Picked up some new wheels for the TA

[Karps TA]

I needed something to change up the looks of the TA a little bit. So bought some 18" Ruff Racing 280s

wow! those look nice. very aggressive! Those and the 279's are on my short list of new wheels but in hyper black or chrome.

[hrsp]

wow those a very nice on that car!!!

[Karps TA]

Thanks

Yoo if you do I recommend US Rim Supply. They turned my order around pretty quick and were very reasonably priced. They advertise on Ebay alot.

I wished they made the 280 in a polished or satin finish. The chrome I felt was too bling blingy for the black. But the titanium color really matches my engine bay well.

Dude are those foose wheels !!
They are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet !

[MARO-MAN]

Damn nice!!! I haven't seen a cooler wheel on a third gen!! :drool:

[WickedSix]

goregeous :thumbsup love how the bolts sparkle against the outer part of the wheel

[Poncho]

looks great.

and to think a few years ago 18" was blasphemy on a third gen.

looks great. A funny comparison would be to show your car w/ a set of stock 14's or 15's bolted on, and then these.

[hrsp]

18's imo are the absolute biggest id go on a third gen...personally love 17..but those look tits

[Karps TA]

Yeah a couple years ago I would have been saying 18's were stupid big on a thirdgen as well. But I think this years World of Wheel made me rethink that stance. Seemed to me like everything has atleast 18's on them, and it made the 17's on my car look small.

Overall they really aren't that much bigger. I think it's actually under an inch with the tires.

[BAD LS1]

That car is CLEAN, kick ass brakes too!! The wheels look real good.

[Flicktitty]

Love the new wheels! Car looks great on them, and i agree i wouldn't go any bigger then 18's on a 3rd gen.

and great brakes too, i think that is one of the cleaner third gens i've seen!

[b4mytm]

Look real good Brandon!

[jbiscuit]

looks hot!

[Yooformula]

so true about big wheels these days. I remember when I bought my car that 17 seemed HUGE and now 18s or even 19s are becoming commonplace and actually look good.

[BadAzzGTA89]

Them look super hott on there i love the lip on them:drool:

[pickardracing]

I can dig it, sucka.

[loud91rs]

Love the wheels and the whole car...are those ls1 brakes? If you don't mind me askin what do you have on that car all around brake wise?

[Karps TA]

They're Baer brakes. 13" Track kit up front, 12" rear.

[loud91rs]

damn i'm jealous:drool:

[Karps TA]

damn i'm jealous:drool:

Don't be jealous. Get a Home Equity loan and you can have them too! New brakes AND a tax deduction :rolf

[loud91rs]

haha nice. i'm hoping my 85 turns out as nice as your car when it's finally done.
