Not bad though I really love my GTA wheels and wish someone would make them in a 17" or 18" one day.

Those are the worst wheels ever. Take them off and ship them to me so I can figure out what to do with them (like put them on my car). jk

Honestly I love them. I've wanted a set of 17" snowflakes on my car since Year One started selling them since they'er close to the GTAs but wheels are low on my list of priorities.

I think both look sweet. I'd put the snow flakes on, looks different.

If only the TA wheels were made larger. I say go with the 17's dude! I like that style and they look cool too. You can always change them around when you get bored. Go for it! We need pics when your done.

Wheels look great. Do the center caps from your original wheels fit the snowflakes?

Re: 17" snowflakes on mygta, need feedback
You know, I thought this rim would look good on a black GTA. The more and more I look at it, it just seems like it doesn't go well with the car to me. I like the gold crosslace wheels a lot better.

Did you ever get the full set mounted and on the car? I'm interested in seeing how well they fit on the front.

I've been wondering how that would look. That's wicked, how much clearance did you have with the 285 tire?
