Did you look at the "stickies" at the top of the forum topic listing page? And, look in the FAQ to find the link to Brent Franker's "Appearance" page with picture of hundred of car/wheel combos.

I am a huge fan of the 96-00 WS6 rim, I got a set of chromed rims for my 96 TA. They shine better than the stock polished aluminum ones. I bought them from here: http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com They have some other pretty cool rims there too, Z06 rims in black with a polished lip for example. Check it out

Blackbird... what h/c are you running? You should sign up on mfba.org for the more local car scene. There's a couple Formula WS6's there...

I've got a set of GTP STG2 Heads from thunderracing and a GM Hotcam. I think i might be a part of the MFBA just really havn't surfed the forum. Is there good info on there?

Thanks a lot. I've been at it for a long time and it never ends does it? lol. I'm pretty sure appearance wise I'm done but now want to get to a few mechanical issues i.e. better brakes (maybe ls1 conversion) & 12-bolt rear.

Only thing I want to do is VHT the rear side markers and maybe get those stainless Trans Am pieces for the doors.

Here are gunmetal ZR1's. But i don't think they would look very good on a black car.

I hope you guys don't mind but I saved most of the pictures and have them on a slideshow for my background on my computer!!!! All those cars are smokin!

BlackBird97 - I have some 17x9 Chrome Firehawks that came off an original 01 Firehawk for sale if you are interested. I absolutely love these rims on any type of bird and I know they look great on a black bird. I switched to some Torque Thrust M's that are 17x9 front and 17x11 rear with a black painted center and polished lip.
