I have a firebird and need some help deciding which way to go with wheels. I'm considering rally II's (love the looks of them but they are too small to put "good" brakes on the car), Gun Metal Coys C55, and the infamous Torque Thrust 2's. So...this is where I need your help. What do you guys think?

Here is a picture of what my finished car should look like with rally 2 (on bottom) and Coys (on top). I didn't do the TT2's cause I figured everyone and there brother knows what they look like.....

By the way this isn't my car. I just found a pic on ebay and did a mediocre Microsoft paint "photoshop".

Thanks -Tyler :smoke:

They make the Rally 2 up to 18" diameter. http://www.petepaulsen.com/Catalogofwheels/93%20Billet%20Pontiac%20Rallye%20II.htm
How big of brakes are you getting?!

Not huge brakes! I can't afford the awesome ones! I just know that the 14 inch rally II's I have won't fit the wilwood kit I want. 16 or 17 inch wheels should work just fine though. Thanks!

I have been considering the Coys C5 in gunmetal, but I've been told that the backspacing that they offer is not Firebird friendly if you have the stock Pontiac rear because it is slightly wider than the Camaro. I was looking at 18x8 with 4.5 bs up front and 18x9.5 with 5.5 bs out back, but can't get anyone to confirm if those will fit.

Let me know what you find.
