The guy said we don't know what kind of wheels they are.....were you wanting to purchase a set of our brakes? I should reply and tell him I'll by their brakes if they figure out what wheels those are

i dont believe that car is from overseas, all those cars have turn signals in the fenders, right above the brake coolers, in order to be street legal.

if you zoom in it's not going to really make it LEDGIBLE... but you could see the shape of the logo a little better.

hmmm, they seemed to be more helpful with replying to my email than the last guy that tried. They wrote me back with all the info and specs... unfortunately, that cars wheels are way more narrow than the staggered look suggests.

hello,

here are the wheel-data:

Brock LM Felge B12 SLC (Chrom)
8.5 x 18 Et 35 front,
9.5 x 18 Et 30 rear,

wheelsize:

255/40 R18 99Y front
285/35 R 18 101Y rear

the company Brock have made a special centerring for this wheels to fit on the pontiac firebird.

you will need special bolts which you can order also by this company,

the article number for the bolts are : M1215KEGN.

if you need further information please contact me.
