Anyone got any? Looking for a set of stockers to replace the ghetto fab ones the previous owner installed.

Thanks. I called them last week and they basically tried to talk me out of buying the wheels. They said all the ones they have are old and have curb rash- they also said they would charge extra for the center caps- I said their website listed them as included at no extra charge. He said the website is wrong. Shady.

I'm surprised about them doing that cause I've gotten stuff from them and I've never had a problem with them or them saying something on the website isn't correct.

Here are a couple of other places you can try: High Performance Salvage, Inc.; 1stChevyParts.com says Chevy but they carry Firebird parts too, just use the parts catalog to find what you're looking for; Billy Graham's Camaro/Firebird, the phone number and address is: (205) 668-1169, 970 Highway 202, Calera, AL 35040 (website isn't coming up for me). You can also try local salvage/junk yards, local newpapers for anyone parting out a car or even eBay for them.

Thank you. It might have just been that they hired a knucklehead. Personally, I've hired two this year myself laugh.gif

You're welcome. Yea like you said you could have just gotten a knucklehead (every business has at least one of those laugh.gif ) or you could have gotten a newbie who didn't know any better either.

I think TA creations is shady as well. I have dealt with them before a few times on their site and Ebay. Always the highest priced as well. I will never deal with them again.

Just got a set off Ebay for 77 bucks. I think this is the style mine came with- not sure if I can find this out by checking my VIN. At any rate, these are the wheels I'd have chosen had I ordered the car. They look to be in very nice condition:

I have a set of stock wheels off of a 1978 Formula that I'm parting out. If interested, send a message to redd.68@hotmail.com and I will get you some pictures.
SassySue09
He found a set already Reddbird68 but I'm sure he's happy for you offer. But he's got a 4th gen car and the stock set off your 78 Formula wouldn't fit due to size and backspacing differences.
