Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
In 2003 i upgraded to the Baer AlconPro4. Its basically the older version of the current Baer Track4. It just has really fat calipers and american racing wouldnt make me a set to clear my calipers so i bought the Intro Pentia's. They will basically build a wheel to your specifications. Really awesome service and products.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
lol yea i dont like the idea of running spacers. Just makes me think of those youtube vids where guys are drifting and the wheels go flying off. I saw one where literally all 4 wheels came off 5 seconds into his run. Hilarious but i felt for him even though it was a RX7.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Ya I feel ya. I'm gonna be running a small spacer up front for my drag wheels but I'm not too worried about that. It's so they aren't tucked up super far in the fender lol.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I'm having a real dilemma deciding what to do about the wheels on my car. I have an opportunity to move to IROC wheels for $100, plus the cost of tires obviously.
Not sure if they are right for my car, there's something I love about the base wheels, but it sounds like too good an opportunity to pass up
please check out this thread and vote on my poll, I have to make my mind up fast

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
For some inexpensive rims (that I just happened to buy for $250 off Craigslist) are the Ronal R9's -- especially if you get them custom painted to match the body color!
They're usually a 16x8 and 5x4.75 bolt, but because of the chrome lip it makes them seem much smaller. Not for everyone, but damn they look niice!

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
How much did it cost you and where did you get it done? Will the strength of the wheel not be compromised?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
IIRC, it was $100 for the powdercoating & $300 for widening 1"-3" (i went with 2")....PER WHEEL. So $600 for just widening for 2 wheels.
I have no fear of the wheel strength being compromised. In actual tests I've seen, the weld seam was stronger than the material (steel bar) & the material fails in breaking outside the weld seam. I don't see how aluminum (the wheel) could be any different.
