Default Pics of a Firebird with S10 rims.


this belongs to a employee at a junkyard that i visit..
i may be wrong but it looks like stock s10 rims.
i only remember because theres a s10 down the street with the same rims.

thought yall would get a laugh out of it.. or maybe like it

Never seen it on a 4th gen before, had to use some spacers or something. I was planning on putting that exact same set on my Regal T-Type when I had it. Supposed to be a direct swap for the G-Bodies.

It looks like a v6, I don't see a second pipe on the left side or Formula written on it. Someone had what they felt was a good idea and I kinda like it. I wouldn't ever do it, but it is a genuinely unique and definitely interesting.

would look neat if the gray areas were painted black.. then left a polished lip and outline star. just dont like that star shape by the lug nut hole area. looks like the backspacing is perfect. if it aint s10 rims then i could ask..i seen him coming to work once.

They are S10 wheels, I think they came on some of the Xtreames as wheel as the Blazer Xtreams. There's still some on Ebay.

Price is for a set of 4.

Those are S10/Sonoma ZQ8 wheels, the trucks that are factory lowered a little bit and have some suspension changes. Modeled after IRAWK wheels.

They don't look bad, I've seen MUCH MUCH worse.

You go to "Normandy" too? That firebird is a v6 with the Xtreme Blazer wheels on it, I see it all the time at the junkyard and around town. S10 2wd can use camaro/trans am wheels but they have to run a 2" spacer. Only the 4wd blazers can use the camaro/trans am wheels cause they have a similar offset.

^^ yeah. found a set of t-tops yesterday.. 25/each. then a RS rear wing for 20 (all from 93-97)

i went to the junkyard by the airport once..which is further.. and there was like 8 camaros/firebirds with t-tops. i was gonna go back and get them and buy them and re-sell them for a profit. they also had a 93-97 with a Wings West rear bumper ground effect molded to a stock bumper.

found some good stuff at junkyards tho. i got black leather seats from a firebird. somebody already snatched the front seats. they were like 20 for the whole seat.

Buddy of mine has 3rd gen firebird rims on his S-10. I wouldn't in any way do it the other way around. Offset is way off on a 4th gen.

It's $379 for all 4, so about $95 for one, not that bad.
