Those look good but I still like the OEM twist of the "originals."

I'm with Sieg on this one. I do like both sets of wheels, but like the old school wheels a bit more.

Now if we could only get our good friends at the tire companies to consider the whitewall lettering packages again ;-)

Are those Intros???




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....
