Re: trans am wheels

i like the zr1's that are sold on ebay. 17x9.5's fronts and 17x11 rears. Or 17x9.5's all around if you wish. Come in chrome, black, silver, or sometimes you can find gunmetal gray.

Or if you are into Torq Thrust II's, look into TTM's. They don't cost much more than ZR1's and come in black or silver-ish. Biggest 17s you can get on those is 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear.

I'm talking about the widest "bang for the buck" 17 inch rims you can get. You can obviously spend more to get better looking rims or lighter rims.
