Usually not a fan of beadlocks, real or fake, but those look really good, especially on that car. Nice de-badge, and !trim too.

those arent beadlocks... they are either real 3 piece wheels, since he said he was gonna flip them, of they are fake 1 piece wheels with the fake rivets

Lol @ knock offs. CCW 505A's are a 2 piece wheel, these are a true 3 piece. I actually had 505A's and like these better. Not saying they were bad at all' they were a quality wheel. I liked the TT2's but I want to do big brakes and they were so damn heavy. Not to mention everyone had them.

My plan was to get 1/2" to 1" wider outer hoops and then do the. Centers in a matte black. Still haven't decided 100% though.

I guess I just prefer the ccw's because they didn't have the rivets and looked cleaner imo. I know the rivets serve a purpose, just not my cup of tea. With that being said, I would much rather have your iforged wheels than my speedlines lol

I mean I definitely agree they looked cleaner and I must say I don't like a fake rivet wheel but since these are actual bolts it's gravy. Haha. I'm honestly still trying to figure out if I like them or not. I truly want a set of Classics or SP500s but I just couldn't pass up this deal.

SP500. Those would look sick on your car. Plus, not many firebird guys run them.
