Very nice looking. I like it. Looks similar to our RT series wheels. Regarding price, you get what you pay for. People complain about options...someone comes up with one and now there's new complaints.

This is their street wheel , not a drag wheel correct?

Do you have a front shot or shot head-on to see how the fronts tucked?

Correct Steve, this is a street wheel. The R/T wheels as mentioned before are a heavier wheel, being a street design. They are about on par with a Weld Prostar. He wanted to get a set of Bogarts, but drives the car a lot on the street, so he decided to go with a set of these. It all comes down to what someone is looking to do. Had it been more of a track car, I would have put Bogarts on it. I do have some pictures from the front, but they are not here on my work computer. For being a 1.50" backspace, they sure do tuck in a LOT better than I thought. They don't stick out at all.

Here is one crappy cell phone picture.

Those wheels look good on the Pontiac for sure! Any know if the Firebird fenders bulge more than a Camaro, cause these would not work on my Z/28, but seem just fine in the picture?

Apparently some cars you have to shave a tiny tab off of the rear brakes to clear them, but I didn't have to on my car, and we didn't have to with his car.

Well we got ours through my work. But I'm not a sponsor here. Your best bet is probably Summit Racing.

It looks even better now that someone took care of the suspension issues. People are retarded. End of story.
