Default Firehawk or WS6 wheels on my Formula?

Pulled the Silver Firehawks off my Formula and put on a set polished 01-02 WS6 wheels recently and wanted to share some pics. Just curious which ones you all think look better on the Formula. Here are some before and after pics.

Firehawk:






WS6:

I actually still have them, but they need tires. The 315s are too expensive lol.

Speedlines, no doubt about it. I like the older Firehawk wheels though.

I say go with the Firehawk wheels! A little more rare is more unique, I think. But hey, if you decide to go with the WS6 wheels...lemme know how much you'll let the Hawk wheels go for

Just buy some Sumitomo HTRZ there like $100 for 315 each.

Firehawk rims in black will look awesome with the red. Get someone to photoshop them black and see what they look like. I like the 98-01 Ws6 rims better then the 01-02 Ws6 rims.

I voted for the Speedlines. The Hawk wheels have always looked sissy to me plus the polished look looks alot better with the red.

I also vote the ws6 wheels. It made my mind up with what wheels I run when it's time for my car to get new ones. I also kindof wonder what the 16 inch polished firebird wheels would look like.

I like silver wheels better. Speedlines look alittle chunky without the WS6 hood. IMO
I like the firehawks. I had a set on my old 97 formula,

I love the Speedline look. I run them on my NBM Formula, I bought them from a member here last year.

I really like them on your car, they look great with the red!

Here's mine:

I like the Firehawk wheels better... that might just be because the WS6s are so similar to the wheels I'm taking off my camaro today... putting on some C6s!
