SOM with magnesium wheels? Anyone ever see this? Could anyone do a quick photoshop?
Found a great local set with tires...
This car
These wheels
I guess worst case scenario I could plasti dip them silver...
Here is as close to SOM as I could find, bright red.
If anyone owns those pics and doesn't want them used, let me know and I will take them down, just found via google.

no prob guys i'll try to get some pics today or tomorrow up the wheels fit fine in the front, on the back if I ran a 285 i'd probably be ok but the 295's did rub. theres enough room to run a spacer on the wheels which would have probably made it clear but i elected to use the BFH a little bit and no theres no rubbing lol

I agree about the firehawk rims being pricey, maybe you should try them and if it don't look good you can plastidip to sliver or black. Try a few different colors and see what looks best. You should post some pics of your ride.

I have these on my black SS, I love the look but mainly because they are so rare on an fbody, but if you go this route definatly find 4 back wheels! The front wheels are only 17x8.5 and the rear wheels are 18x9.5. In my opinion an fbody looks very aquward with staggered wheels, just my opinion. I had my wheels repainted a darker bronze, looks way better than the stock color.

Great info and pictures, thanks guys.
Ended up being a Craigslist scam....he said he would take $700 and leave the wheels outside his house. I just needed to put the cash in his mailbox and put the wheels in my car. But wouldn't give me an address, just told me to call when I got to his town. Not worth my time.
