My new wheels for my 88 GTA

Here are some pics of the wheels I got today for my GTA. They are 18 x 8 Showwheels Streeters, it is an Aussie company and atm they are not exporting, so mine is the only Third-gen in the world with these wheels atm (there is a 4th gen T/A, but they don't count, do they )

Re: My new wheels for my 88 GTA

Yeah they do look at lot like TTIIs, just with a smoother rim and longer spokes. Heaps more brake clearance too, plenty of room for the C5 setup I have planned. They cost me $1400 plus tyres, but shits pretty expensive over here, so that was a good price, I would have payed the same for TTIIs.
