17in or 18in GTA wheels. Do these exist?
I have seen 17x8 and 18x8 Iroc wheels. I was just wondering if anybody makes any GTA wheels in these sizes. If not I will just buy a set of Ronals, but I like the look of the GTA wheels on my GTA

Hey Buddy,
Unfortunately, they don't make those wheels....yeah, I would have bought the TA rims also. I have the 18' IROC's on my car. You may want to check this site though. THese are Simmon's wheels. Look at the "OM" series. Those are sick *** rims that most closely resemble the TA rims. You can also order them in deep dish! I may also get these one day.
Good luck.

Seems like the birds are always gettin overlooked in the aftermarket world... same with the GTA emblems too. Maybe some day somebody will step up to bat and give them a shot.

There's a guy on the posts who has 17" aftermarket Epsilon black cross-laced wheels from a Corvette on his Formula. They looked great on his car, and they look very similar to the GTA wheels. I have the 16" on mine, and they look great.

Thanx for the replies. I wiillcheck out the wheels you mentioned and see how similar they are to the orginals.
88 WS6 TransAm GTA
I agree with you completely, especially about the emblems. If you want a replacement it is going to cost you a fortune. I thought manufacturers where required to make parts for all their vehicles for 10 years after? If so that means this past year we should have been able to buy emblems for a 92 GTA (02, 10 years), but as we all know they have been discontinued for almost a year

Hi Tom
Thanx for the link
Those are pretty nice, but they look similar to the BBS's and I still like the GTA ones better. The spokes on those others look to small with that lugnut cover.

Yeah I understand what you mean. But, I think they are the only rims that come anywhere close to a GTA 'style' wheel in 17".
Would be interesting to see what it looks like with the hubcap off........
