!!Let's see those Firebirds!!

[Josue]

Thanks!



No prices though, unless I missed them? I can imagine they're a pretty penny! I love the bandit honeycomb's from year one, but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on $3,000 for wheels and tires, when there's so much other stuff I could do with that money! haha

Definitely not a cheap date. $508 each through Summit, not cheap, but not Forgeline price either.

True story!

I can't decide if I like these more, or the open style that shows more of the rotor/caliper.

I certainly like the price of these more. haha

Thanks...they are Circle Racing wheels. Dale from Schwartz Performance set me up.

Those are the US Mags version. They have them in the cast, which is on that link, or the forged set as well. I'll be getting a cast set temporarily until I minitub/4 link the rear of my car.

They were not cheap but are a billet wheel. I was surprised at how light they were. They do cover my Wilwood brakes, but the look is cleaner. I have gotten quite a few people coming up to me asking me about the wheels.

These were my other choice, but were quite a bit more expensive:

Exactly. I'll likely score cast for now for the cost savings, then upgrade to my dream wheel later or something.

Those are nice as hell too! I never knew all these OEM style options were available. What was the cost of these?

That's my plan, run the cast ones for awhile while I'm improving my driving skills, and get more noticed. Probably my only chance at getting some kind of discount on dream forged wheels down the line, or that might still be a pipe dream, haha.

And the link that cpd posted is the forged version of the US Mags wheel I posted. I'll be running the cast wheels as a temp set since I talked with a rep at the Goodguys Del Mar show, and I can get a set for under $600 directly through them.

[cpd004]

If I remember correctly, they were close to $1000 per wheel. I liked the look of a modern factory wheel as it seems to not draw your eye right to the wheel.

I have never been a fan of the US Mag Bandit wheel. Maybe it's the open design, but not quite sure. On the other hand, I think their Trans Am wheel is perfect. I've never seen one on any car though.

Very Nice! Can you share your tire and wheel specs?

[Dogman691]

I figure I would put a couple of mine up. This is when I picked it up in March bringing it home and when we put it in the garage. It's a 1975 Trans am with a 70-73 front end, 4 spd, posi, 4 wheel disc brakes, and runs great. I got it really cheap and very solid. It was just what I was looking for. I've already started the upgrades and hope to have it in paint before the end of summer. I've already done detroit speed leaf springs and coils on it.

I've been wanting to add to this thread for a while now and have been too lazy. These are from the 2015 Fall Good Guys last weekend and are from a cell phone so the quality is not the best... I do like to see the action shots of people out enjoying their cars !





And one from the TX optima Event

Wow, that is one COOL 73 Bird!!
