New rim pics!

[whiteshark]

I went from these...



to these!



I actually kinda like em :D but they do say chevrolet and camaro, so I took them back off. They'll go back on for auto-x. [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

That actually looks pretty slick bro...I don't know, but do they make chrome salad shooters? That'll prob. set it off more...

haha, the camaro centercaps were the best part of your car brian [img]tongue.gif[/img] but really, they actually look better on your car than i thought they would. tell ya what, come back to stl and give me your other firebird wheels. ill give you my salad shooters. then youll have 2 sets, one for autox and one for everyday :D

I have seen chrome salad shooters, they look really good imho. These wheels aren't really for looks though, just racing [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Coo' man I could respect that...I think it does fit a white firebird better..can't picture them on my ride for some reason ...

They are on backwards. The rim is supposed to rotate in the other direction =)

Not that it really matters, hehe :D

haha, what are you talking about???

maybe youre seeing something im not

edit: after making my head hurt over this i have come to the conclusion that the rim faces different directions depending on which side of the car youre looking at. think about it....

note these two pictures taken the same day...



here from the left side of the car the front of the spokes seem to point downward




this is from the right side. htey point upward in the front of the wheel.

(pardon the dirt in the wheel well :D )

Yeah Larry is right, they do look like they're on backwards, but they're not. I thought the exact same thing when I first put them on, but after a bit of thinking I realized it had to be right. All 4 wheels are angled the exact same so they have to look different on both sides, I wonder how many people have actually realized that. I know Loochy didn't :D

I originally had salad shooters but got the 97 5 spoke chrome wheels... I hated the fact that the salad shooters when opossite ways on both sides of the car.

subarus are the only cars i have ever seen that have the wheels going the same way. yeah I was stumped for a while too.

[Deoxyribonucleicvitriol]

Excuse my ignorance but what are salad shooters... another name for spinners?

[Brett Garret]

No, see how the rims look like the bottom of a 'salad shooter', the kitchen device used for cutting up random vegetables and foliage. Salad Shooter

[KBeezy]

Subarus? Uhm, C4 vette rims are directional. And yes, thats the term, directional ;)
