Year one rims
I'm really curious how the year one Snowflake rims would look on my Formula. Does anyone have a pic of a black TA or firebird with them on it.

I like my stock rims, which I stripped and polished, but I want to change the appearance of the car for the first time in 12 years. Suggestions?

Photoshop of the above pics or of the year one rims? I think the snowflakes look nice but I'm just not sold on the overall appearance of the rims because I haven't seen them on any other 4th gens to compare.

They're a little too busy for my tastes. Could look interesting though I guess..
I honestly came in here hoping for pics of these birds:

But i do like these rims. They are American Racing 200S alloy wheels with "Magnetallic Grey" spokes on some GMMG cars.

i've got QA1's up front and I still need to drop the rear. The Moser 9" kicked it up a bit.
They look good but remind me too much of torque thrusts. I like the look but it seems like they're all to common. That was my reason for liking the snowflakes. I haven't seen them on a car other than year one's website, which I'm not about to make a purchase not knowing how they're going to look. thanks for the imput guys

Sorry for the thread revival, but this guy on ebay sells them, they look pretty sweet. Sellers name is restoreamusclecar.

There was also a picture of a teal colored firebird I saw yesterday here. I will try to find it.

I've been thinking about these ever since YO came out with the Snowflakes for 2nd gen cars. I finally got off the pot and ordered a set last weekend. I'll get some pics on my NBM 'vert when they come in. I was really wanting gold Snowflakes since I have a tan top and interior, but they only come in gunmetal for 4th gens. Depending on how they look, I may have them powder coated gold later.
