ZR1's on Firebird?
ZR1's on Firebird? Does anyone have any pictures of some 17" ZR1 rims (preferaby silver) on a Firebird? I have been looking at rims for my car. Also, does anyone have any experience with the ZR1 rims that are all over eBay? The prices seem very low, I'm wondering about the quality.
I liked them for the time they were my street rims. I like the TTM's better though.
Hope those help. BTW the stock WS6 center caps fit the ZR1's

Hey Dave, what's up? 
Is there anyone that sells aftermarket Firehawk wheels? To be honest, I don't know If I am completely sold on the ZR1 look myself, but the price is very attractive. I think my favorite look is still the 17" silver WS6 rims. There's a guy in my apartment building (I just moved to Easthampton) with a black '96 WS6 TA with those wheels and they look perfect on that car. But going that route would be a lot more expensive. Plus I want to get Nittos if I go to 17's so it won't be cheap.
What's new with you? Did you ever find another Firebird?

I don't see why people put ZR1 rims on birds, I don't think they look good at all. Just my .02 though. No flame intended at all.
The rims are so cheap because there is so many places making them. I have seen several sets of the replica wheels and they do look nice.

Hey Alex,
Long time no talk, man. I never did get another Bird. I was about to buy one this month, a '94 Formula six-speed, but the owner decided to keep the car until spring.
The early Firehawk wheels, like I have on my car, were made by ROH. I don't know the model number of the wheel, but they look just like the ones in this auction:

Only difference is that mine have gunmetal spokes.
I don't think the ZR1s are the way to go, man. I think even the stock wheels look better. It's all subjective, of course.

Especially being the same color.I found a set of WS6 rims on eBay for $750 + shipping, but they are polished and I would prefer silver. If I'm going to spend that much money it really has to be exactly what I want. Plus I looked up some 275/40/17 Nitto NT555's and that would run about $600. Maybe I should just live with the stock 16's. I do love the style, they just need to be one inch larger.
If you're still looking for a Firebird there is a guy around here who had a '96 Formula for sale, I'm not sure if he still has it. The only thing is it's an auto and I know you want a 6 speed. Had 111,000 miles, black, clean, with a WS6 hood, and he was looking for $6,500. I could PM you his contact info if you want.
Alex, I understand what you mean about hijacking my look. I actually thought of that earlier. I wouldn't mind, but I know you probably want your car to be different than the other green LT1 in the area.
Is that black car the one for sale in Ludlow? If it is, it is definitely a nice car, but out of my price range. The '94 I was going to move on was only $3500. Higher miles, but that doesn't bother me.

Yeah, I believe he is in Ludlow, I saw the guy at the Ludlow cruise night, as well as at marks in Connecticut.

Prior to Katrina I had a dark green 94 Formula with silver Zr1's 17 x 9 in front and 17 x 11 in back. If you have any questions I will be happy to help any way I can.
