[img]graemlins/toto.gif[/img] he's comeing to move this to apperance....
Well, the T/A rims are 17x9, so anything that size or bigger will look good, not sure how wide of a rim you can fit on our cars, i've heard of 11" but it sticks out a little, i think 17x9 would be good. What size do you have? Im not familer with the 94 zizes, but if its 16x8, just get some 245/50R 16s put on and they'll look real wide.
I just got some new 50ZR tires put on and they look GREAT! I've gotten so many complements on them, if you want I can take a pic tomorrow in the day light, I've been wanting to post a pic of them, let me know if you wanna see them, they look real wide to me.

17x11 Polished American Racing Torq Thrust II's
I think they are ONE of the best looking rims on the market (and they dont cost and arm and a leg either).
Hey....maybe you can be "Bling Bling" and get Lexani rims LOL!!! Oooo I'd puke.

Whatever you do, get CHROME! 17x9.5 is what I got it looks good. I think you have to have 17x11's made custom so custom=Big $$$ or ghetto rigged. Talking a bout ghetto, make sure you pick a nice rim in good taste. I say this sincerely because I have seen a lot of nice looking F-bodies with some horribly FUGLY rims which hurts to look at and the worst part is they paid lots of money to make the car look bad. Also, go ahead and paint the calipers! It makes the rim stand out and it looks awsome. It can be tedious but if you take your time it will be worth your while. ;)<b>Red 1999 Firebird M5</b><br />Whisper Lid,Borla Catback,K&N,Dual Friction Center Force Clutch,Hurst Shifter w/Lou\'s Short Stick,!FRA,Suncoast Ramair hood,160 Thermo,!maf,Chrome ZO6 Wheels, Painted Calipers, CIA Headers, Taylor Wires, NGK Spark Plugs, 3\" Catco, Jet Chip Stage II, BMR STB, LCA, PHR, SFC, Fan Switch, FTRA<br /><b>Old Dyno Numbers: 183 RWHP, 217 RWTRQ</b><br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/redsixer\" target=\"_blank\">http://community.webshots.com/user/redsixer</a>

I have 17x9.5" Torq Thrusters and they have a great finish to them. They're polished but easy to maintain because they're clear coated. I've had them for over a year now but I'd like to trade them for some 17x9 chrome C5 rims or 18" 077's maaaaaaybe this summer... not too high of a priority cause I like my wheels :D1994 Camaro 3.4L M5 R.I.P.<br />You know what they say- a small engine means big... errr... e/t\'s<br /><a href=\"http://www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident\" target=\"_blank\">www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident</a><p>replaced with: red 97 A4 vert (my brothers as soon as i find my REAL replacement)<p>soon to come: 1969 RS/SS<p>\"All you need are the esentials: scented candles, massage oil, and Berry White write that down.\" -Van Wilder

Predator, man dont get those rims....im sorry but those have to be the ugliest rims i have ever seen man, they must be really cheap, why dont you just get eagle alloy o77's if you want to go cheap, but if you want a killer looking rim get what i have Mille Miglia Emotion II Plus' they are silver and have a machined lip. They kind of look like they zo6 rims but they curve inwards a little towards the outer rim. I have 17x8's, they cost me 300 each but thats canadian, they are only 194.00 each in the states. Check them out at www.tiretrends.com when you go there click on the us flag (top right) for us currency then click on wheels and and couple of brand names will come up, then go to Mille Miglia and click on the Emotion II Plus, if you want to see them on my car, i will have pics up here by wednesday next week. So look for me. :D99 Firebird Vert, Pewter Metalic<br />Fast Toys Ram Air<br />Jet Stage 2 Chip<br />17x8 Mille Miglia Emotion II Plus\'<br />wrapped in 245/35/17 Yokohama A520<br />Rhino Perf.

I did, but the pics came out completly white three times in a row even when I was further away from the car, I might try a night shot with the flash, i bet that'll work.Then: 1997 3.8L Red Firebird~SOLD!~<p>Now: 2002 Atlantic Blue Dodge Ram 1500
