Made the best visual mod ever to the vert.. Picked up 5 GTA wheels (2 fronts, 3 rears) the other day. Just got some Kumos on em and put em the vert this evening. Here are the pics.







Whacha think?

Got the vert back in the begining of July. Yeah the hood is ...um odd. I hate it, but the guy who had the car before put them on there. In the spring it'll be getting a Ram air I hood.

The GTA wheels are IMHO the best looking factory wheels on a Firebird, and the IROC wheels are the best on the Camaros.

Looks great!

I think they look good, although I don't prefer gold myself...

Looks like the fronts could use some cleaning in those pics??? Thats one reason I don't like GTA rims...they seem to let a lot of brake dust thru the spokes.

I think the GTA wheels were some of the best looking wheels produced by GM. I have the black ones myself. I never really liked the gold ones, especially on bright red cars. They looked more tan than gold. I think the gold rims would look better if the shade of gold on them was brighter.

I kinda dig the hood!... Sure would look good on my T/A... wouldja consider parting with it?




Incidentally... sweet car!
