Lookie at what I got for $100
I love craigslist.. Found a guy here in my city that was selling some silver 98 Firebird rims. I'm sick of my polished c5's, so I'm looking to going back to stock. But I refuse to go back to my salad shooters that I attempted to paint black while I was drunk one night. So, I scored these for only $100, and they included all the lug nuts w/ caps and all the original locks with 2 keys.
Of course I'm now going to have to grind down my rear hub, or the hole on the back rims (whichever I decide will be easier), since for some reason GM decided to make the 93-97's hubs larger than the 98-02's. But I love em, especially since I got 3 good tires left on my older rims (gotta love the 1-wheel wonder burnouts). Yeah, they got some curb rash, but for the price, I'm not complaining.

Re: Lookie at what I got for $100
No idea yet 
Can't decide whether to keep em or not. I've got some Nitto NT 555 street radials on the back 18's (they're staggered 17/18) that I got for a damn good deal. So I'm a little hesitant on getting rid of em. I'm thinking of keeping em for my "show" rims.. as if I ever had time to go to and car meets/shows lol.

Well if you're serious, then I'll keep you in mind. I'll most likely end up selling them. Just not sure if I'm going to separate the tires from the rims yet.

Ah gotcha.. Please excuse the slow activity going on inside my brain. It takes a while for it to catch on to things.
