haven't seen to many here. however they were pretty popular back in the day and i see alot of them in my area. no so much true gta wheels but the black lace with polished lip.

definately a nice classic wheel when clean!

Theres also something called CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. And not to mention the fact wasnt about who thinks the wheels were 'fugly'. Its about who has them on their car.

You would be in the extreme minority on that one because you are the only person I ever heard of that didn't like them.


The GTA wheel is one of the few multi spoke wheels that look great on almost any car.




How many of you are running the Front GTA wheels on the rear like me and how Zepher used to when he had the wheels.

We took a 91 Z28 in on trade a few months back, the car is white with a nice set of gold GTA wheels. They look really sweet on the car but if they stay they might just turn black. Black GTA wheels look great on any thirdgen and don't look GTA specific like the gold ones do. Also GM had a 91/92 prototype camaro for the upcoming anniversary car that was in a few mags and made the shows. It had black Gta style wheels and looked bad *** and you could say Gm used them on (a) camaro so they are not pontiac only Someone will have the pictures and might just post them if you ask.
Extreme

i have them on mine....i love them......and with the 4th grn rear it gives the car a more aggressive stance since the wheels stick out a tad...

and to the guy that said they were gay.......they were the lightest 3rd gen wheels produced and if they were good enough for road racing cars and the heritage camaro...they are cool enough for me...

the more I see these rims the more I want a set for my Z. I have IROCS on it now and I just want to be a little different and since nobody around here even has the black ones I want a set soooooo bad.

A guy in Toronto has a set on his yellow IROC. It's one of the nicest looking thirdgens i've ever seen. Have any of you guys ever picked up one of your GTA rims without a tire mounted? It feels strange because they're so light.

i heard that they only weigh something like 17 lbs. as for selling my wheels, i probably wont until the end of summer (2 jobs this summer), because i dont have the 1100 plus cost of tires for the firehawk rims

GM thought they looked cool enough to put them on their one off LT5 25th Anniversary Camaro.
GM also thinks the Aztec looks cool.

Really? That's heavy! I'm just getting back into having Chevys again after a long time with Fords. 16x7 Mustang GT wheels are only 19lb....

If KagA is right, 17lb is pretty decent.

Somebody bust out a scale!
