In the Movies
If you are anything like me you get excited when you spot a 2nd generation Firebird in a movie. I don’t know why, because they usually all get destroyed. Then again it’s probably because they are AWESOME! Anyhow, I decided to put together a list of movies that feature or starr our beloved firebirds. I’ll include a short description of the film or firebird role in the movie along with a rating.

TAC 4kids
A couple years back I was thumbing thru a book with a lot of black and white renderings of Firebirds and Trans Ams. I thought it would be cool for kids and adults alike to be able to color them. No more boring coloring books for me!
Year One 17″ Snowflake Wheels
YearOne continues to expand on its line of updated classic muscle car wheels, this time turning attention to an iconic Pontiac offering. The original “Snowflake” wheel was offered in 15” diameters for 1977-81 Firebirds and Trans Ams. There were two designs of the snowflake with the biggest difference being the width. The earlier design had a 7″ width, while the second design featured an 8″ width. The 8″ width proved to be very popular and continues to be a favorite among Firebird and Trans Am enthusiasts. Back in the day that extra inch was a huge advantage in terms of looks and the ability to run a larger tire for performance. By todays standards a wheel greater then 15″ is needed, but you would have to lose that classic look.
YearOne solves these problems by introducing their new cast-aluminum Snowflake wheel in modern 17”x9” sizing. The wheels feature three accent color choices of silver, black and gold. Each color is powder-coated for durability, and have 4.7/8” backspacing to ensure a proper fit on 1970-81-vintage F-bodies. The wheels accept the original center caps, and use standard conical-seat lug nuts.

Year One 17″ Honeycomb Wheels
YearOne continues to expand on its line of updated classic muscle car wheels, this time turning attention to an iconic Pontiac offering. The original “Honeycomb” wheel was offered in 14” diameters for 1971-72 GTOs and 15” diameters for 1971-76 Firebirds and Trans Ams. Another unique aspect of the Honeycomb is the fact that it was a “polycast” wheel, meaning a steel core was covered with a heavy rubber outer layer. Innovative, to be sure, but unfortunately the end result is rather heavy.
YearOne solves all these problems by introducing their new cast-aluminum Honeycomb wheel in modern 17”x9” sizing. The wheels feature silver powder-coated centers for durability, and have 5” backspacing to ensure a proper fit on 1968-72 era Pontiac A-bodies and 1970-81-vintage F-bodies. The wheels accept the original Honeycomb center caps, and use standard conical-seat lug nuts.
