If you had the correct backspacing, would your tire rub?

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
So many nice wheels, how does one choose? I'm riding a black 'Roc with gold trim, (stock appearance, stock gold iroc rims) and was thinking about black wheels with gold trim. Anyone riding on gold w/black trim or black w/gold trim. Have thought about NASCAR style wheels and painting a little gold trim. Anyone seen that style of wheel on a third gen. I have thought about "Snowflakes", but that's too Pontiac, nothing against 'Birds, but I'm a "CHEV it or leave it" http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-tires-packages/Black%20Rock-942D-Black%20Flat.html

Twin Turbo, that is one nice car. The wheels set it off just perfect. How is the ride with the 19s and coil overs?

That's not my car, I quoted fast377, it's his car. Awesome indeed.
I have whheels that are concave like that too but won't show them in fear of someone copying me.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I have my hood...it's propped up in the garage (just got it back), but my car is at the dyno getting tuned...so I haven't put it on. I just went with an ultra light RS style hood. I wanted to keep the Z28 hood (tired of seeing all the usual fiberglass hoods), but no one makes a light one.

My favs are CCW Classics, Fikse anything, and BBS RS/ARE 398 style rims... have yet to see a thirdgen sporting the BBS RS style though.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Yes, tell us more please. Great combo with that paint color. Looks more like a TA than a Z28, for some reason, and it looks awesome.
That SooB reminds me of a guy down in Arizona who builds "Viper Killer" STI's. He builds them to 700-800 horsepower. That much power with all wheel drive would be hard to beat.
Still, I like spinning the rears from time to time

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I still can't take my eyes off of these darn C5 deep dish wheels.
One, they look outstanding, and they look like they were made for our cars.
Two, at $477.00 for the whole set, I don't see how these can be beat.
My other top wheels:
1. stockers
2. Boyd Coddington- Magneatos
3. Boyd Coddington- HotRods
4. ROH- Snipers
To each their own, I suppose.

I'm surpised I haven't got a lot of "I agree" comments when I posted this before. Here they are on a nice Camaro:

With that color scheme on a TA, perhaps.

If I get the C5s, he'll think I'm a stalker.
That's good to know! I think I was more disappointed than anything else.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
$477 is a bargain. Just a shame you have to use spacers, which I feel detracts from the look slightly.
Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims

If you run a 4th gen rear, you don't have to use them on the back.
Spacers are a necessary evil, unless you want to pay triple that for some nice looking rims.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I don't know if you remember my SS wheels that I painted, but they will be going on my car when it's painted in the next month. The car will be a purple pearl color that looks "black" until the sun hits it.
Here's the wheels as they are now:

Those black wheels look a little like the new Caddy's wheels. CTS-V
http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-20...-1920x1440.jpg Seen these on a ZO6 and they looked awesome.
