89 Formula Rims

does anyone know where to get 89 Formula rims? I have those stupid ugly charcoal GTA Rims on my Red and Black 86 TA and I think that if i got the Formula rims chrome plated it would look very sharp.. well, it would be a cheap way to make my car look better Any suggestions where to find em?

I will sell you mine. Numbers talk. Let me know.

I will put up a pic later, but they look just like Redbird's.

Lay out the numbers.. Oh yah for the previous comments I want the formula rims because

#1) NOTHING on my car is Charcoal Gray
#2) Theres actually stuff to shine on the formula rims
#3) They look better than GTA rims and are the cheapest upgrade because i dont have to buy new tires

I was thinking it kinda depends on how much he wants for the formula rims.. All my rims are in perfect condition with all caps and center caps except 1 rim which has rub on 1 rim from a curb. I'll get some pictures up as soon as i can .. My cars in the shop as it is so i have to drive for a bit to go take em

I think t/a creations has them for about 50 bucks a rim. I'm not positive though. Check em out.

They may even work a trade with you. GTA rims are far more popular than the formula rims.

Well if your deal doesn't work out I'd trade my Formula rims for your rims or I'd sell mine to you for $200.
