I need rims for my Firebird

I have an 89 and the rims are messed up. They are all beat up and I am restoring the car so I want a new look. I wouldn't mind getting 15" rims again since they are cheaper and I can still use my tires. I actually like the stock camaro rims and have been looking for a nice set. So I like 5 spoke rims and want to stay well below $500 if possible. Used is fine, and I don't want chrome. Can anyone help me find some places to look besides junk yards?

I have a really nice set of factory wheels that were on my 96 camaro. Not sure if thats what your looking for. $100 bux plus S&H and they are all yours. Heres a pic of what they look like so you know which ones I'm talkin about.



Email me at Lrust@sbcglobal.com if you are interested and we can work somethin out.

try the back of auto trader in the "MISC." section and the classifieds in you news paper.

Do you not want aftermarket wheels at all?

4th gen rims won't fit, will they?

I am willing to get aftermarket rims if they look good and aren't $200 a rim.

Those rims on ebay are really dirty and I want more of a polished look.

Look at the 077 on this site they are cheaper than most wheels and don't look too bad for the money

I'll pass on those. Not only do they not fit my car, but they are definately not what I am looking for. Those spokes are way too thin. Thanks for the link though, my friend is looking at those rims/

I have a set of 16x9'' 3-piece forged, chrome, CSI rims. I bought my 91 Trans Am with these wheels, but I switched them out because they were little too wide for me. They sit even/flush with the lip of the wheel wells, slightly wider than stock.

pics: 1)rim, 2)my car, 3)photochop on camaro.
I'm looking for $250-300 for the set. negotiable.

let me know bpaik@ucla.edu

I believe the 4th gen wheels will fit as long as your tires are 16r.

I think the stock camaro rims are the best looking ones so far.
