Wheels

[Josepy]

I am taking Ideas for new wheels on my TA. Willing to spend about a grand. I want these bad but holy crap are they pricey. http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/fbshopmain2.asp?cat=G click on the year one billet aluminum wheels

I am looking at getting these though. http://customwheelsales.com/catalog_details.php?ProdID=97


Any other ideas are welcome.

Personally i would look at some sort of a mesh stlyed wheel personally, i think a nice gunmetal or black Mesh wheel with a big fat chrome lip on it being all staggered would look sick on your T/A i'll see if i can find any pics.

I like the second ones, the first link just sends me to a random new products page. Post a pic of the first ones please.

Those look pretty cool, do you have pics on a car?

[HP ADDICT]

I like the second ones also. I think they would look great on my car.

no i do not trying to find some.

[Nix]

why dont you post up a decent sized pic of your car and a pic of the said wheels you want and ask someone to please photoshop them on your car?

I think that would give you a great idea if you really like them or not.

[Flicktitty]

i know these are kind of "played out" but these look good IMO

Don't know why but like many of the newer generation Corvette wheels on something like what you have, especially the Zo6 wheels.....

You just need to find someone with wayyyy to much money that just bought a brand new Corvette and wants some different wheels just because he/she doesn't like the stock ones. You can really find some good deal if you look hard enough.....

yes i like the new zo6 wheels also. I can get a good deal on those through some people I know. I might go with those. Not sure yet. I have about a month to decide.

I don't think the Ruff Racing 280's is a good choice. Only 1 black Trans Am is allowed to have them in the Milwaukee area at a time.

lol i am still leaning towards the ruff the offest though is 5x120 will that work on my TA?

[Karps TA]

they work....

You can get them thru Ebay alot cheaper. I paid under $1400 for mine with tires already mounted and balanced and shipped to me.

Too bad they are $1000 a piece, not for 4.

Foollw this thread, there are plenty of pics of the wheels that I currently have on my ta. They have other versions of this wheel as well.:)

I really like the RUff wheels. I planned on getting either a new set of Ruff's or getting mine fixed...havent totally decided yet.

[0TransAm0]

i like the ruff ones... if only they made the wider for the rear wheels..

[Josepy]

i think they make wider ones. the set i am going to get is the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 there wide enough and i can squeeze 285's and 295's on the rear. As much as i burn off tires i couldnt afford anything wider.

[Karps TA]

That's the same sizes I got which worked out perfect.

I think these look the best so far.. However, you can't go wrong w/ a nice slim 5-star rim.. I hate a fat, chunky 5-star like your stock ones.. Its slim or nothing IMO..

yeah im not a big fan of those. right now my car has TT2's on it. Just havent taken any good new pics.

I bought them thru ebay from US Rim Supply on an ad like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Corvette-Camaro-GTO-Ruff-Racing-280-Wheels-Rims_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43958QQihZ006QQite mZ160212320245QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Those exact specs. However I think I just called them up and bought them instead of running it thru EBAY. They were great to deal with.

[Josepy]

heck i might even splurge and go for the chrome

[Poncho]

Have you considered the Ruff 281's?
The 278's, 280's, and 281s are really popular with the GTO crowd. I had been considering for a while, a staggered set in 19x8.5/19x9.5 for post tax splurging.

Yeah ive looked at them all. I dont know what to do. Safest way would be chrome. But i like the black with the polished lip. I have a guy sending me some pics with them on a TA

[Flicktitty]

You were asking about the rims being wider. Can't you buy the "shells" of them that are wider then have the inside spokes put into the rim? I know a guy did that with some Watanabe wheels.

[Josepy]

I also like these as choices.

i like the black/silver C6 Z06 those would look good.

me 2. think im over the ruff wheels . I like the silver black better than the black silver.

[LIZMO]

what sizes do the Z06 wheels come in? Just the 19's like they do on Vettes? or since those are reps are they smaller?

[Josepy]

you can get any size you want i think. im looking into it

[Yooformula]

the lack of a lip on those wheels turn me off to em.

http://www.yearone.com/images/parts/b/bpw18182.jpgOMG i think those would look hot on my ride!!
IMO i like the rims you have on your car!!!
