Default GTA wheels on my Firehawk

Only had my buddy's camera phone at work, so they're not the best, but what do ya guys think?

PS - wish they were 17x9.5s

Do they stick out of the fender wells in the front? if so I wouldnt use them. I had to use a Formula WS6 wheel from a Formula 350 for a spare once, Didnt like the back spacing at all.

I've got mixed feelings, for some reason the first thing that popped in my head was knightrider. I think it's kinda cool but it would only look good on a black, white, or red car.

I'm partial to the stock wheels. I think Firehawks have the best stockers hands down!

I like them.
To bad they aren't 17x9 though.
Do they actually fit or is the backspacing a bit off?

Sorry, but IMO they don't look good.

What might look good, and would be something I've never seen on a 4th gen is the Ronal R-15 wheel. This is the wheel that was offered on the 3rd gen Firehawk cars, and it comes in a 17x9.5 size.

Here is a pic of the wheel on my buddy's car (RPM Mark). Being that your car is black though, I'd get the inlays painted in black to match:

the backspacing has to be off there used to be a girl in my school way back when that had 92 rs wheels on her 4th gen camaro and the wheels definiely stuck out of the fenders lose those wheels they are meant for a 3rd gen notice how third gens need to buy a spacer to fit 4th gens

Oh, oh man. That's really, really bad. Funny, I just saw a black WS6 with IROC wheels on it today, and now this. Both are the first time I have seen 3rd gen wheels on 4th gen, and I hated both times!

Love the stock FH rims, though! Put 'em back on!
