Some Trans Am GTA wheels I got off a board members brother a couple weeks ago. Polished them up and painted the insides black, turned out pretty good for minimal work! They look good from 15-20 feet away, only one rim has some curb rash, not for show but part of my *project blackout* on the car, plus its the wheels I'm going to use to mount drag radials on :). Probably by next year. The TT2's are still going to be the main wheel for the car, I just had a hankering to black out the car, tinted the side markers and tailights, black wheels(kinda) and I got my windows tinted Friday at Blackout(35% on the doors and back 3 glasses).

Yea the logos stand out more now with these wheels but they ain't going anywhere....

To run IROC's or GTA's you need to run 4 *fronts* on a g-body, otherwise use spacers on the rear for the f-body rears. I am running 4 front IROCs on the LS.

What I have on the SS are 12" f-body rotors in front with b-body spindles in a brake upgrade, which pushes the whels out almost .5"....so using rears on the front and fronts on the rear actually works out perfectly :). The backspacing on my TT2's is 4.0 in rear and 4.75 in front on a 8" wide rim.
