looking rims? Having difficulty finding rims that look like this with the correct bolt circle. The only ones I find are like custom-foose-superduper-120000$-pr-rim types.

Those look like the AR Casino player rims I had on my grand prix, not sure if those are made for rear wheel drive cars though.

I have a set, i havnt mounted them yet(needs spacers) i had them on my bimmer before I got rid of it. They mount up fine, just look foolish without spacers to push them out a bit.

Like Big IROC's?

I'm not trying to flame anybody else's ride, but I saw this car on craigslist and I just had to share. In my opinion, it takes big rims (even IROC's) too far.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Hello All,

I am currently in Afghanistan and have limited internet time, especially during the holiday period. I managed to make it through the first 13 pages of this thread and didn't see the information I was looking for. I may be able to get some '03 Z06 wheels (17x9.5 and 18.10.5). From what I was able to read, I will need spacers to get them to fit on my '91 RS coupe. Any idea where I can get them? I may also have to "massage" the wheel well in the rear. Does anyone have these wheels already? If so, what size rubber did you have mounted?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Wow, I tried to comment, but it kept coming out with a ban somewhere. Someone just buy the car so it wont be adding to another stereo-type. Lord knows we have enough of that to deal with as it is.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

He left the wheel center 16" and had the lip made into 17x10 I believe. Someone else had true 18's made but they didn't come cheap

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

Sorry I meant the older RS ones as seen in my sig, not the flat 91-92 style. Those are Boyd Coddington wheels. Nice, but the 91-92s aren't my style.

Puma, You have a sharp looking car, I like the RWL on the Z28-RS 15's.

Puma, a lot of people dont realize how beautiful the Z28/RS wheels really are! They have a sort of "reflectiveness" to them when the light is just right. Not only that but when you have a set that is clean, and not all beat up like yours and mine, they look really nice.

I would not mind seeing a set of 17's, preferably in the stock gray finish myself.
