Check out Diamond Racing's Road Racing wheels. They're Nascar-style Steel wheels, in black or silver.
I know, that steelies aren't the most asthetic choice, but these are real, hardcore racing parts. And they look like it, too.
They come in sizes from 15x7 to 16x14. The best part is that a set of four wont set you back more than $400-500. I'm getting 16x10's for my slicks as soon as the money comes in.

What is it with the GTA wheels?
It seems like every time someone is asking about wheels, one of the first replies is to 'throw some GTA's on it.' BBS's, Firehawks, those I'd understand; but why GTA's
What is so hot about those wheels?

I guess if you want beefy rims, I would go and get a set of Viper rims, and make some adaptor plates for them. Those things are pretty wide. But, I heard they are like $500 a rim. I'm not sure though....just what a kid that worked at a Dodge dealership said when he was changing a tire and scratched the rim.
(That calls for a double DOH!!)

...well the GTA wheels make the car look sleek and you can usually find them for a good price used, compared to the other wheels you stated.(unless money is not an issue)
secondly, I also think they were among the best designed thirdgen wheels. I just like them personally, and I also think that 16" wheels are big enough for a thirdgen and only the right 17"+ wheels look "suitable" on a thirdgen.(please remember that this is my preference and why I suggested them, I also plan to get some for my T/A when the cash rolls in
) Zepher what are those new rims on your car?? What size are they??? What is the price??? What happened to the rims in your signiture picture? I know these ones are different because they have center caps....

My brother needed to get his car inspected and needed to use my wheels since his tires are pretty much bald.
I am not too fond of them, they look pretty good, but I like my 17x9 WS6 wheels better,


What do you think?

Zepher, what did you do to to make the ones on the firs pic fit, I wanted to puat a set of those on my car, but they didnt fit because they were too wide, the guy said they are 10 in by 17.

I haven't driven the car with the OZ's since I have no Motor in the car at the time, that is why the front is sitting so high.
I'll probably run 245/45/17 on the fronts when I need a new pair of tires.

*chants ZR1, ZR1, ZR1!!!!


Plus, you can get em in 17x11 for the rear
Other than ZR1 wheels, I say ROH ZS's are sweet, they are what I originally had planned for my car, but I have since changed my mind.
