Welcome to the club!
Get some '96 WS6 rims and you'll have the look on a new level. Cool you've got a 6 speed.

not trying to be a dick but the term whip is used when a car has been completely customized, so technically, its just a ride or car at this stage. hehe

I agree, once you start modding, you'll quickly learn what it's like to be poor

sorry, my new "car"

i would like to either put some chrome firehawk rims on it (if i can find some) or some y2k vette rims.

What do the 96 ws6 rims look like? (im still pretty new to these cars, i had to upgrade from mustangs to f-bodies)

Firehawk or WS6 wheels get my vote, Y2K's just dont seem to flow with the Firebird bodystyle at all IMO, nice car though! I wish mine was a 6-Speed.

well i actually washed the car when it was 33 degrees out a few days before that, but it was sunny out and i use to work at a car wash so it seemd ok to me. i cleaned the inside and took the pictures when it was 39, man i cant wait for spring.

now that i looked at the ws6 rims, i think those look better than the y2k rims, but nothing beats the firehawk rims, i wish i could find some somewhere.

If you're looking for firehawk rims, your best bet is to check out www.firehawk.org and keep watching the for sale section and hope that somebody posts up their rims, otherwise they're very hard to find. I just got some for my car for $900 with tires, and I came across them on that website...good luck and excellent choice if you do go with the hawk rims

Welcome a'board', ...
Let the mod's begin!
Be careful with the 99+ chrome Firehawk wheels, they've got a history of peeling chrome.
I think the painted silver Firehawk wheels would be good on there too tho!
