Default Velocity vb2 on a Firebird?
I am planning on putting Velocity Motoring vb2s on my firebird.They are 19"x8.5".The problem is that they have a +37 offset.What do you think?

Not sure on these. Too Euro...you'll need hubcentric rings and a new centercap for sure.

They come with a chrome center cap.I don't know where I would get the hubcentric rings thought.I have two right now.I tried them out on one side of my car to see how they'll look.I think they look pretty cool.But like I said previously,the offset is my concern.

I guess they don't look too bad. +1 on being different. Do you see any fitment issues so far? Also, can't you get hubcentric rings through Discount or someplace like that?

It's funny, to just look at the pic of the wheel, I'd say I didn't like them.

But to actually see them on the car, well surprisingly they work, and actually look pretty good!

Definitely different.
