Im quite a fan of the cross-lace wheels as well, plus they are a light lighter than a lot of the aftermarket wheels you will find.

If price and weight is a concern, I would go with the crosslaced rims. If you don't mind using wheel adapters and can afford the wheels too, then go with 2 or 3.


GTA wheels on a TA doesn't stand out the way they do on Formulas and Camaros since they were not standard issue. I would go with 2 if you want people to notice your rims.
