Shame nobody is making these. If someone could make ws6 wheels in a 17x11, they would make a killing!

I still want a "Deep Firehawk" 17x11 wheel. A 17x11 Firehawk with better offsets than stock. Pretty much, a cheap 17x11 wheel that isn't a Fikse, CCW, or ZR1.

I don't know why OE hasn't made them. They copy every other wheel out there I don't see why they can't copy a Firehawk wheel. I think if they did make them a **** load of people would buy them. Not just the people that have Firehawks that want to replace their peeling wheels but a lot of other Firebird owners and I'M SURE a set would end up on a Camaro.

Look at how many ZR1's where made and everybody has those wheels.

I think I might wet myself if I could just see a CAD drawing of a deep dish 17x11 Firehawk wheel.

And why is there so much hate from the mods when someone bumps an old thread? Don't you think it makes more sense to bump an old thread with dozens of people subscribed to it then starting a new one asking the exact same thing. If someone would have done that someone would have bitched he should have used the search function. /rant

The major fail of this thread was the fact that they would be priced at around $2500

Well I can see how people don't want to spend any money but at the same time it does cost money to make stuff.

I don't think we will ever find an affordable option unless OEWheels makes them.

Ya OEwheels would be the only way. For $2500 ill stick to CCWs. So many affordable cast options for Vettes, I dont see why they dont see a market for replica Fbody wheels.

if my laptop hadnt died and i have to use my phone to get on here i can 3d model and could have modelled you a set of deep dish firehawks and even put them on a 96 trans am ws6 model. I never got to make the 98-02 version =[ i modelled for a friend or mine a set of new 19 inch ctsv wheels and brakes on a trans am and did a heritage spoiler and fender vents as well on it. If i can get on a pc i will upload a pic later.

Shame I didn't see this thread when it was new, I had gave up on a place doing a replica firehawk in 17x11! I checked around on getting them custom made, and places were saying over $2000 per wheel, so I would've been up for $2500 for a set Oh well, I'm planning on selling the car now anyways.
