I dont like thin spoked wheels on firebirds and the rivets are meh. Ive never seen that setup before though atleast you were creative.

Wow, those make the brakes look like toys. As said above, with a lower stance and a bigger brake kit, they would look better.

TOO BIG! I honestley think you shouldn't go any bigger than 18's on an F-body...maybe you could pull off a 19 on the rear...

I think they will look pretty good if you lower the car. The way the wheel is designed makes the wheel look huge. Those 19s look way bigger than mine.

What size tires are u running? The front tire has a very small sidewall.

what size are the tires? They look way too narrow for those wheels, also you could use alot more sidewall esp in the rear. The car must ride like a lumber wagon with those rubber band tires. Im not opposed to a 19/20 combo but i dont really think this car/wheel combo pulls it off. Might look a little better if you get the proper size tires and lower the car.
Not to be a dick, just giving my 2 pennies.

You should be fine. I have Pacesetter headers and I'm lowered on Sportlines. You just have to be, a little bit more careful when you drive around.
