Here is the money shot.


Front tire.


Here is a rear wheel that I had widened from 9.5" to 12" by WeldCraft Wheels, cost was $225 each wheel.


For fun, three of my kids. Titus, Destiny and Haley.

Wow I really like those wheels. I looked them up and found them to be the MB "Essen" wheel. Do they come in a variety of offsets or did they just happen to fit on the first gen? I might consider a set of these myself as the price is very nice.

Thanks,
William

I agree with Scott. The kids in the wheel is the money shot. Keep the pics coming. Go Firebird...

William,

I bought mine from Discount Tire Direct for $145 each and free shipping. They come in two widths 8" or 9.5" and two different offsets, 20 and 35. Which works out to be.....

18x8 20 offset = 5.29" backspace
18x8 35 offset = 5.88" backspace
18x9.5 20 offset = 6.04" backspace
18x9.5 35 offset = 6.63" backspace
