I love them in fact my next set will be those. 1300 for wheels AND tires is a pretty damn good deal if you ask me. ive seen them go for 2200 NEW with NO tires. Id say go for it. I know a guy with a new formula that has those wheels and it looks awesome.

I still prefer the chrome firehawk wheels

Those are nice especially if they come w/ tires.

[Dominic]

It's a tough choice, I can't decide if I like the Firehawk or C5 wheels better. What do you think about the Firehawk wheels, 97BIRD? The C5 wheels are cool because they have a different look to them. But the Firehawk wheels would look perfect on a Firebird.

[97BIRD]

i like the C5 ones better b/c they are different. the firehawk ones look like the stock ones w/ chrome on them to me. my vote is defitely for the C5, i was just wondering what the rest of the board thought.

thanks for the input guys... graemlins/burnout.gif graemlins/burnout.gif

the firehawk rims are very slender compared to stock

I love the look of the Y2K C5 wheels and will probably go with those when the new engine goes in.

Anyone know where I could find rims such as SLP offers for Third gens? Do all f-bodies have the same bolt pattern? I really like some of the rims on SLP but, they are all for the newer generations of Camaros. I also like the 1991-1992 rims, if anyone knows where I could find those... Thanks a lot!

Personally, those wheels shouldn't be seen around a red firebird such as your 97 bird. THey are for expensive vettes and not for overpriced firebirds with people that have a ridiculous amount of money to spend without earning it. graemlins/bs.gif (note usage of BS sign all the time)

I was considering this setup but feared it would cause problems with abs. Do you know if your friend had any problems like this or did he have to compensate with different height of tire to keep the same ratio?
