Got bored of the slow car.....

Alright, so yesterday I was driving the SS and was having the urge to get back into the bird again. I missed having the T/A out on nice days since it has been off the roads for quite some time now because it is needing 4 new tires and I haven't had any money for them right now!! So yesterday me and a buddy swapped the wheels from the SS to the Firebird. I was mainly doing it to be able to drive the dang thing again but it ended up looking pretty damn good in the end in my opinion!!

What do you guys think??

Not too awful bad. The more I look at them the more they're growing on me.

there is a black ws6 with gloss black 10 spokes and it looks sick. the camaro looks good with the black wheels and the wheels look ok on the bird. maybe if it was droped a little and cleaned up and the tires dressed it would look better.
my cousin had a silver 99 ws6 with the silver 10 spokes and it was lowered and it look prety good so i think a drop would make it look good.

^^^ I agree. That thing looks like a 4x4 truck. Get a drop on it and it will look better. IMO

ehh.. not really feeling either, the WS6 wheels on the Camaro resemble oversized painted black V6 wheels, and they just look weird on the T/A. Camaro definitely pulls the swap off better out of the 2 though...

Yeah, I just wanted it to be driveable again. The black wheels are stock 01-02 powdercoated WS6 wheels. I have black ZR1's that I have had longer than I've had the car that are going to go on with the new tires.
