New Owner, Wheel Selection Question...

Post by supastar2112 » Tue Feb 16, 2016 9:21 pm

I'm a new owner of a 96 Firehawk. I would love your opinion on what wheels I should stick with. I have the stock 5 stars on it right now, but I also have a set of Z06 gun metal that looks much better. Do you think it would be a sin to take off the OEM's?

I agree also & I will be keeping both but just can't decide.

I will say this, the vette rims are "a dime a dozen" .... Firehawk specific rims, not so much

The Hawk wheels would look killer on your car if you get them chromed. I agree that Vette wheels are everywhere.

I think you should decide which ones you want and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

Thanks guys, I threw the Z06 wheels on. I may send out the wheels to get chromed if they don't sell.

Welcome. Nice to see a 1996 on the road. Love the Formula + Trans AM spoiler look.

Just noticed the dart board in the 1st pic. Got a bristle board in my garage, as well.
