Re: I`m from sweden this is my gta -89

Very clean car. I like the rims too, a lil big but one of the styles i considered for my car. Whats the deal with your seat belts, why are they different? Does europe require a different style?

Re: I`m from sweden this is my gta -89

The seatbelt has always looked like that, they look like that here. How do yours look?

About the rims they are 8,5" wide and i run 255mm wide tires both front and rear. Don´t really know much about them i just orderd them to fit a trans am 89 from the company.
I paid here in sweden for both tires and rims balaced and mounted 2939$

This is a link to coy`s from the company here i sweden that imported them

It's the original wheel. That's the steering wheel they put on GTA's with a factory CD player.

It is lowerd about 1,5 inches as it is now i have had it lower before but then i got problem with the tires hitting the back of the wheelarch towards the door when i turned and that is not an option. This is 20" wheels you can`t lower it more an have a driveble car. I hade a GTA a couples of years ago with 17" cragar ss wheels and that car was much lower but there it was not a problem
with the tires hitting the fender because of the small wheels.

Re: I`m from sweden this is my gta -89

NICE!!! I think the rim size actually looks just right, IMHO.

Man, shipping stuff like hoods and spoilers from the USA to Sweden must cost a small fortune!

Yes it does but it`s cheaper to order and import by my self than trough a company here in sweden. I orderd injectors from summit instead of buying them here and saved 147$. The best way is to get it in a companys container when they order other stuff like rims or so.

Nope. Those are the GTA seats. The 4th gen seats of that style, were copied from the GTA seats, but the headrest is different.

Nice looking car....except for the wheels. Don't get me wrong, those are nice wheels. I'm just a BIG fan of the GTA crosslace wheels.

Amber turn signals are required in Europe. The T/A lenses are all red.

I see, just piggyback the shipments to save money. Good idea!
