I was on my way home from work tonight and I stopped off at Frys to get something to eat. As i'm locking the door a kid passes by in a beat up 1990 Nissan 240sx and offered to straight up trade me his car for mine. I just smiled and let him drive off, but he said it again and I just said thanks. I just thought it was funny. I think it's the blacked out GTA wheels on red that makes it stand out even more. I went to Taco Bell a few weeks back and two kids were near by and saw it and thought I wasn't within ear shot, but I was, and I heard them say "Who puts GOLD wheels on a RED car??" Ever since I started looking at them differently. I know it's blasphemic to alter a GTA, but the GOLD had to go imho. I've owned a Black TA with Black GTAs and Black TA with Charcoal GTAs and to be honest, they look alot better than the GOLD GTAs. So I did it. This isn't my car, but it looks exactly like it minus the painted door handles.

Black Wheels + GTA = Hotness.

Why do people offer to trade you there pile of ****? I have had like 2 or 3 people say that to me. First question, "Is that the LS1?" Yes. "Dude I would trade you straight up my car for yours." I bet you would trade your pile of **** mid 90s honda accord for my LS1 Trans am. Get a ****ing clue retard.

same thing here, granted my car isnt the prettiest thing on the outside, but the interior is clean and most people either see me hauling *** around with it or just want it lol ive had 3 people come into my work and ask "whos camaro?" after i claim it they either A. offer me a trade or B. offer to buy it off me, everytime i just laugh and turn them down i just tell them its the car i bought in high school and im never lettin it go, just this week its happened twice

Kevin,

Too bad you didn't have like a little Hot Wheels TA. You could've traded him straight up for that.

Very nice..mines white with black GTA wheels....love the red though

Got any pics of itw ith the gold wheels? Im thinking of painting some wheels im working on a gold color on my car. I think the chrome lip might make it a bit weird, though. I saw a red 91-92 Z/28 clone with gold crosslace wheels and I thought it looked amazing though IMO. Very unique.

People have been putting gold wheels on red cars for a long, long time btw...





Matter of taste, but it looks good either way! I bet more people will jive with the black than the gold, though. People just arent used to seeing that.

Are gta wheels powdercoated or painted? When I removed the crusty clear coat of the dish, overspray got on the gold and it didn't seem to do anything. I'm hoping they are powdercoated, because I would like to go back to gold one day.
