TSW Thruxtons
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?

Re: TSW Thruxtons
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.

Sorry, there are currently no wheels in our database that fit the 1999 Pontiac Firebird - Rear Only
Generally, the 120mm bolt circle is provided on wheels for BMW's.

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.

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

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.
