Default Pic request of Ruff Racing 278

I am thinking about getting these wheels for my Trans Am. I really like the style and think they look great on Trans Am. However I am not sure if I like the bend in the spokes. They have a great 3.5 inch dish on the rear but to get that dish the wheels look like they bend in 2 inches behind the center.

I have searched all the posts about these wheels and was wondering if anyone out there has more pictures. I am especially interested in any that show how the bend looks.

Thanks,
Alex

If you've searched them I'm sure you've seen my pictures. There are only a few of us that have them, one or two others that I can think of off the top of my head.

I wasn't sure if there were more out there, i wonder why they are not more popular, they fit so well. Can you tell me how much they do bend in? I love your car btw.

Not as much as some pics make them look like. The fronts do have a little bit of a curve on them but they match the curvy lines of the Firebirds well. The rears bend a little less and look sick with the huge dish on the rear. I get compliments all the time on them.

The rear actually has less bend on them? I thought it was more on the rear to create the huge dish. I am going to have to try and get a look at these things in person.

I believe those are also CCW wheels. I think they have those same pictures in the 505 gallery.
