I saw these wheels in person last night, and I fell in love with them. They do make them for our cars. They come in 18X9.5 Does anyone have any pics of them on an F-body? I talked to a shop, and I am going to have them powder coated black.
Also, I'm debating weather or not to stagger them. The shop says they can do 18x8 in the front, and 18x9.5 in the rear. Will an 18 inch wheel look ok on an f-body without lowering it?

they look great on the 06 Goats. My friend is going with those wheels on his. I would check the offset for our cars though. Last time I called I think they weren't the right offset or something, but I may be wrong.
dont think they have them in our bolt patterns

Welllll..... not exactly. The TSW website lists those wheels with a 120mm bolt circle. Not exactly 120.65mm. You could bolt them on... but whether you should or not is open to debate.
When you put "1999 Pontiac" in the TSW search, it pops up with "Firebird (rear only)", and when you enter that one, you get the message:
Sorry, there are currently no wheels in our database that fit the 1999 Pontiac Firebird - Rear Only
They also offer choices of "Firebird" and "Corvette (front)" which pops up several wheels with the (incorrect) 120mm bolt pattern. And, they offer "Corvette (rear)", which get you the "no wheels in our database" statement.
Generally, the 120mm bolt circle is provided on wheels for BMW's.

Interesting.
When I put in 1996 Pontiac, the Thruxtons DO come up. I'll keep that in mind though. Hope they fit.

As Injuneer previously stated, that would be your call. Although the tolerances are very miniscule, the tremendous pressure caused by this small difference can mean broken lugs or loosening lug nuts over time.
Although there have been many others who have done this with no problems, some have had the misfortune of having these problems occur. If you do decide to put the 120mm wheels on your F-Body, I would recommend installing hub-centric rings.
