Re: 18" GTA Crosslace Wheels

You could look at some BMW or BBS wheels might be able to find something similar

Re: 18" GTA Crosslace Wheels

If you here on TGO, you'll find threads on this...Including one tha Oasis was willing to build some, but there wasn't enough interest.

Or rather...They wanted $ up front, from like 20 people, with not even a pic of what they were going to do. Just the description of "bigger" which wasn't even clarified to be 18"/19"20".....or what.

Re: 18" GTA Crosslace Wheels

shr00m has a set of, I believe, Epsilon brand wheels on his trans am 'vert that he had painted in the correct gold color of the GTA crosslace wheels. They don't have the dish that standard crosslace wheels have but they are in 17". I believe they were originally for c4 vettes.

Search.

Re: 18" GTA Crosslace Wheels

Almost a year ago I asked this question. Seems like nothing much has changed. Which of these look the best to you all. I have been slowly ( and I really mean slow) getting my car presentable but the final touch will be wheels. I love the way the stock wheels look but I hate they are 16" wheels.

By March I will have to make a move so which of these look best to you all. I guess by the prices of the 18" Year One wheels I could have a set made couldnt I?

From right to left you have Year One, Kevin Morgan, and Gearhead Performance Group. Gearhead Performance has the closest looking wheels for the stock look but I cant find them in nothing but artist renderings not on a real car.

Heres a link here to (because I cant copy the photo) the 2010 T/A by Kevin Morgan, click link on their site to see a closeup of his wheels.

http://www.transamdepot.com/phoenix-trans-am.cfm

I really dont see anything else out there even close to what I would like to at least keep it close to stock.

Re: 18" GTA Crosslace Wheels

back in the day tons of companies made mesh rims (riken, epsilon, ssr, work, appliance, etc). Probably the most popular is the BBS RS.
ARE made a nice 3pc called "398", similar to the RS. HRE also made a few mesh designs. Their "501" was a popular 3pc wheel.
You can take a 15 or 16" 3pc, and rebuild it with bigger hoops and deeper offsets. I've seen quite a few sets of vintage wheels, rebuilt bigger. The RS's are probably the best wheels to rebuild, considering the popular hoop bolt pattern, and the availability of all of its accessories.

Re: 18" GTA Crosslace Wheels

These are what are on a friend's. You have to have a keen eye to notice they're not stock. They are 17's
This is the guy iansane was referring to
