Just wondering if anyone makes crosslace wheels like the GTA style wheels in 17 or even 18 inch.

My cousin has Enkei's on his Camaro. The were almost identical to the GTA wheel. He painted his silver instead of gold. I remember them being really light. Try this link to get a idea. His car is for sale right now.

No company makes a wheel that is similar to GTA wheels in 17s that you can buy new anymore. BBS, Enkei, and others made that style of wheels in the 80's. That design went out in the early 90's and so did the manufacturing of it as wheel. I don't see why the company that makes 17-20" Iroc wheels couldn't produce GTA wheels.

I don't like the Epsilon wheels because the the rim design part protrudes at the edges and it has bolts all along the edge. I used to love the bolts around the edges on modular wheels, but I really don't care for them now. I think BBS made the best ones though. You will have to really look around to find them, especially the 17's that fit our cars.
