I can get these for $200. The guys says they are off of a 1999 firebird. Can anyone tell if they are "real" or aftermarket?

 

they look very close to the original wheels I had on my 2000

 

Does it matter if they are "real" (OEM) or not? As long as they are straight and true, that's all that really matters.

But if you wanna know OEM vs replicas, look at the back & read. If your still not sure, show us a pic of the back.

 

They look fine to me, not sure if those wheels would have been produced aftermarket. Do they have a GM stamping anywhere? Not sure if they should, but at least if they do there's your answer.

 

thanks. i'll get them.

 

You know you'll need bolt on spacers for those to fit properly, right?

 

I picked up a set of 2" adapters from skulte. A friend is also saying I need to replace my existing studs but I don't think I need to. It's a v6 and I don't beat on it at that. Plus, in my searches here and reading through the skulte website I never got the impression that studs would be an issue.

I was able to get a set of 2002 z28 16" rims and tires for $150. I'll post some pics in a couple weeks.

 

would you guys recommend buying new closed ended lug nuts? or should i just use the lug nut caps? i've been trying to find pictures of the two options, but haven't found any good close-ups.

re lug nuts, is there a place to buy these that are the gray color of the rims (not chrome). part stores seem to only have chrome.

thanks
