Personally I like the original look 17's.... Somehow you know they don't look "stock" and that kinda makes me wanna look at them even more... It's like "this dude is pretty cool -- he had some wheels made...."


Not sure if these are readily available or not -- 'cause I'm not a Firebird guy.

Greg the original looking 17" wheel is sold by "Year One" as a cast one piece... Very affordable all in all and a job well done in the appearance arena...

I know some guys have played with modifying the wheel width and even in a couple of cases there are wheels out there in 18" version/s as three piece wheels.. Not nearly as affordable generally speaking,,, but definitively cool in my mind....

They just look "right" on these cars.

Now that would be really kool!

Thanks for the input guys, just screwing around with ideas...

Definitely 17s. That sidewall is getting too short on those 18s...

SW, you really have a flair for making a car look wicked. Awesome T/A. I have to agree with you on one thing, the 73 is my favorite too.

I like the 17s but I think the 18s fit the well better. They come out further too and are more flush with the body. I would change to a taller side wall tire though. This was a problem I was concerned about with my TA when sizing tires. I wanted the bigger rim but wanted a meatier more muscular tire. So I went with 40 series tires. I have 245s front and 275s rear. Here's a picture of my car. It's not the best but hopefully it shows another option.

and my car looks like a 4x4 compared to SW's. Doh! The suspension has settled some since that picture was taken 3 years ago. I'll try to get a better one soon if anyone would care to see.

I would Trey! Wash it first and put a cheerio on top, lol!
