I'm with these guys. As an 02 ws6 owner I am forced to either:
1) buy expensive aftermarket wheels which look nice. I've got better things to spend my hard earned cash on. something doesn't seem right about putting 3-4g wheels on a damn firebird.
2) put replica vette or camaro rims on my car. it's a pontiac not a chevy!
3)buy el cheapo rims that are different. yuk...can't find any that look nice.
4) keep my 2001.5-2002 factory speedlines. Too narrow and I don't like how they look.
5) switch to 96-01 ws6. best looking oem wheel designed of all f-body or vette wheels IMO, especially of firebirds. still too narrow out back though....would really like to run a 315 tire. 18's would really be really nice. If priced reasonably like the mustang repro's..(read 1g or less), I would buy them immediately.
There is a huge market for these. Not just the 4th gen f-bodies but also the 3rd gen f-bodies can use them with spacers. That's a pretty good market for one style of rim!

WS6 rims with 17x11 or 18x11 or 10.5 would work too...i love my rims now but after 10 years they get pretty worn out. Don't get me wrong they still shine and are extremely nice but new is always better!!! and i'd like to get 315's. Firehawks would also be good too!!

Honestly I got zr1's right now, and if they had a deeper lip id be satisfied, or even if they made them in 18's but oh well
