Thanks I love the car I've always loved formulas. This is 1 of 23 I believe, my last car was a 98 Ws.6 Formula and it was 1 of 36. So I kinda have a thing for the rare ones

The Firehawks came with 2 options for suspension Koni and bilstein. They were about .5" lower than the regular cars, still not low enough for me.

Pics of mine. 1995 Formula Firehawk #58 54,000 miles. Only options it came with were the Hurst shifter and floor mats. Does anyone know if the wheels on it are original or did '95s come with the older design? I have a hunch they aren't the original wheels. Have all documentation as well as information to original owner. Car was bought down South in North Carolina and made its way up to New York where I bought it and drove it back to PA. I'm supposedly the fourth and hopefully last owner.

That 95 should have the older designed wheels. Not like the 93 94 firehawk. But wheels that look more like the 02 ws6 wheels came on the 95 firehawk

Those were exactly the wheels I was thinking of. Does anyone know when SLP started offering the thin-spoke wheels?

The 1997 Firehawk.



I think this is what your stock wheels would have looked like.

I am pretty sure the wheels you have started showing up on the 97 Firehawks if I remember correctly
