Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I think you missed it. Wheels made by trueforged. Model isChicane. I think from research the 295/30r18 tire or close to it rims are 18x10.5. Fronts are 18x8.5? Not sure about tire

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Thanks for the information. I just found some wheels that are real similar made by Privat that are much more affordable!
Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Budnik makes a wheel called Chicane. Is Trueforged and Budnik the same?

.

Upon further review, same name, different wheel.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
I like my toque thrust m's. I found them on a fourth gen firebird in a junkyard, and I bought the wheels and tires for 300. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
My new wheels shopped how they will look sort of. Shopped wheels have stupid low sidewall tires. I'lkl have a lot more sidewall, wheels are 19s. These look more like 20s

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
those wheels look killer! iv always favored and been a big fan of deep dish rims, but if i were to go the opposite way, those would be the wheel of choice. that rear wheel just looks sick how deep it actualy goes with the spokes steadily bowing out to the edge. iv seen certian lambos factory wheels pull in like that.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
Mine should be even deeper than those, an ET of 15 instead of 20 or 45.
I wanted this look without the insane price tag

The other choise was a set of Vertini Magic Concave wheels but they say "vertini concave" on the rim and it's machined on the black wheels. It's hideous

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
295/35/18 on the rear, I have 1 picture of it on the car but unfortunately I don't have the correct lug nuts to bolt it properly on the car. Also, I need to replace the spring on that side because it sags so much more than the other side. Will just do all 4 springs and shocks/struts while I am there.

Re: BEST looking 3rd gen firebird & camaro rims
thought i had seen these on this thread. i really like the way they look on the car.
need to drop the front a bit, but need to figure out a way not to scrape the long tubes on the speed bumps

Are those 11's on the rear? And do you ever rub on the fender lip in hard cornering?

Those are the rears and I have 295/35's on them...up front with the 18x9 wheel I will be putting 275/35's. I have not tested the front spacer I purchased for it, but I went with 1.25".

Those Trueforged wheels... I'm speaking with them about getting a set. Anyone have a guess on the offset on those? The Trueforged are pricy so I would like to see some other options as far as used stuff. kthx!
