New Shoes
Its time that the Trans Am needs some new shoes with rubber.
I was hoping you guys could help me out, I want to see a general consensus of what you like and dont like.
Quote:
Sale Price: $690.00
Save: $109.95
These are direct bolt on's and require no adapters.
Details:
These 17 x 8" ZR-1-style wheels were specifically designed to fit 1982-1992 Camaro, IROC-Z, Z28, RS, Firebird, Trans Am, Formula and GTA without spacers or other modifications. They're available in classic SILVER ONLY and come complete with matching center caps.
NOTES: Not compatible with SLP chrome or silver lugs. Use Lugnut Package (Part #82552).
These wheels also fit 1973-1988 G-Bodies, 1966-1972 A-Bodies, 1968-1982 Corvettes, and late-model "S" Trucks (2WD only).

And Free Shipping...
If so should I get them with the tires mounted? Or can I do better?
+$700 - 245/45 ZR17 BFG G-Force KDWS

I like em! They're simple (not too much bling) and classic. Plus I'm pretty partial to most 5-star setup rims. Definite upgrade!

The firehawk wheels are coming back into production and will be available in 17" sizes.
Whose car is that anyway? Looks just like mine.

I have those wheels on my '88 Monte SS. I bought one of the first sets, and paid full price for them (dammit). I did drive down to SLP and pick 'em up which saved me shipping.
You can do better than $700 for tires. The KDW's are only around $150 per tire or less. A friend of mine hooked me up with Continental ExtremeContacts for $115 each, and good tires like the Kumho 712s are in the low $110 range for a 245/45 17.
If you like those wheels and you have the cash, go for it!

nice wheels, but check on www.tirerack.com for better tire styles and prices. stay away from goodyear, bfg, mickelan, basically all the huge name brands. half of their price is just for the name, the tires are really nuthin special.
i am a big fan of kuhmo's and yokohama's.
later

The firehawks are currently discontinued, and I think they look like crap on cars with the aero-kit. (GFX's)

Through Tire-Rack I was able to find better tires for $100 bucks left then the BFG's and I can get them 245/45/17 in the front and 275/45/17 which I think would look pretty bad ass.
