Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients this 1987-1992 Pontiac Firebird 18x10 R15 Firehawk Style Wheel Individual Big Brake Capable Hawks Reproduction HM1810R15-I. This 18x10 reproduction wheel brings the aggressive R15 Firehawk appearance to third-generation F-body builds while providing a modern wheel size for wider performance tires and larger brake packages. The wheel features a 5 x 4.75-inch bolt pattern, silver-painted inner finish and machined face.
This is the kind of wheel that makes a third-gen look like it means business. The R15 Firehawk styling is unmistakable, and stepping up to an 18x10 puts a serious footprint under the car without losing that period-inspired F-body attitude. Get the rubber mounted, fill those wheel wells, and let that Firebird look the part. Whether you're building a Firehawk-inspired street car, a nasty Trans Am, or an aggressive third-gen project, this is where things get interesting.
The R15 design is inspired by the legendary 1992 SLP Firehawk wheel, originally developed around a 17x9 configuration and reproduced here in a modern 18x10 size. Hawks documents the wheel as capable of clearing larger brake setups and specifically reports test-fitting it with a 14-inch Baer Pro Plus brake package.
