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

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.
