Don't even have tire tracks in front of it... LOL

It's been years since any cars were parked inside, used mainly for storage and a workshop

My car is currently sporting eagle alloys 203 series rims. However, my vote for the best looking rim goes to the torque thrust II hands down. I'll be trading my eagles in for a set shortly..... I know they're popular but they never get old.

I don't think there is a best rim for thirdgens, so many new styles come out every year. I personally favor the Fiske fm-5 or any line of the HRE rims.

I got Budnik Tiller 5's on.. Budnikwheels.com, they're NOT cheap at $1750 per set but no spacers or adapters needed and it gives the 3rd gen a SASSY look....check 'em out.

I really want a pair of Crager SS 08/61000 series Rims. I really like them alot. Was planning on putting 295/50/15's in back and 245's in front (Stingers) Does anyone know or have Cragers if there is enough backspacing or am I going to have to do some mods???
Also if anyone has a set of Cragers for sale let me know. I was planning on buying new.. but if anyone here has like new Cragers and are willing to sell let me know. Email below
will my tire sizes work? Planning on the reg crager ss for front and the inset Cragers for the rear. or should I go inset all way around?

i wasnt sure how these would look at first but i was quite impressed after i mounted them and dropped the car. they look better than any of the ones iv seen and yes they are centerline 16s , not 15s like most.

ford rims
ok, before i tell everyone where to get what they need for the cobra's, i just want to clear the air... yes i know it's a ford rim but hey i think it's somthing different, and these days you have to do somthing to compete with guys out there like i belive fatal88, who done that iroc up....... yeah i'll never probably own such a masterpiece but hey a mans got to do somthing to try and compete....
the wheels come from perfomance wheel outlet in ca...... the guy hooked me up with a company called classic wheel works in glendora, ca... they make whats really a 2" spacer that bolts to the hub and the rim which "is" a chevy bolt pattern bolts to the adapter.... there was some confusion with the 16mm offset for the rear but he done the math for classic......
if you have any other questions please pm bluegrassz because i speak to him usually on a daily basis and i don't have a computer so phone is basically all i have....... i'm at a library now
thanks again

One of my fav's is this one:

CenterLine Galaxy
I was just reviewing some of the Firehawk rim pics and I must say, aside from being a deep dish wheel, they look pretty generic. To someone who doesn't know thirdgen's, they look like a bigger size, cheap-o wheel.... at least IMHO.

My opinion:
Factory wheels will always look the best.
For the Pontiacs, definately the later model Formula wheels.
For the Chevys, I am partial to the later model Iroc wheels.
Now if only these were available in larger diameters/widths...
If I have to pick aftermarket, most wheels with a 5 spoke(ish) design will look marvelous...
Has anyone seen the Edelbrock 409(?) wheels on an F-Body?
I believe "Car Craft" had a build up they did using these...
Also, American Racing makes (made?) a nice wheel in 17X8 which would look awesome on an F car. The name is (was) Longboard. It has (had) a split 5 spoke (10 spoke) design with thin arms which would proudly display any performance brake upgrades.
I will search and post pics if I can find any...

The offsets are different though. On the back of the wheels it is stamped either front or back. As long as you get that right, your all good.Phyte

I tried to get the Edelbrock 409's but was told they were on back order. I did and still do really like them. I ended up going with the Snypers and really like them but wish they were chrome. They are currently for sale. I'll be getting something chrome next year after I buy another engine.
