Default C5 wheels on Firebirds.

No, not the C5 Z06 wheels.. But the 5 spoke ones. I just got a 94 Formula and am lookin at wheels. I havent seen any 5 spoke C5 wheels on a Firebird yet, and was just wondering what they would look like on it.

If anyone has a pic of their Firebird with C5 wheels, or know someone who has them on their Firebird, and wouldnt mind posting them up, It would be greatly appreciated.

Have seen a couple, the look nice from the side but the offsets are wrong so they look like crap from any other angle ... unless you can find them in the correct offset for the Firebird that is.

I had the thin spoke wheels on my car a few years back, they were the 1st wheels I bought for my car. I liked the way they looked but as Mean Green z28 said if you get the wrong offsets they look goofy from the rear. They were E-bay specials about 3 years ago, the listing said they were for f-bodys, they fit correctly but the offset was wrong. I ended up running a 1" adapter spacer on the rear wheels to make it look right. I am not sure if Tomzwheels has them in the correct offsets but if anybody did it would be him.

here are a few pics I found on my computer.


God that looks ugly, I should have done my homework...

With 1" spacer

with correct offset wheels.

I don't care for them personally. They are affordable and def better than stock!
