BMW style 5? GTA

Anyone have a GTA with BMW style 5's on it? I am interested in seeing a slammed maroon GTA with gold BMW style 5's, but i dont know if this has ever been done. Well, honestly any near factory looking lace style wheel, but the stock are just too small a diameter. BTW i mean WITHOUT center caps, although the centercaps DO replicate the factory ***** in a way.

The ones in the firefox article look good https://www.thirdgen.org/firebird_fi..._december_1991 would be nice to find a stock looking bigger crosslace for these cars.

You could post up that wheel pic, along with the car you want them on, up on the Photoshop Request board, & somebody here might do it for you.

Just found out, the BBS on the Firefox are probably BBS RS wheels.

Looks like they could still be put together http://www.felgenmann.de/BBS.htm http://www.felgenmann.de/ersatzteile.htm

I would love to see this as well. I have a GTA too and have been looking around for nice rims. I think I may have found the kind I want in the above post. Those look sick!

Re: BMW style 5? GTA

Those wheels, at least if its the ones in the pictures, are on the money except for the fasteners (or whatever they are called) around the rim of the wheel. I know they have a purpose but I prefer the look without those fasteners.
