Formula Wheels Reproduction...

Just saw this pic on LSX TV - coverage of SEMA 2013 including some pics of the OER booth.

Re: Formula Wheels Reproduction...

Cool. Sizes available? Formula center caps rather than Firebird logo? Quality lug nut caps rather than oem plastic? Manufacturer?
I have grown attached to these wheels even though I know I have to move up to 17's for good rubber. 216k on mine. Just can't seem to move off of them, yet. Jewelry is last on the list of mods.

All I know is that OER is making them.

Not sure of the sizes, although don't expect them in 9.5" wide - they are probably going to be 8" just like OEM.

Re: Formula Wheels Reproduction...

Very cool, wish I was there this year!
The (wrong) cap shown is just for display, they already offer the correct cap, WS6 emblem and lug nut caps for that wheel .
If you want better than stock like parts, look farther in the aftermarket.
They also have had this stuff in the online catalog for quite some time.
