16x10 REAL 3-piece rims

Sold.

16x10" REAL Racing Rims

I have a set of 16x10 REAL racing rims I want to sell. they are VERY light and in good condition.
I believe 7.125" backspacing from memory, but I can remeasure. They fit on a 4th gen no problemo. Can take more detailed pics if someone is genuinly interested. I was saving these for a fun build etc but they haven't been used in quite some time.
$600 FIRM + shipping. I take paypal & cashiers check. Or will hold for personal check until it clears.

Rims will come w/ the used slicks unless you can convince me otherwise.

Can ship. however, would need to purchase boxes as I have none to fit on hand.

16"x12" REAL Rims 5x4.75"

Looking to sell a set of 16"x12" REAL Racing Rims.
These have 5x4.75" bolt pattern with 7 7/8" backspacing (as measured to edge of lip).
I picked these up for my car but have never even used them, I was told these are sized for 4th gen F-bodies. I had ideas of running CP w/ my CMC car.
I mounted one up today to see how they fit. See pictures above.
Note: I used a 1/2" spacer when mounting on the front. It appears to be about 3/16"-1/4" space between the lip edge and the spindle... with the 1/2" spacer. I slid a scrap of 3/16" stock between the wheel & spacer and it cleared.
At full lock the corners of the tires rub the fender liner, no suprise. It also appears the tie rod *may* rub the inside lip shoulder at full lock. You may be able to see the gouging on this inside lip, which was incurred prior to my ownership. I'm supposing from tie rod rub. I have a bump stop kit on so the rod end is beefier and dropped down an additional 3/4". close ups did not turn out well with my camera. Although it is ugly, I do not believe this compromises the strength/function of this wheel.
Wheels have totally dead 25.0x12.0x16 Hoosier R45s mounted. Also the bolts were loosened on one of the wheels (three piece) so one or all of the wheels may need to be disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled.
Wheel/tire combo felt about 2-5lbs lighter than my bald RA1 255/16 salad shooter combo.
tires can be dismounted & tossed before shipping

I'm looking for $450 plus shipping for the set.

Let me know. don't bother w/ a PM, email only.

Firehawk Hood,SLP or other?

From my recollection an SLP firehawk hood is legal in CMC.
Can anyone tell me how to verify if that style of hood is an actual factory (SLP?) piece or some knockoff?
There is one locally that I've looked at. I'm fairly certain is a cheapo but I want to be certain before I pass on it.
obviously I would NOT be using the ram-air function

Certifit.com Body Parts

I didn't want to clutter up Randy's rebuild post so I started this one
from Mitch:



So Mitch, Glen or anyone, have you seen these parts in person? Do they weigh the same (or less!) than OEM? Is the fit and finish sufficient for a track car?
The prices for camaro parts are unbelievable, of course the firebird pieces are 1.5 to 2x the cost as the chevrolet. :0
... and they don't have bumper covers or head light covers for the 4th gen bird grrrrrr
