just wondering what people think of these wheels for a third gen firebird, theyre 18s

 

looks alright, im not a big fan of the 9+ spoked rims, these are more like it:

imagine these, 18's on the front and 20's on the back..

 

Are they 5x120 or 5x4.75? They look a lot like CCW's, though Im sure they're not as high quality.

And Greencamaro, that wheel is gross. Looks like something a 17 year old with too much money would put on their car.

 

i loke the first ones

 

i dont like the OP rims.. i like Greens

 

well to let you know, i am 18, and i do have a lot of money because i am a milker so... explains that. haha. but like i said, his arent bad either, i just dont like the spoke rims look on camaros, on firebirds either only the OEM

 

hate to say it but those are pretty god awfull

 

theyre 5x120, and theyre varrstoen es111

 

The OP wheel choice looks pretty good. Gives the look of a much more exspensive wheel in what is probably a cast wheel. Do it!

The Black and Machines Helo wheels need to be on a Charger or 300...

 

I much prefer the OP selection. The one GreenCamaro posted looks very "wanna-be" and "poser" to my eye. But that's just me.

 

Yes, BBS LeMans or copies, I was contemplating those for the TA now that I put my concave wheels on the gray camaro.

 

I'm not a huge fan of replica wheels, if you can swing it, get some real BBS LM's. With that said, if you're not trying to play them off as real then run whatever you like. Are those Varrstoen's even a 3 piece wheel?

 

i dont like Green's rims. they look "rice" to me. i like th OP's. but either way, wouldnt you need to use spacers?

 

I personally like the OP's wheels better of the two, but they won't work on our cars without bolt pattern adapters. Really wish GM had used the 5x120 pattern instead. Better choices in my opinion.

 

Varrstoen's are one piece cast. Where did you find a retailer for them, kcaalarcon? I had trouble finding one that stocked the sizes that I wanted. I was planning on putting BBS center caps on them too. Oh noes!

Here's a similar looking wheel to give you and idea of how it would look.

 

you can find em on ebay or if you google search them you can find a link to web sites that have them

 

to everyone that prefers the bbs, i would get them but i cant afford them and even if i could im not willing to drop that much money into a set of wheels

 

Real BBS LM's are over $4,500 just for the wheels. Those are a nice reproduction, what's the price on them?

 

theyre about 1000 for 9.5 wide and 10.5

 

Very similer to my stern hypermesh II

 

green camaro. those look like somthing you would put on a 2012 mustang. and the first set of wheels looks like somthing would go on a bmw e30 BSS wheels. i love e30 bmws and thos wheels just not on a 3gen. and green camaro im also eightteen with to much money and those wheels are nice just not on a 3gen.

 

I like the wheels that the OP posted. They'd look great in 18" with gold spokes on a GTA. The ones that Green posted look like they belong on a mid 90's Caprice with a "SKITTLES" badge on the side.

 

I really like the OP 18's. I like the price even better!

 

I really don't care for either. bigger rims means bigger brakes which means more money so ill just stick with my beautiful stock rims

 

Mine are autoart....BUT a similar design to the first ones...

 

sick ride!!!!

 

how bout the rpms, theyd be a staggered 18 19

 

OO those are some nice ones, i do dig those ^

what kind and cost on those?

 

looked like 150 something per

 

theyre 190 for the 18x9 and 220 for the 19x9.5

 

RPms will need spacers,
my sterns do not.

 

nice, can you link them up, i might just be interested in those

 

just go look on wheelsnext.com, theyre rpm r505. what model sterns do you have?

 

I think there some good lookin wheels

 

which ones?

 

Actually, with the right backspacing, they bolt right up. I've got 40k miles on mine, and I've never even had to re-tighten a lug nut. All you need is a set of $15 hubcentric rings, and they'll run glass smooth as fast as your car can carry you.

Gentlemen, your remarks strike rather close to home. I lasted through about 3 days of staring at the tiny factory brakes and the gaping void they left in my 18" rims before I started looking at upgrades. I also seriously considered powdercoating the inlets of my M-Parallel wheels gold before I put them on the GTA, but alas, impatience and a lack of funding got the best of me.



Here's my end result with 18" BMW rims. They're M-Parallels off a 740. 18x8" w/13mm ET front, 18x9.5" w/ 25mm ET rear. I'm running factory 1LE hubs up front (equivalent to a 3/8" spacer), and a 10mm spacer rear. Rubber is 245/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear. It's sitting on Hotchkis springs. Brakes are C5 HD front (13" rotor) and PBR rear (11.7" rotor). Absolutely no rubbing anywhere, even on full lock.

On a final note, I agree with 90% of the other opinions on here concerning Green's wheel selection taste. Those things look horrendous, and have absolutely no business on any 3rd gen I've ever seen.

IMO they look too modern for a 20 year old car
