I have a set just like those, but with GY GS-D3 rubber, on my 01 red vert. They look awesome, but I recommend the stock WS-6 centercaps for T/A's.

those look great. I was thinking the 56/50 grand sport offset was not going to look good on the firebird (too tucked in), but your pics show it works well. I'm going to get black zr1's for my ta also; just can't decide on the offset- thinking either the 50mm 17x9.5's all the way around (might looked too tucked in under the bulgy back fender, though) or OEM zr1's with the 36mm offset (which, from what I've read, is doable on the firebird but I'd probably have to get them powdercoated myself).
Or I might do the 17x11 in the back... hmmm...
